title: [Leiomyosarcoma of the vagina: a rare case].
abstract: Vaginal leiomyosarcoma is unfrequent. We report on a case in a 50-year-old multipara patient who had presented a posterior vaginal swelling since 6 months. The tumor was discovered at the occasion of pains and non hemorragic discharge. The histological pattern of the tumor was well-differentiated spindle cell sarcoma with pleiomorphic areas. The immunohistochemistry confirmed the smooth myogenic differentiation. The treatment consisted of posterior pelvic exenteration extended to the vagina. The patient is alive and free of disease at 20 months of fellow-up.
