Abstract:
An advanced epidermoid carcinoma of the vulva was treated with cryosurgery when radical surgery was refused. The cryosurgery was well tolerated in an elderly patient with arteriosclerotic heart disease, and local tumor control was achieved. Availability of sophisticated instrumentation for the destruction of tumors by freezing leads to broader indications for and increased use of this mode of therapy for vulvar and other malignancies.
