Summary

Objective:
The aim of this article is to highlight a possible occurrence of basal cell carcinoma in young patient.

Design:
Case report.

Setting:
Porodnicko-gynekologická klinika FN Ostrava.

Methods:
We report case of a 37-year-old patient with a lesion of a vulva, which persisted for 3 years. The patient was during these free years repeatedly examined by a gynecologist and a dermatologist. She was treated by antibiotics and corticosteroids without any effect. After 3 years she was sent to an expert examination, during which was removed a biopsy. From the biopsy specimen was diagnosed basal cell carcinoma. Radical excision was indicated due tu the finding.

Results:
Patient is now 29 months disease-free.

Conclusion:
Any persistent lesion in the vulvar region should be subjected to histological examination, even in young patients where the diagnosis of basal cell vulvar carcinoma is very unlikely.

Keywords:
basal cell carcinoma, vulva
