ABSTRACT

Carcinoma of the vulva has commonly been recognized as a disease of post-menopausal women, although some series have noted up to 15% of cases occur in women under the age of 40 years. The following is a report of a case of invasive vulvar carcinoma diagnosed and treated with radical surgery during pregnancy. Recommendations for treatment of this disease during pregnancy are presented and guidelines for subsequent route of delivery are proposed. A review of previously reported cases is also presented.
