AbstractMalignant germ cell tumors of the vagina represent a critical site for local treatment. We report on our experience with two vaginal endodermal sinus tumors. Treatment with PEB regimen induced both tumor regression and α fetoprotein normalization. One patient had a residual lesion that was biopsed twice and no viable tumor cells were ever found. Both patients remained alive and disease‐free, without having had surgical procedures except for biopsies. Platinum‐based chemotherapy is able to achieve complete remissions and should be considered for vaginal endodermal sinus tumors. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2007;48:577–578. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
