A RARE TUMOUR AT RARE SITE - DERMATO FIBROSARCOMA PROTUBERANS OF CLITORIS

Vulval malignancies are relatively rare and accounts for around 5 of female genital malignancies. There has been a marginal increase in the incidence and mortality rate from vulval malignancy. The incidence has appreciably increased in the younger age group.1 The prognosis and conservation of vulval structures are best if this condition is diagnosed early, with a survival rate of over 90 in the absence of nodal involvement1 Nearly 90 of vulval cancers are Squamous cell carcinomas and 2 are sarcomas. Basal cell carcinoma, Melanoma, Adenocarcinoma, L ym p h om a, M e r k el e s c e l l c ar c i n om a, Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans and Malignant schwanoma are some of the rare tumours of vulva.2 A teenage girl presented with enlargement of clitoris and was clinically diagnosed to have a fibromatous growth. Wide excision was done. After histopathological examination it was diagnosed as Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans which is a very rare type of vulval malignancy. This case has been presented here for its rarity.
