“…PRIMARY tumours of the vagina are rare and account for only 1 % or less of gynaecological malignancy (Frick et al, 1968; Gray and Christopherson, 1969;Herbst et al, 1971 ;Perez et al, 1973; Underwood and Smith, 1971). In this department during 32 years the ratio between primary vaginal tumours and cervical carcinoma has been 1 to 36 (99 of 3468).…”

Summary A retrospective study is presented of 99 patients with a diagnosis of primary tumour of the vagina who were managed at the Gynaecological Oncology Department, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Gateshead, between the years 1947 and 1979. The lesions have been staged according to the FIGO system. The corrected five year survival rates for patients given definitive treatment were: stage I, 71 % (10 of 14), stage II, 29 % (10 of 34), stage III, 25 % (2 of 8), stage IV, 22 % (2 of 9). The overall corrected five year survival rate when definitive treatment was given was 37 % (24 of 65).

“…In this case, the diagnosis was made by a women’s health provider at Planned Parenthood after one year of post-coital bleeding. However, 14% percent of vaginal carcinoma cases reported no symptoms and were diagnosed incidentally on routine pap smear and pelvic examination ( Underwood and Smith, 1971 ). Therefore, primary care providers, pediatricians, general obstetricians and gynecologists, and other women’s healthcare providers are encouraged to perform annual well woman visits with a thorough patient history and pelvic examination.…”

Diagnosis of primary vaginal carcinoma is rare because most lesions are secondary. Vaginal carcinoma is common in the post-menopausal group; however, an increasing incidence among younger women is reported, especially in HIV prevalent areas. A suspicious case should be confirmed histologically with a biopsy. Treatment should be individualised depending on the stage of the disease. Here, we are presenting a case of advanced vaginal carcinoma in a young woman.
