Presented is a patient with advanced vulvar cancer involving the vagina, the perineum and the anus, with metastases to inguinal lymph nodes. The patient received irradiation and next, an artificial sigmoidal anus was made, with simultaneous vulvectomy performed with an electrosurgery. The patient's survival of 3 years and 3 months encourages to consider in such cases an attempt at applying aggressive surgical treatment combined with external radiotherapy.
