The case of a 26‐year‐old woman with a history of sarcoma botryoides of the vagina treated by radiation therapy at the age of 13 months is presented. The patient is free from local tumor recurrence or distant metastases. As a result of pelvic irradiation during her infancy, she has hypoplastic external genitalia, hypofunction of the ovaries, and infantile vagina and uterus. She has, however, normal urinary and bowel function.
