Case Report - True vaginal metastasis of rectal cancer
Yagci G, Cetiner S, Dede M, Gunhan O
Abstract
Vaginal metastasis from colonic cancer is an extreme case and often indicates a poor prognosis. More frequently tumor cells from the colonic lesions spread out to vagina by direct contiguous way. We present a case of rectal carcinoma with true metastasis to the vagina that was discovered after an interval of 15 mounts when vaginal bleeding and discharge became evident. To our knowledge, there are only a few other papers in the English language previously documenting this phenomenon.
Keywords
