A 34-year-old patient with advanced primary squamocellular vaginal carcinoma was treated with external radiation (4000 cGy to the pelvis) and a line source Cesium application delivering 4000 cGy to the vaginal wall. During this treatment the patient developed a lesion on her back that proved to be a metastasis of a squamocellular cancer. The patient was started on six courses of cisplatin as a single agent. After the fourth course a complete remission was reached lasting for 4 months. By that time the metastasis recurred and was surgically excised. Sixteen months after diagnosis and 9 months after chemotherapeutic treatment there is no evidence of disease.
