Learning objectives To detail the application of MRI in the diagnosis of vulvar cancer and its value in locoregional staging. The vulvar anatomy and MRI findings corresponding to this pathology will be described with a review of the protocol and technique, which will serve to characterise the pathology and assign a stage within the usual classifications (TNM or FIGO).
Read more Background We study the most current literature and the latest clinical practice guidelines from national and international gynaecology and oncology societies, as well as a review of our cases as a reference centre in the last 5 years. 
Read more Findings and procedure details INTRODUCTIONVulvar cancer is the least common tumour of the female genital tract (3-5%) and occurs mainly in post-menopausal women. Most patients are diagnosed at an early stage, due to the presence of vulvar swelling or ulceration associated with symptoms (pain, itching, discharge, etc.) or debut with palpable inguinal lymphadenopathy. While approximately one third of patients with vulvar carcinoma are diagnosed with locally advanced disease at the time of presentation, there is currently no protocol for the management of vulvar carcinoma....
Read more Conclusion The use of MRI in the staging of vulvar cancer is a tool that helps to standardise the diagnostic protocol for the disease in selected cases which, together with the combination of other tests, allows clinicians to optimise treatment and establish a prognosis for each patient.
