Abstract
BACKGROUND
Vaginal metastasis should be kept in mind when evaluating the staging tests of all cancers, especially endometrial cancer.
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.
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.
