[A case of primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the vagina].

A 52-year-old woman visited us complaining of a recurrent vaginal tumor, which was diagnosed histologically as malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the vagina. Computed tomography revealed multiple metastatic lesions in the liver, lymph nodes and vertebrae. The patient was treated with combination chemotherapy consisting of cyclophosphamide, adriamycin and cis-platinum, but the tumor did not yield readily to the treatment. We believe that this is the first reported case of this tumor in this location in Japan.
