Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To demonstrate a case with a vulvar metastasis masquerading a primary vulvar malignancy. The clinical and histological features, mechanism, and impact to the prognosis are discussed. CASE REPORT:A 58-year-old woman presented to gynecologist for abnormal vaginal discharge. A vulvar nodule was noticed during physical examination. Biopsy showed adenocarcinoma (ADC) and she was referred for further survey under the impression of Bartholin duct ADC. Later she was further found to also have a colorectal tumor with liver metastasis and subsequently received surgery under the suspicion of a double primary cancer involving the colon and vulva. The pathology revealed colorectal ADC with both hepatic and vulvar metastasis. CONCLUSION:Secondary tumor in female genital tract is unusual and vulvar metastasis is the rarest kind. The clinical manifestation may be perplexing especially if a patient is presented with a nonspecific gynecological symptom such as abnormal vaginal discharge without any past history.
