Thanks for your question on HCM.
Yes, that report is showing cancer spread in lymphnodes.
Metastases to lymphnodes is very common in vulval malignancy.
So this is recurrence of malignancy.
Your mother is now in stage 4 category and needs palliative treatment in the form of chemotherapy and radiotherapy .
So better to consult oncologist and discuss all these.
She may need PET scan to search for other metastatic lesions too.
She will need palliative chemotherapy mostly.
