Symptomatic vaginal bleeding in a postmenopausal woman: a case report of pancreatic adenocarcinoma metastasizing exclusively to the vagina.

Most cases represent metastases from other pelvic organs or the colon. We present the second case in the literature of a pancreatic adenocarcinoma metastasizing exclusively to the vagina.
