We report a case of vaginal small cell (neuroendocrine) carcinoma. Immunostaining for neuron-specific enolase, PGP 9.5, chromogranin, synaptophysin, Leu 7 and cytokeratin was positive. Neurosecretory granules were found by electronmicroscopy. There was local recurrence and regional lymph node metastases. The patient survived for 10 months following local surgical therapy only.
