“…The average age of our patients was 55. In Africa, the average age varies between 46 and 61 [ 19 , 22 , 23 ]. Some average ages of 46 and 49 were noticed in Ghana and in Mali [ 19 , 22 ].…”

“…A part from the infectious factors, many other risk factors were reported in the literature. Diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and atherosclerosis, sclerotic lichen, lupus, pemphigus vugaris are suspected to be the factors which are most frequently associated with vulvar cancers [ 11 , 23 ]. In addition to these factors, in the researcher’s series, other factors that could be involved in the appearance of vulvar cancers were noticed.…”

BackgroundVulvar cancer is a rare gynaecological cancer. In Burkina Faso, the diagnosis of vulvar cancers is delayed and the prognosis is poor. However, no specific study on vulvar cancers has been conducted at the moment. This work aimed to study the characteristics of these cancers.MethodsThis is a prospective study on histologically confirmed primary cancers of the vulva diagnosed between 1st January 2013 and 30th June 2015. The demographic and clinical aspects were studied at the Yalgado Ouedraogo University Hospital of Ouagadougou (CHU-YO).ResultsWe noticed 21 cases of vulvar cancers within 30 months, ranking it as the 4th most common gynaecological cancer. The average age of the patients was 55 years (standard deviation +/− 6.3) and the median age was 57 years. Scars resulting from female circumcision, menopause (n = 20) and HIV infection were noticed in 19 cases and 6 cases respectively. The average time from first symptoms to first consultation was 29 months. Pain and ulceration were the main reasons for consultation. The clinical picture was chiefly an ulcero-granulating tumour. There was squamous cell carcinoma in 20 cases and basal carcinoma in 1 case. Fifteen patients were at stage III or IV, where of three patients had metastatic disease. We noticed vitiligo in 9 vulvar cancer cases.ConclusionThe cancer of the vulva is rare. Women are of menopausal age, are mostly circumcised and HIV-infection is common. A majority of patients sought consultation at advanced stage of disease, and diagnosis was belatedly made. Pain and ulceration were the main reasons for consultation. The sensitization of the population, education for self- examination would allow earlier diagnosis.

“…Partial vulvectomy may be indicated in the early stages, and the role of the sentinel lymph node in the surgical treatment of vulvar cancer is currently being evaluated [8]. Inguinal curage, whether unilateral or bilateral, was rarely performed [6]. In our study, this procedure was performed in more than half the patients.…”

Introduction: The aim of this study was to report the indications and evaluate the results of vulvectomy in the general surgery department of Ignace Deen Hospital, CHU Conakry. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective descriptive study, conducted over a period of five (05) years from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2022, in the general surgery department of Ignace Deen Hospital, CHU Conakry. We included in our study all patient records in whom vulvectomy was performed. Results: We recorded 15 cases of vulvectomy out of 453 perineal surgeries, i.e. 3.31%, with a mean age of 43.56 years and extremes of 35 and 69 years. Vulvar cancer was the most common diagnosis (46.67%), followed by Buschke-Lowenstein (33.33%) and anal canal cancer extending to the vulva (20%). Six patients had undergone biopsy (40%). Vulvectomy with lymph node dissection was performed in only 9 patients (60%), and all surgical specimens were sent to anatomical pathology (100%). Conclusion: Vulvectomy is a surgical technique most often indicated for the treatment of vulvar cancer.

“…However, its incidence is currently increasing in young women [2,10]. Indeed, it is a well-differentiated form of squamous cell carcinoma linked to viral infection by HPV 6, found in more than 50% of cases [3,5], sometimes associated with polyviral involvement, which explains the frequent association of verrucous carcinoma of the vulva with intraepithelial neoplasia and invasive carcinoma of the vulva [5,11].…”

Introduction: Verrucous carcinoma of the vulva is a rare lesion, mainly affecting postmenopausal women, this lesion is a distinct and particular entity in the classification of vulvar carcinomas and its progression is uncertain and unpredictable. It is characterized by its extensive exophytic growth without infiltration of the basement membrane. Case Report: We report a case of verrucous carcinoma of the vulva collected at the Mohamed VI cancer treatment center in Casablanca, we will discuss through a literature review, its therapeutic and evolutionary diagnostic modalities. Conclusion: Therefore, verrucous carcinoma is a rare entity and its evolution is mainly local, rarely metastatic. It is the indication for exclusive surgical treatment with wide excision without lymphadenectomy in principle. Radiation therapy provides no survival benefit. The prognosis is relatively good but burdened by local recurrences.
