Vulvar tumors are not very common and account for about 4% of all cancers affecting the female genital organs. Frequently, malignant neoplasia of this site have squamous phenotype and the rare cases of metastasization are reported in the locoregional lymph nodes and in the surrounding organs. We report a case of metastasization of a vulvar squamous cell carcinoma in an unusual place such as the parietal pleura, in a relapsing patient that was submitted to a surgical vulvectomy the previous year.
