title: Risk factors in vulvar carcinoma recurrences.
abstract: 18 patients with invasive vulvar carcinoma treated by radical vulvectomy and bilateral groin lymphadenectomy have been evaluated. An 18% of local and 22% of pelvic or distant recurrences occurred. The local recurrences had favorable prognosis, whereas the pelvic or distant recurrences a worse prognosis. The staging, the tumour size, the nodes involvement, the stromal infiltration and the lymphoplasmacytic infiltration, as prognostic factors, have been evaluated. All these factors, except the tumour size, influenced the pelvic or distant recurrences. The pelvic or distant recurrences were contemporaneously associated with mild phlogistic infiltration and depth of invasion > 5 mm.
