1.1.1. Primary site Cases should be classified as carcinomaof the vulvawhen the primary site of growth is in the vulva. Any lesion that involves both the vagina and vulva (i.e. crosses the hymenal ring) should be classified as a carcinoma of the vulva. Tumors that present in the vulva as secondary growths, from either a genital or extragenital site, should be excluded. Malignant melanoma should be reported separately. There must be histologic confirmation of the cancer.
