Squamous cell carcinoma of vulva during pregnancy- A rare case report with review of literature

ABSTRACT

Vulval carcinoma accounts for just 4% of all gynecological malignancies. It rarely occurs in women under the age of 40 years and diagnosis during pregnancy is extremely rare. This is a case of vulval carcinoma in a 31-year-old multiparous woman diagnosed in the third trimester of pregnancy and had successful pregnancy outcome. There are no clear recommendations on management of vulvar cancer during pregnancy. However surgical resection and lymphadenectomy during pregnancy has comparable outcomes to that observed in non-pregnant women.
