title: Basal cell carcinoma of the vulva with inguinal lymph node metastases.
abstract: Basal cell carcinoma of the vulva is a rare neoplasm which is generally thought to be indolent, locally invasive, and nonmetastasizing. A case of basal cell carcinoma of the vulva with metastases to the ipsilateral inguinal lymph nodes is presented. This is the third well-documented case in the literature of vulvar basal cell carcinoma with inguinal lymph node metastases.
