Abstract: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.
