Abstract:
An extremely rare case of squamous cell carcinoma with sarcomatoid features of the vulva in a 43- year-old woman is reported. Squamous cell carcinoma with sarcomatoid features of the vulva is known as a rapidly growing tumor with poorer clinical outcomes than squamous cell carcinoma. To date only 15 cases of squamous cell carcinoma with sarcomatoid features of the vulva have been reported in the world literature, none in our country. We report a case of a squamous cell carcinoma with sarcomatoid features that we have experienced recently with a brief review of the literature.
