Letter to the Editor Regarding “Perineural Spread Along Spinal and Obturator Nerves in Primary Vaginal Carcinoma: A Case Report”

We read with great interest the article by Song et  al1 describing a case of vaginal squamous cell carcinoma with perineural spread (PNS) to the obturator and lumbar spinal (i.e., L3 and L4) nerves. Vaginal cancer is rare, ranging from 1%–3% of all gynecologic cancers.2,3 Although perineural invasion in vaginal cancer has been described, PNS to m ajor nerves is unique. Like Song et al,1 we did not find a similar case in the literature. We also did not find a case of vaginal cancer with PNS at Mayo Clinic over the past 22 years (1996–2018).
