Abstract

Objective: Summarizing of treatment options for locally recurrent vulvar cancer in patients after previous complex oncological treatment and presenting a case report from our department. Methods: Presenting a case report of a patient after previous complex oncological treatment for spinocellular cancer of the vulva who presented with a locally recurrent tumor.

The patient was treated with a wide radical local excision of the tumor followed by a posterior thigh flap graft. Conclusion: Surgical intervention is the primary mode of treatment in locally recurrent cancers of the vulva.

Wide radical local excision as a mode of treatment can be optimized by the use of grafts aiding in wound healing.
