Sumario:Vulvar squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare disease that occurs mainly in postmenopausal women. Chemo/radiotherapy with or without surgery is the most important modality for treatment of advanced vulvar cancer. A case of vulvar SCC with aplastic anemia was treated using (125)I seeds in our department, because surgery and chemotherapy were not possible due to low platelets, leaving radiotherapy as the lone therapeutic option. (125)I seeds present an alternative option for treatment of patients with vulvar SCC and local relapse with lymph-node metastasis following previous radiotherapy.
