Vaginal leiomyoma in a goat expressing the nuclear progesterone receptor (PGR): a case report.

BACKGROUND: The risk of developing tumorous diseases in the genital tract also increases with age in animals. One of the classified tumor types is genital leiomyoma. Presently, our understanding of the pathogenesis of this tumor in goats is, however, limited. This accounts also for the information regarding the presence of steroid hormone receptors and, thus, possible responsiveness to circulating steroids. CASE PRESENTATION: This study describes the case of a vaginal tumor in a seven-year-old Anglo-Nubian goat. The goat was presented due to blood mixed vaginal discharge. Per vaginal examination a singular pedunculated mass in the dorsum of the vagina measuring approximately 3 cm x 4 cm x 4 cm was revealed. After administering epidural anesthesia, the mass was removed electrothermally. There were no postoperative complications. The histopathological examination identified the mass as a leiomyoma. The immunohistochemical examination revealed the presence of the nuclear progesterone receptor (PGR) in the tumor tissue. One year after the surgery, during the follow-up examination, the goat was in good overall health, and the owners had not observed any recurrence of vaginal discharge. CONCLUSIONS: When observing vaginal discharge in goats, it is important to consider the possibility of genital tract tumors. These tumors may express sex steroid receptors. In the future, it is worth considering the investigation of potential approaches for preventing tumorigenesis or treating the tumor, such as castration or the administration of antiprogestogens.

Primary Vaginal Mucinous Adenocarcinoma of Intestinal Type-Clinical, Radiological and Morphological Aspects.

Background and Objectives: Neoplasms of the vagina are rare and account for 1-2% of all tumors of the female reproductive system. Primary neoplasms of the vagina are most often carcinomas originating from squamous or glandular epithelium. Of the primary glandular tumors, clear cell, endometrioid, and serous adenocarcinomas are the most common types, while mucinous and mesonephric types are very rare. Mucinous adenocarcinoma is histologically subclassified into endocervical and intestinal types. We add to the existing literature another case of an extremely rare gynecological neoplasm-primary vaginal mucinous adenocarcinoma (PVMAC) intestinal type associated with vaginal villous adenoma with high-grade dysplasia. We discuss the clinical, radiological and morphological features of this rare entity. Materials and Methods: We report a case of a 59-year-old woman with PVMAC intestinal type associated with vaginal villous adenoma with high-grade dysplasia. The patient was evaluated with a gynecological exam, and biopsy, curettage and tumor excision were performed. The positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) scan, at the level of the pelvis, supported the primary location of the disease. Histological and immunohistochemical methods were applied. Results: The gynecological examination of the vagina revealed an exophytic polypoid mass with a diameter of 3 cm, located on the posterior wall, in the area of introitus vaginae. The PET/CT scan revealed a hypermetabolic malignant formation involving the vagina and anal canal, without evidence of pelvic and inguinal lymphadenopathy, and also, it excluded disease at sites other than the vagina. The histological and immunohistochemical investigations, as well as the clinical and radiological data, lent support to the diagnosis "primary vaginal mucinous adenocarcinoma intestinal type". Conclusions: PVMAC intestinal type is a rare gynecological pathology, which presents a serious challenge for oncogynecologists, radiologists and pathologists.

Cervical clear cell carcinoma: Case report and literature review.

RATIONALE: Clear cell carcinoma (CCC) is a highly invasive malignant tumor. CCCs of the female reproductive system occur mostly in the endometrium and ovaries and rarely in the cervix. So, it is difficult to diagnose cervical clear cell carcinoma (CCAC) on imaging. This report helps to further deepen our understanding of CCAC. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 39-year-old female patient presented with vaginal discharge with no obvious cause, elevated levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), CA125, CA153, and squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC), and underwent ultrasonography (US) CT and MRI examination in our hospital, which showed a mass in the cervix of the uterus, considered of cervical squamous carcinoma. DIAGNOSES: The cervix biopsy guided by vaginoscope biopsy and immunohistochemistry confirmed CCAC, combined Magnetic Resonance Imaging examination, CCAC with pelvic lymph node metastasis was considered. INTERVENTIONS AND OUTCOMES: The patient refused further treatment and was discharged from hospital. LESSONS: CCAC exhibited no specific symptoms, and is slightly different from cervical squamous carcinoma in image features, mainly relying on immunohistochemistry for diagnosis. The reported case raised awareness of CCAC.

The risk of vaginal, vulvar and anal precancer and cancer according to high-risk HPV status in cervical cytology samples.

