Abstract

We present a 16-year-old girl with vulvar squamous cell carcinoma. The patient initially received a radical treatment because of lymph-node dissemination. However, recurrent disease erupted a little more than one year after the initial treatment, with metastases in the right lung and multiple osteolytic skeletal metastases. Despite aggressive treatments with chemotherapy the patient died about 2 years after the initial diagnosis. An aggressive radical treatment must be chosen for cases of invasive vulvar carcinoma, irrespective of the patient's age.
