Distant metastasis occasionally occurs in patients who have been diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC), but it occurs in a few patients with stage I CRC. The vagina as a metastasis site has also been reported, albeit rarely. Most reported cases of vaginal metastasis (VM) report their origin from advanced CRC. We encountered a patient who was diagnosed with isolated VM originating from stage I colon cancer (T2N0) and herein present the case of this patient.
