Presentation
We present the tenth case of vaginal Ewing sarcoma and the fourth to be confirmed by molecular studies. [squ.pure.elsevier.com]
Although rare, Ewing sarcoma can present as a vaginal mass. Extraosseous Ewing sarcoma can present as a vaginal mass. [journals.lww.com]
She succumbed to metastatic disease 22 months after the initial presentation. [annsaudimed.net]
CASE: A 34-year-old woman presented with a painful 3-cm left vulvar-vaginal mass, which was excised and determined to be a sarcoma with positive surgical margins. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Vaginal Discharge
Vaginal discharge About 10% of women with uterine sarcomas have a vaginal discharge that does not have any visible blood. A discharge is most often a sign of infection or another non-cancer condition, but it also can be a sign of cancer. [cancer.org]

Workup
For staging workup, CT- chest was done in the cancer institute. CT -chest was normal. Rhabdomyosarcoma was ruled out as Desmin was negative. [jemds.com]

Future technologic advances will expand the number of malignancies for which these treatment approaches can be used. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The following are treatment options for sarcoma of the vagina. Your healthcare team will suggest treatments based on your needs and work with you to develop a treatment plan. Surgery You may be offered surgery for sarcoma of the vagina. [cancer.ca]
The complications are dependent upon the stage of the cancer and may also include complications related to treatment Treatment for Undifferentiated Sarcoma of Vagina is mainly through surgery and other supplementary treatment measures. [dovemed.com]
However, the treatment options evidence a lack of high-quality data and there are no randomized trials defining the treatment for vaginal cancer, given its rarity. 4 6 Instead, the treatment management is extrapolated from cervical or anal cancers and [scielo.br]

Vaginal cancer is closely related to vulvar cancer in terms of etiology and histology, but it occurs inside the vagina (typically the posterior third of the vaginal wall), rather than the vulva. [amboss.com]
