Medical records were reviewed for a patient with vulvar carcinoma diagnosed in pregnancy. Using Medline and cross references, pertinent articles were sought and reviewed. A 28-year-old Afghan woman in her sixth pregnancy presented with a vulvar lesion. Subsequent biopsy revealed squamous cell carcinoma. The patient was treated with local excision. She had a cesarean section in her 36'h week of pregnancy. She undetwent modified radical vulvectomy with bilateral groin dissection four weeks after ce arean. Because of a grossly positive groin lymph node, she also unde1went radiation therapy. She is alive without invasive cancer 7 months after diagnosis. This case demonstrates the need to biopsy all suspicious vulvar lesions, even in young and pregnant women.<o:p /></font></font></p> </font> Vulvar carcinoma. pregnancy, squamous cell carcinoma of vulva. 185 187 http://mjiri.iums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1-311&slc_lang=en&sid=1 MITRA MODARES GILANI 20031947532846003056 20031947532846003056 No Tehran Universityof Medical Science, Tehran.
