Cellular Pseudosarcomatous Fibroepithelial Stromal Polyp of the Vagina during Pregnancy: A Lesion That Is Overdiagnosed as a Malignant Tumor
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fibroepithelial stromal polyp (FSP) is a benign lesion that can occur at various sites, including the lower female genital tract. In rare cases, however, it may exhibit hypercellularity, bizarre cytomorphological features, and atypical mitoses resulting in an overdiagnosis as a malignant tumor despite its benign clinical course. Recently, we experienced one case of a 30-year-old pregnant woman with cellular pseudosarcomatous FSP that was initially diagnosed as a malignant fibrous histiocytoma at a primary clinic. In addition to describing the rare features of this case, we wish to increase awareness about this benign lesion which will be essential for avoiding unnecessary radical surgery or chemoradiation treatment.

The fibroepithelial stromal polyp (FESP) are infrequent mesenchymal lesions of distal female genital tract found in vulvovaginal region but infrequently may also occur in the cervix [1-3]. These arise from subepithelial myxoid stroma and represent a reactive process rather than neoplastic one [3]. Many cases are seen associated with pregnancy, suggesting its association with hormones. Because o...

Introduction: Fibroepithelial stromal polyp (FESP) of the female lower genital tract is a rare benign lesion characterized by polypoid proliferation of stroma, covered by a benign squamous epithelium in the vulvovaginal region. These hormone-sensitive lesions usually occur in young to middle-aged women. The lesions are typically no larger than 5 cm in diameter and are found randomly during rout...

Pseudosarcomatous fibroepithelial stromal polyps are benign lesions exhibiting clinical dilemma with malignancy. The histological spectrum varies from hypo cellular to hyper cellular which can further add to diagnostic dilemma that is why they continue to be under recognized and are often mis interpretated as malignancy. Awareness of the spectrum of histological feature that these lesions exhib...

AIMS To study the nature of fibroepithelial polyps of the vagina. METHODS Sixty five fibroepithelial polyps of the vagina and 64 granulation tissue polyps diagnosed over 15 years were reviewed histologically. RESULTS Cytologically benign multinucleated stromal cells were present in large numbers in 19 of the fibroepithelial polyps of the vagina (FEPV). Only one polyp contained atypical stro...
