Abstract
A first case of angiosarcoma of the vagina is described. Review of medical literature fails to show any documented cases of primary angiosarcoma of the vagina. Because of its rarity, no definite treatment could be suggested. The guideline for the management of this disease can only be drawn from several previously reported angiosarcomas of the uterus, cervix, and pelvis. It is recommended that a combined form of external irradiation and intracavitary brachytherapy be used after removal of the tumor.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
