Abstract: The Sarcomatoid Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC), showing both epithelial and mesenchymal features, has been very rarely reported in the vulva. It is a rare variant of SCC with prominent spindle cell morphology. Till date less than 20 cases have been reported so far. It is also known as pseudosarcoma, spindle cell carcinoma or carcinosarcoma. Disease specific survival is worse, compared to non-spindle Cell morphology. Currently, most common treatment modality is surgical removal with or without adjuvant radiotherapy. Systematic reporting of these tumours is needed to plan future treatment protocols.
