Résumé
Metastatic neoplasms to the vulva are rare and can pose a diagnostic dilemma. As identification of the primary site can influence patient treatment and prognosis, correct diagnosis is important. PubMed was searched for applicable publications using the terms vulva, vulvar neoplasms, metastasis, and vulvar metastasis. Most neoplasms metastatic to the vulva originate from other genital sources; however, extragenital primary neoplasms can also metastasize to the vulva. Vulvar metastases often occur in the setting of widespread disease. It is important to consider biopsy for appropriate histologic and immunohistochemical studies, as well as consider patient history to establish the primary site of metastatic lesions to the vulva, allowing optimal therapy.
