Abstract
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer. Vulvar BCC accounts for less than 1% of all BCCs but can be difficult to manage due to its functionally and cosmetically relevant anatomic location. Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is a tissue-sparing technique that ensures complete margin analysis, minimizing recurrence while preserving healthy tissue. In this study, we systematically reviewed the literature, searching for cases of vulvar BCC treated with MMS. Eight articles representing 17 cases of vulvar BCC treated with MMS have been published, and we added 3 extra cases of our own experience. The present study highlights the relevance of including BCC in the differential diagnosis of vulvar dermatosis, and the key role of MMS in the vulvar region, where tissue sparing and functionality preservation are vital.
期刊介绍：
Clinical and Experimental Dermatology (CED) is a unique provider of relevant and educational material for practising clinicians and dermatological researchers. We support continuing professional development (CPD) of dermatology specialists to advance the understanding, management and treatment of skin disease in order to improve patient outcomes.
