[A case of vaginal metastasis of transitional cell carcinoma].
A 74-year-old female with a complaint of genital bleeding was referred to our hospital. In her past history, 4 times of transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TUR-BT) for bladder cancers and right nephroureterectomy with cuff for right ureteral tumors were performed during these 17 years, followed by simple cystectomy 3 years before. A punch biopsy of anterior vaginal wall demonstrated metastases of transitional cell carcinoma. Although total histero-vaginectomy was performed, recurrence of disease was observed in bone, skin and inguinal lymph nodes 9 months after the operation. This case is the 13th report of vaginal metastases of transitional cell carcinoma in the world.
