The vagina is frequently involved by carcinoma of the cervix, endometrium, or vulva ; However, primary carcinoma of the vagina represents about 1% of all gynecologic tumors. When primary cancer does occur in the vagina, it usually is in the upper half, and it is generally epidermoid carcinoma. Clear criteria have been defined to establish the diagnosis of primary carcinoma of the vagina : 1) Primary site of growth in the vagina ; 2) The uterine cervix must be intact (Negative biopsies are preferable) ; 3) No clinical evidence of a primary tumor in other sites. A case of 24 years old woman with a primary squamous cell carcinoma of the vagina is experienced recently and is presented with a review of literature.
