“…The tumor usually arises on the posterior wall of the upper third of vagina, and epidermoid carcinoma is the most common histological type observed [3,4,5,6]. Until recently, approximately 10 cases were reported on primary vaginal cancer complicated by uterine prolapse [4,6,7,8,9](table 1). It is usually squamous carcinoma and occurs in the upper third of vagina.…”

Primary vaginal cancer is not common, representing 1-2% of all female genital malignancies. We present a case of a third-degree uterine prolapse complicated by an isolated primary vaginal cancer and its surgical treatment. The cervix was clinically normal, but on the nearby prolapsed vaginal wall, a large exogenous hard lesion had developed. A biopsy of the lesion revealed a squamous carcinoma. The patient was asymptomatic and had no recurrence during the last 4 years of follow-up after surgical treatment with radiotherapy. The surgical treatment with or without radiotherapy is the optimum treatment for uterine prolapse with early-stage vaginal squamous cell carcinoma, although the majority of vaginal malignancies are treated with radiotherapy. We recommend always performing a biopsy prior to surgery in prolapse-induced ulceration.

“…In 60% of the cases, the patients show symptoms for 10 years or more, prior to diagnosis [8]. Constant mechanical irritation caused by the uterine prolapse is one presumed risk factor.…”

“…When this occurs, most patients are in the 60 to 80-year age group and procidentia has been present for 10 years or more in 60% of cases 2. It has long been established clinically that the prolapsed uterus, although exposed to constant mechanical irritation, is remarkably free from the risk of cancer.…”

Although uterine prolapse and carcinoma of the uterine cervix are not rare events, their association is very uncommon. The treatment of cervical cancer has been protocolled, but the management of uterovaginal prolapse associated with carcinoma of the cervix is not standardised and therapy strategies vary considerably among authors. Our case reports a 74-year-old patient, admitted to the emergency department with an ulcerated prolapsed uterus. Biopsy of the cervical lesion confirmed a squamous-cell carcinoma. The patient underwent vaginal hysterectomy plus open bilateral iliopelvic lymphadenectomy complemented with radiotherapy with quimiosensibilisation. With this aggressive treatment approach, there was progression of the disease. The authors believe that this case typiaddition to the few published reports.

“…The association of this tumour with a prolapsed uterus is a rare event particularly in the developed countries (Rocker 1958;Cabaniss & Crocker 1963;Daw 1972;Wong et al 1990;Kriplani et al 1995;Yamakawa et al 1998). The association of this tumour with a prolapsed uterus is a rare event particularly in the developed countries (Rocker 1958;Cabaniss & Crocker 1963;Daw 1972;Wong et al 1990;Kriplani et al 1995;Yamakawa et al 1998).…”

“…Most patients present the disease either confined to the cervix or with limited extension beyond it. The association of this tumour with a prolapsed uterus is a rare event particularly in the developed countries (Rocker 1958;Cabaniss & Crocker 1963;Daw 1972;Wong et al 1990;Kriplani et al 1995;Yamakawa et al 1998).…”

Although uterine prolapse and carcinoma of the uterine cervix are not rare event, their association is very uncommon. An 86-year-old patient gravida 8, para 5 was admitted for vaginal bleeding from a uterine prolapse of 20 years of duration. On physical examination, a complete third-degree prolapsed uterus with an ulcerated lesion of 12 cm in maximum diameter involving both the anterior and posterior lips of the cervix was observed. Because of the poor performance status and high American Society of Anesthesiology scoring, the patient was admitted for a vaginal hysterectomy with upper vaginectomy in spinal anesthesia. However, she died of pulmonary embolism 20 days after surgery. A case of a cervical cancer with a complete uterine prolapse of 20 years of duration is reported. We believe that this case typically rare to see in a developed country might be a useful addition to the few published reports.
