Vulvar intestinal adenocarcinoma is a rare malignancy. The most significant predictor of advanced vulvar cancer is achieving complete resection, although determining the optimal treatment for this rare histologic type remains uncertain. We report the case of a 63-year-old woman with a primary vulvar tumor suspected of having rectal invasion and inguinal lymph node metastases based on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography scans. To achieve complete resection of stage IIIC intestinal-type vulvar adenocarcinoma, we performed a laparoscopic posterior pelvic exenteration (PPE) and radical vulvectomy, along with bilateral inguinal lymph node dissection. This case report highlights the use of a novel hybrid procedure that combines laparoscopic PPE with radical vulvectomy and bilateral inguinal lymph node dissection for vulvar adenocarcinoma of the intestinal type. Laparoscopic PPE can be considered a minimally invasive approach for vulvar tumor when complete resection is achievable with an appropriate safety margin. |
