AB Vulvar  cancer  accounts  for  5%  of  gynecologic  malignancies  and  occurs  most  commonly  in  postmenopausal  women.  Many  vulvar  neoplasms  are  asymptomatic  and  are  discovered  incidentally  during  gynecologic  examination.  Patients  with  symptoms  most  commonly  complain  of  vulvar  pruritis  and  may  have  noticed  a  vulvar  mass.  In  advanced  cases,  vulvar  bleeding  or  discharge,  dysuria,  or  inguinal  lymphadenopathy  may  be  present.  A  single  plaque,  ulcer,  or  mass  (fleshy,  nodular,  or  warty)  is  most  commonly  found  on  the  labia  majora,  but  other  areas  may  be  affected.  Less  than  5%  of  cases  have  multifocal  lesions.
