Abstract

Primary vaginal carcinoma in uterovaginal prolapse is a rare entity. We report a case of an 84-years-old lady, who presented with long standing vaginal ulcer in association with third degree uterovaginal prolapse. Incisional biopsy was taken from the ulcer. Histopathological examination showed a large cell keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma.

Highlights

Primary vaginal carcinoma is rare and comprises only one to two percent of all gynecologic malignancies[1] with its incidence peak during the sixth decade.[2]
We present a case of an early stage of vaginal carcinoma developed in the long standing uterovaginal prolapse with review of the related literature
Primary vaginal carcinoma associated with uterovaginal prolapse is rare pathology
