title: Infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the vulva.
abstract: The eleventh case of primary infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the vulva is reported with a review of the literature. The infiltrating tumor is associated with an intraductal component as well as noninvolved mammary-like glandular tissue (ectopic breast tissue) and metastases to inguinal lymph nodes. Estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor immunohistochemical staining is negative utilizing the HSCORE method. The treatment regimen is patterned after approach to node-positive breast carcinoma.
