Vulvar cancer is a rare malignancy that affects the vulva, the area
at the end of and outside the vagina. The vulva is composed of inner
and outer skin folds and, at the front of the vagina, a small hood of
skin called the prepuce. Beneath it lies the clitoris.
Vulvar cancer most often affects the inner edges of the skin folds.
Less often it occurs on the clitoris or in the Bartholin glands on
either side of the vaginal opening.
