Primary cancer of the vagina is a rare entity, comprising only 1–2% of all gynecologic malignancies. Infection of human papillomavirus, immunocompromised condition, and chronic irritation of the vagina by prolonged pessary usage are known to contribute to the development of vaginal cancer. We experienced a rare case of vaginal cancer that occurred after usage of a vaginal pessary while the patient was prescribed with oral prednisolone for idiopathic interstitial pneumonia. Previous reports of vaginal cancer that occurred after pessary usage are mostly neglected pessaries, but in this case the patient was managed properly. We suspect that her immunocompromised condition, as well as her pessary usage, may have accelerated the development of vaginal cancer. The presence of multiple risk factors could be related to the pathogenesis of vaginal cancer, and therefore proper management is required after pessary insertion for uterine prolapse treatment.
