Abstract
When two or more primary tumors arise at the same time, they are considered synchronous. A metachronous tumor in a new primary that develops after an initial cancer diagnosis. The diagnosis of vulvar breast cancer is primarily histopathologic, based on morphology and immunostaining. Identifying a cancer as a metastasis versus as synchronous/metachronous significantly impacts staging and treatment.

Abstract
Cutaneous metastasis at the initial presentation of ovarian carcinoma is rare. Clitoral metastasis in a gynecological malignancy can occasionally present as clitoral priapism. Clitoral priapism can be treated with oral or intramuscular alpha blockade.
