title: [Pregnancy and malignant diseases. Part III--. Vulvar cancer].
abstract: Vulvar cancer is among the rarest gynecological tumors. It is extremely rare in pregnant women. In the scientific literature, data has been recorded for no more than 50 cases of vulvar cancer during pregnancy. The etiological and pathogeneteic role of the HPV infection is discussed. The early histological diagnosis and treatment of every vulvar neoplasia during pregnancy are preconditions for a favorable prognosis for the disease and the pregnancy likewise. The management for women with vulvar cancer and pregnancy needs to be determined by a multidisciplinary staff with obstetrician-gynecologists, oncologists and neonatologists, while the point of view of the patient also has to be taken into account.
