title: [Epidemiology and clinical presentation of vulvar cancer].
abstract: Recently, we observed a lowering in the average age of women affected by vulvar cancer. Five years after the diagnosis, survival is little more than 50%. Such a severe prognosis is caused both by a late diagnosis and organization lacks of prevention. Etiology and symptomatology of vulvar cancer are widely treated; particular prominence is given to the differential diagnosis.
