We report a case of a 70-year-old man, with a status after aortic valve replacement, who presented with melena and hypotension. On physical examination, he was hypotensive, but he responded to resuscitation. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed a submucosal mass in the gastric fundus. Imaging of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis showed no evidence of local or distant metastasis. He underwent a partial diaphragmatic resection, gastrectomy, lymphadenectomy, and Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy. Pathology showed a gastric squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) invading the diaphragm, with negative margins of resection, and one positive perigastric lymph node. He received chemoradiation, but the patient expired 27 months after surgery.

Vaginal carcinoma is an uncommon malignancy and one of the few gynecologic malignancies that is still clinically staged. Clinical staging, which can be difficult in some instances, is potentially inaccurate, as it has been shown to be in early endometrial and ovarian carcinoma. In addition, clinical staging can result in over- or undertreatment of the disease. The lack of standardization of treatment further compounds the issue, particularly for patients with small-volume disease. We report three patients with grade 2 or 3 small-volume primary squamous cell carcinoma of the vagina who underwent pelvic lymph node sampling for staging purposes. Each patient had lesions small enough to be considered for brachytherapy only. An average of 12 lymph nodes were removed with an average operative time of 72 minutes. All procedures were performed on an outpatient basis, and there were no intraoperative or postoperative complications. In one patient, teletherapy was added to the brachytherapy because a microscopic focus of squamous cell carcinoma was discovered in an obturator lymph node. Our initial experience indicates that laparoscopic sampling of lymph nodes in patients with early vaginal carcinoma may be helpful in preventing undertreatment of these women. Individualization of treatment can be accomplished quickly and safely on an outpatient basis, and initiation of treatment is not delayed. We believe further evaluation of laparoscopic staging of primary vaginal carcinoma is indicated.
