Vaginal sarcomas are an exceptionally rare presentation of vaginal cancer in adults, encompassing a variety of distinct histological subtypes. Because each subtype carries its own biological behaviour, the treatment approach must be individually tailored.
This protocol applies to adult patients diagnosed with vaginal cancer of sarcomatous histology. Vaginal sarcomas in adults are very rare; a variety of sarcoma types have been reported in the literature, making expert multidisciplinary input essential.
Management is adapted to the specific histological subtype involved. Surgical intervention forms the central component of the treatment strategy, and care is coordinated within a multidisciplinary framework alongside a dedicated sarcoma team.

Vaginal sarcomas in adults are very rare; a variety of sarcoma types have been reported in the literature.
Treatment is adapted to each individual histological type with surgical resection as the mainstay of treatment.
These very rare forms of vaginal cancer should be jointly managed within a multidisciplinary setting together with a dedicated sarcoma team [V, A].
