Abstract
It was Mrs. SB, aged 42, married, primigeste, with a history of menarche at 14 years, twin birth and concept of low genital infection, received at the oncological consultation of 24/05/2017, for vulvar swelling evolving for 3 months. A examination, it had a vulva tumor budding 6 x 6 cm, interesting the 2 lips, the entire left lip and 2/3 of the right with infiltration of the bladder trine, inguinal ganglia indurated and a flow of odorless pus at the pressure of the tumor (Figure 1) at that date, colposcopy was normal. The diagnosis of suspected neoplasia of the vulva with destruction of the lips (large and small) was posed with biopsy samples and a request for paraclinical investigations exploring the field, after counseling on neoplasia and on the possible positivity of testing for sexually transmitted diseases including HIV. As of 12/07/2017, it was reviewed with worsening and infiltration of the entire vulva to Mont the venus [Figure 2] and histological confirmation results (of appearance corresponding to invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva), serology positive for HIV 1 and TPHA / RPR (syphilis), CD4 count at 265 / mm3, CRP positive at 80 mg / dl and moderate anemia at 9g/dl. A palliative treatment was offered to him with his orientation, after counseling, in the house of his treatment day with Anti Retro Virus (ARV).
