Abstract
We describe a 60-year-old patient with verrucous carcinoma of the vulva, which recurred 6 years after simple vulvectomy and radiotherapy. Treatment with acitretin led to significant improvement and ongoing disease control has been achieved with low-dose maintenance therapy of 10 mg acitretin daily.
