Per vaginal examination revealed an exophytic growth arising from vault. Histopathological examination of the vault biopsy showed malignant neoplasm with features suggestive of carcinosarcoma of vault with immunohistochemistry showing stromal cells positive for CD10 and negative for SMA. Ki67 index was 40%-50%. She received external beam radiotherapy to pelvis 50.4 Gy/25 fractions but did not respond to the same. The lesion was not surgically resectable and hence referred to the division of medical oncology for chemotherapy. She was started on ifosphamide with cisplatin with growth factor support. It was planned to do a reassessment after 3 cycles of chemotherapy, but patient succumbed to the illness.展开更多
