Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of the Vulva: A Case Report

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the vulva represents a highly uncommon type of female malignancy. Due to the absence of specific treatment guidelines, such cases are typically managed by the treatment protocols for vulvar cancer. Here, we report the case of a 52-year-old woman who presented with a painful right vulvar mass, leading to a diagnosis of ACC of the vulva after biopsy and immunohistochemical analysis. She underwent vulvectomy, bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy, and targeted radiotherapy, and no evidence of recurrence has been found for three years, with ongoing monitoring for post-radiation effects. This case adds valuable insights into the management of ACC of the vulva and underscores the need for further research and guideline development to optimize care for future patients.
