“…Vulvar BCC most commonly presents on the labia majora, but lesions on the labia minora and clitoris have been reported 8,12,13 . Thus, the anatomic distribution of vulvar BCC is identical to that seen in vulvar squamous‐cell carcinoma 10 …”

“…Multiple factors have been implicated in the etiology of vulvar BCC. Such variable causes as syphilis, chronic vulvovaginitis, trauma, radiotherapy, endogenous hormones or their absence, arsenic therapy, and vaginal disease secondary to cervicitis have been suggested 4,10 . The most constant historical feature is the presence of an agent producing chronic vulvar irritation 15 .…”

“…Presenting symptoms in patients with vulvar BCC are quite variable. The most frequent complaints are pruritus, tenderness, or burning on urination; there may occasionally be no presenting symptoms 8–10 . The duration of disease prior to diagnosis is often protracted, with the patient seeking medical advice years after first noticing the lesion.…”

Cervical cancer retains its character as a venereal disease associated with infections and multiple sexual partners, but poverty also is important. Precise incidence figures for cervical and endometrial cancer are almost nonexistent because in areas with precise case counts there is rarely accurate knowledge of hysterectomy prevalence. For endometrial cancer little recent attention has been paid to any risk factor except exogenous estrogen. It is now suggested that a low pregnancy rate is a cause, not a consequence, of ovarian pathology leading to cancer. Some progress has been made in separating the epidemiologies of various kinds of ovarian and uterine cancer. A few clues are available regarding the epidemiology of fallopian tube cancers and vaginal cancers other than those produced by maternal stilbestrol. Vulvar cancer becomes common only after the age of 75 and so has been neglected epidemiologically.

Basal cell carcinoma was found in eight of 61 cases of vulvar malignancy occurring over a 20-year period. This incidence of basal cell carcinoma was 13.1%, higher than the expected 2%-5% reported previously in the literature. Symptoms of a mass, usually discharge, pruritus or bleeding, were commonly ignored for long periods of time by the elderly patient. The specific location and size were difficult to ascertain from hospital records. Therapy is always surgical with wide local excision recommended. Local recurrence will be noted in 10%-20%, as vulvar basal cell carcinoma is a multicentric lesion and, therefore, long-term follow-up, as with any malignancy, is mandatory. Adequate identification and reporting may well show that this lesion is more common than has been previously thought.
