Primary malignant melanoma of the vagina are believed to arise from melanocytes whichmay be present in the epithelium of the vagina.These tumors are very rare and comprise less than 0.5% of all vaginal malignancies, which are the worst prognosis compared to other malignant vaginal neoplasms. We present a case of primary malignant melanoma of the vagina with brief review ofliterature.

Screening by Test Pap smear is a preventative method and the best way for early detection for cancer, currently. After the Conference organized in May 2001, the gynaecologic cancers agreed with Bethesda system and give out the guidelines to clinical treatments: sample quality, common classification, results, automatic and depended tests, training and suggestion. Cervical cancer is an important healthy issuse which need to be screening because of its regular characteristics and have an effective treatment methods in the first early period, in the long-term preclinical period and can be able to detect. Using test Pap smear has quickly screen result, less invasive procedures, low cost and can be accepted widely

The vagina is an infrequent site of primary sarcomas, which are less than 2% of all malignant vaginal neoplasm. The most common malignant mesenchymal tumor of the vagina is rhabdomyosarcoma, but leiomyosarcoma is rare type tumor of the vagina. Microscopically, spinle cells with pleomorphic nuclei and mitotic figures were frequently noted, but cross-striations were not found in the tissue. Alpha-smooth muscle actin and desmin were positive, but sarcomeric actin was negative in the tumor cells. The authors report a case of primary leiomyosarcoma of the vagina with brief literature review.

Leiomyosarcomas comprise fewer than 2% of all malignant vaginal neoplasms. Due to their rarity, treatment for vaginal leiomyosarcomas have not been determined. We describe a 66 year old woman with vaginal leiomyosarcoma, which presented as a large palpable mass with vaginal spotting. Complete surgical excision was accomplished and after surgery, she underwent radiation therapy. Tumor recurrence was not detected for the last 5 years and now her general condition is very good. This is a rare case of leiomyosarcoma arising in vagina and we report the results of successful treatment.
