Abstract

Currently, squamous vulvar cancer is rare, which is why there is limited experience among health personnel in recognizing and managing this type of tumor location. The purpose of this case is to present the case of an 87-year-old woman with an ulcerative lesion on the vulva who underwent left vulvectomy with a report of squamous cell carcinoma in situ pathology, with favorable post-surgical evolution and without the need for adjuvant treatment when the inguinal lymph node was negative for metastasis.