High-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) is the cause of virtually all cervical cancers, most vaginal and anal cancers, and some vulvar cancer cases. With HPV testing becoming the primary screening method for cervical cancer, understanding the link between cervical hrHPV infection and the risk of other anogenital cancers is crucial. We assessed the risk of vulvar, vaginal and anal cancer and precancer (VIN2+, VaIN2+ and AIN2+) in a prospective cohort study including 455,349 women who underwent cervical hrHPV testing in Denmark from 2005 to 2020. We employed Cox proportional hazard models, adjusting for age, calendar year and HPV vaccination status, and estimated hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). We used the Aalen Johansen estimator to calculate the absolute risks of VIN2+, VaIN2+ and AIN2+. In total, 15% of the women were hrHPV positive at baseline. A positive cervical hrHPV test was associated with increased incidence of vulvar, vaginal and anal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Five-year risk estimates of VIN2+, VaIN2+ and AIN2+ among hrHPV-positive women (0.45%, 0.14% and 0.12%) were higher than among hrHPV-negative women (0.14%, 0.01% and 0.05%). Particularly high risk was observed among the hrHPV-positive women of the oldest age, with a history of anogenital precancer and those not HPV vaccinated. In conclusion, our study confirms the association between cervical hrHPV infection and non-cervical anogenital precancers and cancers. Currently, no established risk threshold or guidelines for follow-up. As HPV testing becomes the primary method for cervical cancer screening, future data will help define high-risk groups and acceptable risk thresholds.

Neovagina creation methods in Müllerian anomalies and risk of malignancy: insights from a systematic review.

PURPOSE: This systematic review aims to provide a data synthesis about the risk of neovaginal cancer in women with Müllerian anomalies and to investigate the association between the adopted reconstructive technique and the cancer histotype. METHODS: PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov and Web of Science databases were searched from inception to March 1st, 2023. Studies were included if: (1) only women affected by Müllerian malformations were included, (2) the congenital defect and the vaginoplasty technique were clearly reported, (3) the type of malignancy was specified. RESULTS: Literature search yielded 18 cases of squamous cell carcinoma and two cases of vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia 3 (VAIN 3). Of these, 3 had been operated on according to the Wharton technique, 8 according to the McIndoe technique, 3 with a split-skin graft vaginoplasty, 2 according to the Davydov technique, 2 with a simple cleavage technique, 1 according to the Vecchietti technique and 1 with a bladder flap vaginoplasty. A total of 17 cases of adenocarcinoma and 1 case of high-grade polypoid dysplasia were also described. Of these, 15 had undergone intestinal vaginoplasty, 1 had been operated on according to the McIndoe technique and 1 had undergone non-surgical vaginoplasty. Finally, 1 case of verrucous carcinoma in a woman who had undergone a split-skin graft vaginoplasty, was reported. CONCLUSION: Although rare, neovaginal carcinoma is a definite risk after vaginal reconstruction, regardless of the adopted technique. Gynaecologic visits including the speculum examination, the HPV DNA and/or the Pap smear tests should be scheduled on an annual basis.

Mullerian Polyp of the Vagina: Report of Three Cases of a Previously Undescribed Lesion With Discussion of the Differential Diagnosis.

Benign and malignant neoplasms of the vagina are rare. We report 3 primary vaginal polypoid lesions involving the upper or mid-vagina in patients aged 40, 60, and 67 years. The lesions bore a striking morphologic resemblance to benign endocervical or endometrial polyps and we suggest the designation Mullerian polyp of the vagina. As far as we are aware, similar cases have not been reported previously in the literature. Follow-up ranging from 6 to 21 months has been uneventful. In reporting these cases, we discuss the possible origin and differential diagnosis and review vaginal lesions with a benign glandular component.

