Abstract: | Early invasive stage I squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva treated with radical vulvectomy and bilateral inguinofemoral lymphadenectomy rarely recurs, particularly when the lymph nodes contain no metastatic tumor. Primary radical surgery in this patient utilized separate groin incisions, and recurrent tumor developed in the tissue bridge between the groin scar and the vulva. Reexploration showed numerous inguinofemoral nodes to subseqently contain recurrent carcinoma. Literature regarding early, "microinvasive," squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva is reviewed. |
