Although vulvar cancer has traditionally been considered a rare disease that occurs at advanced ages, the current reality shows a rising incidence in women in the third to fifth decades of life. This increase is probably due to new dietary and social hygiene habits and to improved medical knowledge and increasingly specific complementary tests, which allow earlier diagnosis. An early diagnosis is a key factor in achieving an optimal prognosis. Consequently, careful physical examination, assessment of the symptoms reported by patients, and macroscopic and colposcopic study to determine the presence or absence of associated lesions in the area are essential.
