| Popis: | Highlights • When two or more primary tumors arise at the same time, they are considered synchronous. • A metachronous tumor in a new primary that develops after an initial cancer diagnosis. • The diagnosis of vulvar breast cancer is primarily histopathologic, based on morphology and immunostaining. • Identifying a cancer as a metastasis versus as synchronous/metachronous significantly impacts staging and treatment. |
