    Author: Volgger B, Marth C, Zeimet A, Müller-Holzner E, Ruth N, Dapunt O.
    Journal: Gynecol Oncol; 1997 Apr; 65(1):177-9. PubMed ID: 9103410.
    Abstract:
    Iatrogenic immune suppression following renal transplantation is frequently associated with certain neoplasms, including vulvar carcinoma. We describe a patient with a vulvar carcinoma less than 1 mm depth of invasion and less than 3 mm superficial spread 12 years after renal transplantation. A simple vulvectomy was performed but 4 months later disease recurred in the inguinal nodes. The patient died 20 months later with progressive disease in the retroperitoneum and liver metastases.
