Abstract

Abstract Background Vulvar cancer is a rare disease, accounting for approximately 5% of gynecological malignancies. Primary adenocarcinoma of intestinal-type of the vulva or its precancerous lesion is extremely rare, and details regarding its origin, evolution and related genetic mutations are unknown. Treatment options for this cancer have not been defined. Case presentation A 63-year-old Japanese woman came to the hospital because she was aware of a vulvar mass. There was a 1 cm mass on the dorsal side of the vulva, just outside the remains of the hymen. Biopsy revealed suspected adenocarcinoma, and wide local excision was performed. From histopathology and immunohistochemistry, the specimen was diagnosed as tubulovillous adenoma with high-grade dysplasia of the vulva. No other primary lesions were found, and the vulva was considered the primary site. A gene panel test (FoundationOneCDx assay) showed a high tumor mutational burden and mutations in TP53, KEL, RB1, RNF43, PTEN, GNAS, and PIK3CA. Conclusions The current case of tubulovillous adenoma with high-grade dysplasia of the vulva had a variety of cancer-associated mutations, despite being a precancerous lesion. In cases of intestinal-type neoplasms of the vulva, it may be helpful to check tumor mutational burden and gene mutations for treatment selection.
