Vulvar Cancer

(Page 2)

Signs of vulvar melanoma can include a black or brown raised area or a change in the size, shape or color of a pre-existing mole.

Signs of a Bartholin's gland adenocarcinoma include a lump at the opening to the vagina. A lump also can be a more common benign cyst, but you should have an evaluation to make sure it is not cancerous. A sore, red, scaly area of the vulva can be a sign of Paget's disease.

Keep in mind that some signs and symptoms of vulvar cancer also can occur with other, noncancerous conditions, such as infection or trauma.
