Abstract
- Primary malignant lesions of the vagina represent less than 2% of all gynecologic malignancies. Primary vaginal sarcoma accounts for about 2% of all malignant vaginal lesions and the leiomyosarcoma is the most common vaginal sarcoma found in adult women. The treatment is wide resection of lesion and radiotherapy or chemotherapy, but the progress is not hopeful. We report a case of primary vaginal sarcoma metastasized to the lung. Although the primary lesion was 1.8 cm, but the patient died of metastatic lung cancer.
