A Rare Case of Vaginal Leiomyosarcoma

Primary malignant tumors of the vagina are extremely rare, accounting for only about 2% of all gynecologic malignancies. About 140 Leiomyosarcoma in the vagina have been reported during the past 40 years [1]. There are no guidelines or standards established for the treatment of this disease. Vaginal Leiomyosarcoma usually originates from the smooth muscle tissue of the posterior vaginal wall, but they may also develop from smooth muscle cells in tissues near the vagina. This disease is diagnosed only histopatho logically.
