Vulvar leiomyosarcoma in pregnancy

Am J Obstet Gynecol. 1990 Jan;162(1):164-6. doi: 10.1016/0002-9378(90)90841-t.

Abstract

To our knowledge, this is the first case of vulvar leiomyosarcoma occurring during pregnancy to be reported. The neoplasm was resected immediately after a term vaginal delivery. A wide local excision of the vulva with bilateral superficial inguinal node sampling was performed 6 weeks post partum. Four previous cases of vulvar sarcoma occurring in pregnancy are reviewed. The need to perform biopsy of vulvar lesions during pregnancy is emphasized.
