Mesenchymal lesions of the vulva
2021, Seminars in Diagnostic PathologyCitation Excerpt :Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a low-grade dermal sarcoma, which predominantly affects the trunk and proximal limbs of young to middle-aged adults. However, DFSP can arise at virtually any cutaneous site, including the vulva.96–104 Vulvar DFSP occurs across a wide age range, but most commonly affects women in the fourth and fifth decades.98,101,104

2018, Diagnostic Gynecologic and Obstetric PathologyVulvovaginal mesenchymal lesions: a review and update
2018, Diagnostic HistopathologyCitation Excerpt :A wide variety of other mesenchymal lesions may occasionally involve the vulvovaginal region and it is stressed that when dealing with a mesenchymal lesion at this site, the pathologist should think widely and consider other lesions rather than just the site specific ones discussed. Mesenchymal lesions that have been reported in the vulvovaginal region include nodular fasciitis, fibromatosis, spindle cell lipoma, liposarcoma, neural tumours (benign and malignant, including myxoid variants), haemangiopericytoma, solitary fibrous tumour, mammary-type myofibroblastoma, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (including myxoid variants), myoepithelial neoplasms (benign and malignant), epithelioid sarcoma, synovial sarcoma, angiosarcoma, alveolar soft part sarcoma, perivascular epithelioid cell tumour (PEComa) and neoplasms in the Ewing family of tumours.93–113 It should also be remembered that occasional, epithelial neoplasms may contain a population of spindle cells and, especially in a small biopsy, be mistaken for a mesenchymal lesion.
Special Considerations for Mohs Micrographic Surgery on the Eyelids, Lips, Genitalia, and Nail Unit
2011, Dermatologic ClinicsCitation Excerpt :MMS (especially with multiple preoperative scouting biopsies) is becoming the surgery of choice for extramammary Paget disease, with overall lower recurrence rates (16%–23% vs 31%–61% for standard excision) (see Table 2).37,38 A multidisciplinary approach should be taken for genital cancers and may involve urologists, gynecologists, oncologists, radiation oncologists, plastic surgeons, dermatologic surgeons, dermatologists, and dermatopathologists.33 Repair options for genital surgery include secondary intention healing, primary closures, split or full-thickness skin graft, and fasciocutaneous or myocutaneous flaps.30,33
