[Cancer of the vulva and pregnancy: two cases and review of the literature].

The cancer of vulva is predominantly a disease of postmenopausal women. But some cases have been reported in young women during pregnancy. Surgical management during pregnancy depends on several factors: gestational age at the diagnosis, lesion size, depth and location, lymph node status. We have conducted a national survey and report here the only two cases of squamous cell carcinoma diagnosed and treated during pregnancy at 26 and 15 weeks gestation. All vulva symptoms without signs of infectious should be examined with attention in order to detect vulvar lesions. When in doubt, a biopsy must be obtained. Management of vulva carcinoma is not modified during pregnancy, but the age of pregnancy must be considered.
