An anaplastic vaginal tumour was diagnosed in a 29-year-old woman. Before the planned operation leukocytosis and thrombocytopenia developed and further diagnostic tests revealed malignant histiocytosis with bone-marrow infiltration, leukaemic wash-out and tumour formation in the lower pelvis. Intensive chemotherapy, as for acute myeloid leukaemia, achieved full remission. The case demonstrates that, although rare, tumorous organ infiltration may be the initial manifestation of malignant histiocytosis. Its early diagnosis and treatment decisively affects the prognosis.
