Abstract

Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the vulva is a very rare entity manifested by an indolent clinical course, late recurrence and a pro­pensity for perineural and local invasion. A 41-year-old women underwent radical local excision and ipsilateral superficial lymph-node dissection using a de-epithelized rhomboid flap for adenoid cystic carcinoma of the left vulva. On follow-up after two years the patient is alive and well with no evidence of disease. In this report we present the first case of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the vulva using a de-epithelized rhomboid flap.
