ABSTRACT
The aim is to ascertain the pattern and frequency of vulval tumours as seen at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital. Forty (40) vulval tumours were used for the study. Twenty nine (72.5) were benign and eleven (27.5) were malignant. Patients of age 50 years and above were most affected 24(60). The most common clinical presentation was elevated and ulcerated plaques9 (22.5). Condyloma accummatum was the most common benign tumour while squamous cell carcinoma was the most common malignant tumour. It is concluded that vulval tumours are rare in this environment and that the malignant variants present at advanced stage of the disease in later ages. They constitute a remarkable morbidity and mortality especially in the obese and chronically ill menopausal women