Clinical Characteristics and Detection Sensitivity of Cervical Cancer Screening in Vaginal Intraepithelial Neoplasia.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the characteristics and screening history of vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VaIN) or vaginal cancer and compare the sensitivity of cytology and human papillomavirus (HPV) tests on the cervix against vaginal and cervical high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion or cancer. METHODS: This study included patients who underwent colposcopy-directed biopsy and were diagnosed with VaIN or vaginal cancer from February 2013 to November 2022. Clinical information was obtained from the medical records of the department. Statistical analysis was performed on SPSS 26.0 (IBM Corp, Armonk, NY) using t test, chi-square, and Fisher exact tests. RESULTS: A total of 1,166 patients were included in this study. The median age of VaIN2+ patients was 50.5 years, whereas VaIN1 reported a median age of 42.1 years old, p < .001. This study reported that VaIN was significantly and positively correlated with cervical lesions (r = 0.244). The high-risk HPV (hr-HPV) detection rate was 88.2% (858/973) in VaIN and 95.2% in VaIN2+. Human papillomavirus 16 was the most prevalent HPV type in VaIN2+, which accounted for 54.9%, followed by HPV58 (19.5%), HPV52 (15.2%), HPV51 (12.2%), and HPV18 (11.0%). The sensitivity of hr-HPV and cytology tests on the cervix for detecting VaIN2+ was 94.7% and 83.4%, respectively. Both tests were not significantly different from detecting cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2+. CONCLUSIONS: Human papillomavirus 16 is the dominant HPV type in vaginal precancer lesions. Cervical cancer screening has similar sensitivity for VaIN2+ as for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2+, with hr-HPV testing showing higher sensitivity than cytology.

Treatment of primary vaginal malignant melanoma and review of previous literature: A case report.

INTRODUCTION: Primary vaginal malignant melanoma is a rare gynecological malignant tumor with high malignancy and poor prognosis. Because of its insidious incidence, it is generally diagnosed in the late stage, and the 5-year survival rate is only 5% to 25%. Due to the rarity of this disease and the limited number of related cases reported in the literature, there is currently no unified standard for its diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, the treatment of this disease has always been a difficult problem in clinical practice. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 56-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with discomfort in the lower abdomen. DIAGNOSIS: The final diagnosis of this patient was vaginal malignant melanoma (T4N1M0). INTERVENTIONS: The patient underwent extensive hysterectomy, bilateral adnexectomy, pelvic lymph node resection, and total vaginectomy. Following the surgery, the patient received adjuvant chemotherapy. OUTCOMES: The patient was followed up regularly. No recurrence or metastasis has been reported to date. CONCLUSION: The treatment of primary vaginal malignant melanoma is still dominated by surgery, while radiotherapy and chemotherapy are controversial. Immunotherapy and targeted therapy highlight certain advantages in advanced patients, which still need to be verified by large sample studies, We provide a case of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for vaginal malignant melanoma. So far, no signs of disease recurrence have been found. As the price of chemotherapy drugs decreases, it is economically convenient and acceptable for most patients, but its effectiveness needs to be observed in large-scale clinical trials.

Correlation Between Colposcopic Patterns and Histological Grade of Vaginal Intraepithelial Neoplasia: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

BACKGROUND/AIM: Vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VaIN) is a rare human papillomavirus (HPV)- related premalignant condition. VaIN lesions are diagnosed histologically through colposcopy-guided biopsies of suspicious areas, conduced by gynecologists with expertise in lower genital tract diseases. The present study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of colposcopy in the diagnosis of VaIN of any grade. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis on a cohort of 149 women diagnosed with low grade (LG)-VaIN (VaIN1) and high grade (HG)-VaIN (VaIN2-3) between 2010 and 2022 at the "Regional Referral Center for Prevention, Diagnosis and Treatment of HPV-related Genital Disorders", Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico, Milan, Italy. All women had been referred to our center for an abnormal Pap smear or as part of routine follow-up of other HPV-related diseases and had undergone a vaginal biopsy under colposcopic guidance. RESULTS: The distribution of the histological grades of VaIN lesions was the following: 62 women (41.6%) were diagnosed with VaIN1, 51 (34.2%) with VaIN2, and 36 (24.2%) with VaIN3. Grade II (major) abnormal colposcopic patterns were recorded in 71 cases (47.7%) and were more commonly observed in women with VaIN3 (80.6%). However, we found a poor and not statistically significant association between colposcopic and histological grade of VaIN. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of colposcopy for histologically confirmed VaIN were 56.3%, 64.5%, 69% and 51.2%, respectively. The overall diagnostic accuracy of colposcopy was 59.7%. CONCLUSION: Colposcopy-guided biopsy plays an important role in the diagnosis of VaIN and in the distinction between low and high-grade lesions. Our data show that major colposcopic abnormalities moderately correlate with HG-VaIN and that grade I colposcopic findings do not exclude HG-VaIN, especially VaIN2. Targeted biopsies of suspicious vaginal areas must be performed in all women with an abnormal Pap smear.

Endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the rectovaginal septum: A case report. / é˜´é“ç›´è‚ éš”å­å®«å† è†œæ ·è ºç™Œ1例.

