A 26-year-old Hispanic woman complaining of "itching" and "herpetic lesions" on the vulva for 9 months was seen at a university hospital. On physical examination, multiple vulvar masses were noted. Biopsies taken from these lesions showed invasive keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma. The vulvectomy specimen revealed 4 tumor masses, the largest located on the mons pubis. Although the incidence of vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia has increased in recent years, only very few cases of invasive…

Negative p53 expression and negative high risk HPV in a 26-year-old lady with vulvar keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma: report of a case
TLDR
A case of 26-year-old lady with keratinizing vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), in which vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) of the simplex type and p53 expression were absent, indicates the necessity to sample any suspicious lesions at this site at any age.
Diseases of the vulva - a clinicopathological
TLDR
The vulval lesions are one of the most neglected especially by the I vulva can harbour lesions starting from a benign bartholin's cyst to aggressive malignancies, more importance should be given to the timely detection, diagnosis and appropriate treatment of these lesions.

TLDR
The incidence of human papilloma virus-related vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia is increasing worldwide and affects older women, who are at risk of invasive cancer, and preliminary results of topical antiviral agents and photodynamic therapy are available.

TLDR
The mons pubis may become involved in dermatologic conditions or gynecologic lesions affecting the vulva, and a familiarity with these lesions will be helpful if a patient with a lesion of the mons is encountered.

TLDR
It is concluded that squamous cell carcinomas of the vulva are etiologically diverse tumors, of which a small but substantial proportion (BC and WC) are related to HPV, whereas the majority (KSC) are not.
Carcinoma in situ of the vulva. A clinicopathologic study of 50 cases.
TLDR
The authors reviewed 50 cases of carcinoma in situ of the vulva treated at the University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, from 1975 to 1984, finding no mortality from invasive cancer.
Invasive squamous carcinoma of the vulva in young patients.
TLDR
Prolonged follow-up of patients with invasive squamous carcinoma of the vulva below the age of 35 with "microinvasive" disease has revealed increased susceptibility of the perineum, vagina, and cervix to multiple neoplasms.

TLDR
The data suggest that vulvar cancer has a diverse etiology which in young women in HPv-related but in older women has little association with HPV, and there appears to be a close correlation between the presence of HPV, specivic subsets of invasive carcinomaand VIN, and age.
