Abstract
- Background: Vaginal metastasis should be kept in mind when evaluating the staging tests of all cancers, especially endometrial cancer.<br />Case Presentation: We present four patients with vaginal recurrence who recently applied to our clinic. Three cases were of endometrial cancer and one case of rectal cancer. All patients presented with vaginal bleeding.<br />Conclusion: Standard treatment for vaginal metastasis has not yet been established. Therapeutic options for vaginal metastasis-separately or in combination-are surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy.
