Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disease that frequently involves the perineal and perianal regions. The association between HS and malignant transformation is a rare but under recognized phenomenon.
Objective: This systematic review aims to summarize all available cases of vulvar and perianal/perineal cancer emerging in patients with HS, describing clinical and therapeutic particularities of these coexisting conditions in female patients.
Materials And Methods: This systematic review and pooled analysis was performed in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines; end-of-search date was June 15, 2015.
Results: A total of 13 eligible articles were identified; 7 cases of vulvar cancer and 6 cases of perineal/perianal carcinomas in patients with HS were noted. A majority of published cases pertained to rather advanced carcinomas; only occasionally early stage carcinomas were identified. The optimal modifications in the treatment scheme of vulvar, perianal, and perineal cancer in patients with HS have not been established; detailed reporting of recurrence- and survival-related aspects is advised.
Conclusion: Vulvar, perianal, and perineal cancer represent a rare but serious complication of HS.

Basal cell carcinomas (BCC) are driven primarily by cumulative ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure resulting in activation of the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway, often as a result of UV-mediated Patched-1 (PTCH1) gene inactivation. Accordingly, BCCs most commonly arise at sun-exposed sites such as the head and neck. Very rarely, BCCs can arise at sun-protected sites such as the genital skin and perianal area.

Some skin tumors can extend beyond their clinical appearance. This presents an additional challenge, especially when the affected area is the genital region, which is more difficult for both the patient and the physician to access and monitor due to its location and anatomical characteristics. The treatment of these lesions is complex, and literature postulates Mohs surgery as the best therapeutic option.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the infection rate, types of human papillomavirus (HPV), and the relationship between HPV types and host factors in Zhejiang and lay a foundation for developing a prophylactic HPV vaccine.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of the genotyping results of 27 hPV types using exfoliated cells from the cervix, vulva, perianal region, or oral mucosa of 28206 females, and exfoliated cells from the penis, perianal region or oral mucosa of 2923 male patients undergoing treatment between January 2016 and December 2021 at Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital was performed.
Results: In females, the overall positive rate was 30.
