چکیده

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate a unique case report about late and isolated vulvar metastasis of sigmoid adeno-carcinoma with review of the literature. MATERIAL-METHOD 57 year old postmenopausal patient with prior sigmoid colon cancer history was admitted with isolated vulvar mass. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and KRAS gen mutation analysis following surgery were performed to discriminate the metastasis from a vulvar primary malignancy. Further imaging techniques were also performed to exclude additional tumours. RESULTS Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and KRAS gene mutation analysis revealed isolated metastasis of the colonic adeno-carcinoma in the vulva. CONCLUSION Isolated and late occurring vulvar metastasis of colonic origin is very unusual. Careful evaluation and IHC is useful for such cases.
