Abstract

According to GLOBOCAN 2022 data, Carcinoma breast is the second most common malignancy worldwide after lung and ranks 4(th) in mortality worldwide. Breast cancer can metastasize to various organs. The incidence of vaginal metastasis in carcinoma breast is 1-2%. Here we present a patient with post menopausal bleeding with vaginal mass. She had a history of Triple negative carcinoma left breast 3 years back, treated by Modified Radical Mastectomy followed by chemo radiotherapy. Vaginal biopsy was suggestive of a metastatic carcinoma breast. MRI and PET CT showed isolated vaginal growth. Due to poor performance status and multiple medical comorbidities, decision was taken to treat her with single agent Paclitaxel 3weekly until disease progression. This case report points out the necessity for thorough gynaecological examination in a cancer survivor, either via clinical examination, routine PAP smear or imaging.
