1.1.1. Primary site Cases should be classified as carcinoma of the vulva when the primary site of growth is in the vulva. Tumors present in the vulva as secondary growths, from either a genital or extragenital site, will have to be excluded. Malignant melanoma should be separately reported. Any lesion that involves both the vagina and vulva (i.e. crosses the hymenal ring) should be classified a...

BACKGROUND Nematode vulva formation provides a paradigm to study the evolution of pattern formation and cell-fate specification. The Caenorhabditis elegans vulva is generated from three of six equipotent cells that form the so-called vulva equivalence group. During evolution, the size of the vulva equivalence group has changed: Panagrellus redivivus has eight, C. elegans six, and Pristionchus p...

  Fibroadenoma of the vulva is an uncommon lesion. It has been suggested that they originate from vulvar mammary like other glands. A few examples of benign and malignant vulvar tumors arising from such glands have been reported. A 32-year-old woman was referred with a subcutaneous mass at the vulva. The patient treated by simple excisional surgery with adequate peripheral margin. Histologic...

Vulva development in C. elegans involves cell fate specification followed by a morphogenesis phase in which homologous mirror image pairs within a linear array of primordial vulva cells form a crescent shape as they move sequentially towards a midline position within the array. The homologous pairs from opposite half vulvae in fixed sequence fuse with one another at their leading tips to form r...

The Caenorhabditis elegans vulva is induced by a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family that is expressed in the gonadal anchor cell, representing a prime example of signaling processes in animal development. Comparative studies indicated that vulva induction has changed rapidly during evolution. However, nothing was known about the molecular mechanisms underlying these differences....

BACKGROUND Angiokeratoma of fordyce occurring over on the vulva is a rare condition. Fordyce angiokeratoma is observed more frequently among men than women. In women, it is generally observed in later life, and appears as multiple dark purple papules, measuring 2-4 mm, on the vulva. CASE REPORT We present the case of a 17-year-old white teenage girl with giant Fordyce angiokeratoma on the rig...

Abstract Cosmetic surgery and techno-medical manufacturing of the body are booming. The transformative potential cosmetic is used to shape enhance physical appearance, gender identity sexuality. Among procedures that have become popular intimate for women, which oriented towards an ideal vulva. Almost in parallel with this trend, vulva-positive websites highlighting diversity vulva becoming eve...
