A 72-year-old woman visited our hospital to clarify the etiology of pain, swelling and ulceration of the right large vulva labium. Rectal cancer and pulmonary metastatic tumor were detected, and the rectal cancer was resected.

Our patient experienced necrosis of the tip of the flap and the wound was healed by secondary intention.
