Summary. The clinical history and treatment of 17 patients with multi‐centric primary carcinomas of the cervix and vulva is presented. There is a significant association between vulval intraepithelial neoplasia and cervical neoplasia. The concept of multicentricity in relation to invasive and intraepithelial neoplasia of the cervix and vulva is critically reviewed.
