On vaginal examination, a great deal of the vaginal wall was found prolapsed, owing to the great intrapelvic pressure of the tumour. The uterine body was completely merged into the tumour and only the tip of the cervix could be felt very high up behind the pubis. The tumour completely filled the whole pelvis and part of the vagina?so that no other information could be elicited by vaginal examin...

Malignant mixed Mullerian tumour is a rare gynaecological tumour commonly presenting with vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain or mass in the uterine cavity, cervix or vagina. The neoplasms are commonly seen in postmenopausal women although it has been observed in younger women.

A 68 year old postmenopausal lady was referred for vaginoscopy of a vaginal lesion. The lesions were violaceous in colour, maculopapular and friable with a maximum diameter of 20 mm. Histological biopsy showed malignant melanoma cells with strongly positive Melanin A staining and brisk mitotic activity. Cells with prominent red nucleoli with eosinophilic cytoplasm were noted. A radical vulvecto...

Vaginal leiomyoma is a rare solid tumour with a variable presentation that can lead to pre-operative misdiagnosis. Local recurrence and transformation into sarcoma are also rare and surgical excision is recommended. Here, we present the case of a 23-year-old woman with a painless vaginal mass associated with severe dyspareunia since marriage (2 months ago) and dysmenorrhoea. She underwent surge...

Objectives: 1) To study the feasibility of performing and outcome of vaginal hysterectomy in uteri without any descent and associated with benign ovarian tumour. 2) To compare the outcome of vaginal hysterectomy over hysterectomy performed through abdominal route and laparoscopically. Methodology: Three hundred (300) patients requiring pan hysterectomy for benign ovarian tumours were studied wi...

Cellular Angiofibroma (CA) represents a quite recently described mesenchymal tumour that occurs in both genders, in particular in the vulvo-vaginal region in women and in the inguino-scrotal area in men. The first description of this tumour dates from Nucci et al. article in 1997; since then, the literature reports different reviews and case report of this tumour in both genders, but no article...

The successful surgical removal of a feminizing adrenal tumour in a postmenopausal woman is described. Most of these tumours are malignant and the pathological findings and the biological behaviour of the tumour frequently do not correlate, so that a careful follow-up is necessary. In the presence of vaginal bleeding in a postmenopausal woman endometrial carcinoma should be considered. If this ...
