Abstract

Recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva advances locally, spreads via the regional lymphatics and hematogenous spread is late and unusual. This is a rare case of a patient with a solitary pulmonary tumor originating from squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva. According to the literature this form of pulmonary involvement has not previously been described in cases of vulvar carcinoma in the last 20 years.
