Primary mucinous carcinoma of the vulva with signet ring cells deriving from the cloaca.

Primary mucinous carcinoma of the vulva with signet ring cells deriving from the cloaca. Eur J Gynaecol Oncol. 2016 08;37(4):554-557 Authors: Tulek F, Kahraman A, Taskin S, Yuksel S, Sertcelik A, Ortac F Abstract Vulvar neoplasias are rarely encountered lesions at female genital tract, regardless if they are primary or metastatic. Presence of signet ring cells in a tumour at female genito-urinary tract is highly suggestive of a metastatic lesion particularly from a gastrointestinal tumour. Here the authors present a case of vulvar carcinoma with signet ring cells with an undetermined primary site possibly originating from embryonic cloaca. PMID: 29894084 [PubMed - in process]
