Article Synopsis
- Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) can affect various organs, including the vagina and vulva, with vulvar carcinoma being a rare occurrence, typically seen in those over 70 years old, with a low prevalence of 2.6 per 100,000 people.
- This case study focuses on a 65-year-old woman diagnosed with well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (WDSCC) of the clitoris, highlighting an increasing trend of diagnoses in women aged 35 to 45.
- Current treatment approaches are shifting from radical surgeries, such as vulvectomy and lymph node removal, to more personalized and less invasive strategies for managing vulvar carcinomas.
