摘　　要：Introduction: Invasive cancers of the vulva are uncommon;it is a pathology of the elderly. More and more young women are concerned. Objectives: To study and analyze vulvar cancer in our context. Patients and Method: Retrospective, descriptive and analytical study carried out in the Gynecology Department of the Owendo University Hospital over a period of 5 years from 2020 to 2024. All cancer cases of the period were concerned and we included vulvar cancers. We studied the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic aspects. Results: We collected 5 files, the median age was 41.8 years [30 - 57 years], the average consultation time was 18 months [12 - 36 months]. Ulcerated, budding, and itchy lesions were present in 80% of cases. Invasive squamous cell carcinoma was the histological type present in all patients. Surgery was performed in 40% of cases. Concomitant radiochemotherapy (CRC) was offered in all patients. HIV was the comorbidity found in 100% of cases. Conclusion: Vulvar cancers are rare. They are often seen at advanced stages because of their location, the taboo nature they represent on the one hand and underdiagnosis on the other.Introduction: Invasive cancers of the vulva are uncommon;it is a pathology of the elderly.
