Abstract
RATIONALE
Primary vaginal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare disease. Primary SCC in prolapsed vagina is extremely rare. In the presented case additional bladder involvement was found.
PATIENTS CONCERNS
Primary vaginal SCC may be misinterpreted as decubitus in prolapsed vagina and it may delay proper diagnosis and treatment.
DIAGNOSES
Diagnosis was confirmed by the vaginal ulceration biopsy and cystoscopic biopsy of the involved bladder.
INTERVENTIONS
In the case presented percutaneous nephrostomy was the only possible treatment of hydronephrosis.
OUTCOMES
In advanced primary SCC (Figo IVA) with nodal involvement palliative treatment is only option.
LESSONS
Primary SCC mimicking decubitus which appeared in prolapsed vagina, may be accompanied by bladder involvement.
