    Summary

    Carcinoma in situ of the vulva (CIS) can be asymptomatic and associated with other neoplasias. Surgical excision is effective, though recurrences may require further treatment, with no cancer-related deaths observed in this study.

    Area of Science:

    • Gynecologic Oncology
    • Dermatopathology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Carcinoma in situ of the vulva (CIS) is a rare condition.
    • CIS can present asymptomatically or with non-specific symptoms like itching.
    • A significant proportion of patients have associated preinvasive or invasive neoplasia.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the clinical characteristics, treatment modalities, and outcomes of patients with vulvar CIS.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and recurrence rates associated with different treatment approaches for vulvar CIS.
    • To identify risk factors and prognostic indicators for vulvar CIS.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 50 patients diagnosed with vulvar CIS.
    • Analysis of patient demographics, clinical presentation, treatment interventions, and follow-up data.
    • Categorization of treatments including vulvectomy, wide local excision, skinning and skin graft, topical 5-fluorouracil, and CO2 laser therapy.

    Main Results:

    • 10% of patients were immunosuppressed, and 24% had other neoplasias.
    • 46.5% of patients were asymptomatic; vulvar itching and white lesions were common symptoms.
    • Recurrence occurred in 6 patients, with topical 5-fluorouracil and CO2 laser showing treatment failures. Invasive disease was diagnosed post-treatment in some cases.
    • All recurrences responded to therapy, and no cancer-related deaths were reported during follow-up.

    Conclusions:

    • Vulvar CIS management requires careful consideration of patient factors and treatment options.
    • Surgical interventions like wide local excision are generally effective, but vigilance for recurrence and progression to invasive disease is crucial.
    • Despite treatment challenges and recurrences, vulvar CIS has a favorable prognosis with no observed cancer-related mortality in this cohort.
