Abstract
Invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva is exceptional before the age of 40 years. We present a differentiated squamous carcinoma of the clitoris in a 30-year-old nulliparous woman who presented with vulvodynia for the past 2 years. On examination, a suspicious tumor was detected in the clitoris. Biopsy revealed an invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva, stage Ia. Conservative surgery (tumorectomy with safety margins and sentinel node) was performed with good patient recovery and return to normal working life before 30 days.
