  ABSTRACT: Pure ovarian choriocarcinomas are extremely rare and aggressive tumors which are gestational or non-gestational in origin. Due to the rarity of the tumor, there is a lack of information on the clinicopathologic features, diagnosis, and treatment. We report a case of a pure ovarian choriocarcinoma, likely of non-gestational origin, treated by cytoreductive surgery in combination with post-operative chemotherapy. The patient was free of disease after a 12-month follow-up.

  ABSTRACT: Primary vaginal carcinoma is a rare gynecologic cancer. Radiotherapy is the standard treatment for patients affected by International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage II vaginal cancer. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical surgery has been shown to be a valid therapeutic strategy in patients with cervical cancer; however, there is little information concerning the feasibility of neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical surgery in patients with invasive vaginal carcinoma. We report the first case of stage II vaginal carcinoma with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical surgery combined with vaginal reconstruction using bilateral pudendal thigh fasciocutaneous flaps. The patient was free of disease with a satisfactory sexual life after 30 months.
