The purpose of this study is to report clinical aspects and treatment results of @entity1 seen at Johns Hopkins. A search of the @entity5 registry of the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive @entity5 Center found 453 @entity1 with @entity5 of the vulva registered between 1977 and 1997. @entity1 and @entity5 characteristics, treatment methods, and follow-up were obtained from charts. Seven @entity1 were identified with @entity242 of the vulva. Of these, one was removed from analysis due to histology. Three @entity1 had @entity1822 , two had @entity1492 , and one had @entity242 . The mean age was 41. Mean time to diagnosis was 6 months. All but one of the @entity5 was located on the labia majora. Median @entity5 size was 3.5 cm. Surgery varied from wide local excision to radical vulvectomy with inguinal lymph node dissection. Surgical margins were microscopically negative in five of the six cases. Two @entity1 had received adjuvant external beam radiation. One of them had a @entity5 greater than 5 cm and close surgical margins and the other had high-grade @entity5 , which recurred after previous surgery. Mean follow-up was 127.8 months. There have been no recurrences to date.
