Well-differentiated Squamous Cell Carcinoma With Sarcomatous Differentiation in Patient With a History of Recurrent Verrucous Carcinoma.
International Journal of Gynecological Pathology 2024 March 1
Human papillomavirus-independent vulvar squamous cell carcinoma has a peak incidence in about the eighth decade of life. A variable portion of the vulvar squamous cell carcinoma are human papillomavirus-independent comprising 20% to 80% of all cases. Verrucous carcinoma (VC) is part of the spectrum of human papillomavirus-independent carcinomas and its combination with well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma with sarcomatous differentiation is an extremely unusual neoplasm. The available literature on VC is currently limited to case reports and small single-institution studies. Here, we present a case concerning an 81-year-old woman with a history of chronic itching, swelling, and lichen sclerosis with variable-sized multiple white-pink plaques of the vulva. The pathologic diagnosis of VC was made. The patient later on developed multiple lesions of biopsy proved VC and most recent biopsy shows well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma with abrupt sarcomatous differentiation. A review of the literature shows the rarity of this lesion of the female genital tract. Clinicians and patients should be aware of the aggressive behavior of cancers and adjust their surgical management together with the follow-up strategy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first description of a VC and well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma with abrupt sarcomatous differentiation occurring in the vulva.
