 ==Causes==
-The etiology of the cancer is unclear; however, some condition such as [[condyloma]] or squamous [[dysplasia]]s may have preceded the cancer. [[Human papillomavirus]] (HPV) is suspected to be a possible risk factor in the etiology of vulvar cancer. Patients infected with [[HIV]] tend to be more susceptible to vulvar malignancy. Also, smokers tend to be at higher risk.
