Squamous Carcinoma of the Vulva in a Developing Community
Authored by Wilson IB Onuigbo
A recent paper surveyed the management of patients with vulvar cancer.
According to the authors, clinical management of these patients implies
several challenges because it is a rare disease of elderly women with a
median age of 65-70 and an increasing incidence between 1973 and 2000.
Therefore, this paper, which deals with patients of the Igbo Ethnic
Group in Nigeria, is from 1970 to 2000. Moreover, seeing that a British
group considered that establishment of a histopathology data pool helps
in epidemiologic analysis, the present analysis is being attempted by
the pioneer pathologist of such a data pool established by the
Government of the Eastern Region of Nigeria during the same period. The
findings are worthy of documentation such as the comparability with the
right-sidedness of ovarian ruptured cysts.
