Abstract

Recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva advances locally, spreads via the regional lymphatics and hematogenous spread is late and unusual. This is a rare case of a patient with a solitary pulmonary tumor originating from squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva. According to the literature this form of pulmonary involvement has not previously been described in cases of vulvar car­cinoma in the last 20 years.
