ABSTRACT: Vulva
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is a rare tumor. It usually occurs in Caucasians at an
advanced age. We present a case of vulvar BCC in an African patient under 40 years
old with HIV infection successfully treated surgically. This presentation is exceptional
because of age, race, and the immune status of the patient.
