    Summary

    Distant bone metastasis from vulvar carcinoma is rare. This study reports three cases of pathologic fractures occurring within eight months after surgery for advanced vulvar cancer.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Skeletal Metastasis
    • Gynecologic Oncology

    Background:

    • Vulvar carcinoma is a rare gynecologic malignancy.
    • Bone metastasis is an infrequent complication of vulvar cancer, particularly to distant sites.

    Observation:

    • Three cases of advanced vulvar carcinoma patients developed pathologic bone fractures.
    • Fractures occurred within eight months following radical surgical treatment.

    Findings:

    • Bone metastasis from vulvar cancer, especially to distant sites, is uncommon.
    • Pathologic fractures can be an early sign of skeletal involvement.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of monitoring for skeletal complications in advanced vulvar cancer.
    • Suggests the need for further research into the incidence and management of bone metastasis in vulvar carcinoma.
