| Core Tip |
Vaginal metastasis (VM) from colorectal cancer is rare. To our knowledge, this is the first case of VM from stage I colorectal cancer to be reported in English. Although the prognosis of VM is considered dismal, it seems to be favorable when it occurs isolated, without other metastases. The standard treatment has not yet been established because of rarity. The treatment needs to be established individually, and multidisciplinary teams can be helpful. Most patients with VM complain about gynecologic symptoms such as vaginal bleeding, so it should not be overlooked even in patient with stage I colorectal cancer. |
