ABSTRACT
Introduction and objective:
The study presents the problem of immune disturbances in pregnant women with vulvar carcinoma in situ (VIN3).
Material and Methods:
NK cell and T reg activity in the study patient were analysed using flow cytometry.
Results:
Decreased NK cell activity and but increased T reg activity were observed after vulvectomy, with subsequent successful pregnancy outcome.
Conclusions:
Although vulvar cancer may influence immune cell activity, this issue merits further study.
