Cutaneous metastasis in vaginal cancer is an extremely rare event and no cases of cutaneous metastasis from primary vaginal adenocarcinoma have been found. We report the clinicopathologic features, including cytopathologic findings, of the first case of cutaneous metastasis to the anterior chest wall from a sporadic-type advanced primary vaginal adenocarcinoma. Our present case suggested that cytopathologic examination should be performed as soon as possible when a patient exhibits multiple subcutaneous nodules or a painful cutaneous ulcer during treatment of advanced gynecologic cancer.
阴道癌的皮肤转移极为罕见，目前尚未发现原发性阴道腺癌发生皮肤转移的病例。我们报告了首例散发性晚期原发性阴道腺癌转移至前胸壁的皮肤转移病例的临床病理特征，包括细胞病理学检查结果。我们目前的病例提示，对于晚期妇科癌症患者，在治疗过程中出现多个皮下结节或疼痛性皮肤溃疡时，应尽快进行细胞病理学检查。
