Introduction And Importance: Female circumcision, also known as female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C), is a common practice in many Arab countries, including Egypt. One potential complication of FGM/C is the development of a clitoral epidermal inclusion cyst, which occurs when keratinized epithelial cells and sebaceous glands become incorporated into the circumcision scar line in the clitoral or labial area. The objective of this study is to present a rare case of a large clitoral epidermal inclusion cyst following FGM/C and to review the current practice of FGM/C in the Arab world, including Egypt, Sudan, and Saudi Arabia.

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.
