Leiomyosarcoma of the vagina: a case report and review from the literature.
Leiomyosarcomas comprise fewer than 2% of all malignant vaginal neoplasms. Due to their rarity, treatment for vaginal leiomyosarcomas have not been determined. We describe a 66 year old woman with vaginal leiomyosarcoma, which presented as a large palpable mass with vaginal spotting. Complete surgical excision was accomplished and after surgery, she underwent radiation therapy. Tumor recurrence was not detected for the last 5 years and now her general condition is very good. This is a rare case of leiomyosarcoma arising in vagina and we report the results of successful treatment.
