A recent analysis of the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) registry of the US National Cancer Institute has shown that squamous cell carcinoma accounts for approximately 75% of all vulvar cancers. [22] These lesions originate from epidermal squamous cells, the most common type of skin cell. Carcinoma-in-situ is a precursor ...
