in a Pregnant Woman: Case Report and Review of Literature

Περίληψη:
Myoepithelial tumors of the vulva are extremely rare, with only 8 cases
reported in the literature to date. We report the first case of a
high-grade myoepithelial vulvar carcinoma diagnosed in a 35-year-old
woman during the 27th week of her pregnancy. The patient initially
underwent a wide local excision of the lesion but noted rapid regrowth
of the vulvar mass during the next 2 months before her delivery. Shortly
thereafter, she underwent a classic radical Taussig-Basset total radical
vulvectomy, bilateral superficial and deep inguinal groin node
dissection, partial vaginectomy, and reconstruction of the vulva.
However, the patient rapidly developed both locoregional and distant
mestatatic disease, despite aggressive chemoradiotherapy, and she
eventually succumbed to disseminated disease almost 20 months after her
initial diagnosis.