Primary endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the rectovaginal septum is rare. Its pathogenesis is not clear and there is no standard treatment. One patient with endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the rectovaginal septum arising from deep infiltrative endometriosis was admitted to Qingdao Municipal Hospital. The patient presented with incessant menstruation and abdominal distension. She had bilateral ovarian endometriotic cystectomy 6 years ago. Imaging findings suggested a pelvic mass which might invade the rectovaginal septum. Pathological results of primary surgery confirmed endometrioid carcinoma of the pelvic mass arising from the rectovaginal septum. Then she had a comprehensive staged surgery. Postoperative chemotherapy was given 6 times. No recurrence or metastasis was found during the 2-year follow-up. The possibility of deep infiltrating endometriosis and its malignant transformation should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a new extragonadal pelvic lesion in a patient with a history of endometriosis, which would avoid misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.

Clinicopathological demographics of malignant melanomas of the vulva and vagina in Japan.

Malignant vulvar melanoma (VuM) and vaginal melanoma (VaM) represent a unique subgroup of rare malignant melanomas with critical biological properties that differ from other cancers. In Japan, adequate surveys have yet to be conducted. This study aimed to elucidate the clinicopathological demographics and outcomes of VuM and VaM in Japan. This retrospective observational study included women with invasive VuM or VaM identified from older medical records in Japan. We collected clinical data and used the Kaplan-Meier method to analyze progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Univariate and multivariate regression models were used to identify factors significantly related to survival. We identified 217 patients, 109 (50.2%) with VuM and 108 (49.8%) with VaM. The median PFS was 16.8 months in patients with VuM [95% confidence interval (CI), 23.1-87.7] and 15.6 months in those with VaM (95% CI, 8.4-12.6). The median OS was 43.9 months (95% CI, 60-138) and 31.1 months (95% CI, 24.8-45.3) in patients with VuM and VaM, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that a disease stage higher than stage III, based on the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) guidelines, was associated with poorer PFS [hazard ratio (HR), 2.063; 95% CI, 0.995-4.278] and an unknown surgical margin was the only independent factor influencing OS (HR, 2.188; 95% CI, 1.203-3.977). The overall outcomes of invasive VuM and VaM in Japan remain poor. AJCC staging and surgical margins were significant predictors of survival.

Non-Excisional therapeutic modalities in vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia.

Vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia is an uncommon Human Papilloma Virus-related premalignant lesion of the lower genital tract. There is still no consensus regarding its management. Therapeutic modalities include observation, laser ablation, topical agents, radiation and surgical approach. Due to the current increasing adherence to minimally invasive therapies the aim of this study is to identify and characterize non-excisional treatment modalities. Expectant management is the first therapeutical option in low-grade lesions management. Up to 81% of lesions through an expectant approach regressed spontaneously and most of them were low-grade lesions. In contrast, high-grade lesions, due to its higher potential to invasion progression and low regression rate, require treatment, which should be selected depending on its characteristics and the patient's preference. Laser ablation is suitable for multifocal lesions in sexually active young women with a cure rate up to 90% and recurrence rate up to 6.3%. Brachytherapy can be 71.4%-90% efficient with a maximum of 5.8% and 20% of persistence rate and recurrence rate, respectively. However, due to its toxicity, it should be reserved for selected cases only. Topical modalities for multifocal lesions, such as Imiquimod 5% and 5-Flouorouracil, have a good therapeutic effect, low pharmacological morbidity, and 25%-98% cure rate, 11.1%-75% persistence rate and 5.6%-94.4% recurrence rate.

The European Society of Gynaecological Oncology (ESGO), the International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Disease (ISSVD), the European College for the Study of Vulval Disease (ECSVD), and the European Federation for Colposcopy (EFC) consensus statement on the management of vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia.

The European Society of Gynaecological Oncology (ESGO), the International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Disease (ISSVD), the European College for the Study of Vulval Disease (ECSVD), and the European Federation for Colposcopy (EFC) developed consensus statements on pre-invasive vulvar lesions in order to improve the quality of care for patients with vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VaIN). The management of VaIN varies according to the grade of the lesion: VaIN 1 (low grade vaginal squamous intraepithelial lesions (SIL)) can be subjected to follow-up, while VaIN 2-3 (high-grade vaginal SIL) should be treated. Treatment needs individualization according to the patient's characteristics, disease extension and previous therapeutic procedures. Surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment and should be performed if invasion cannot be excluded. Total vaginectomy is used only in highly selected cases of extensive and persistent disease. Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser may be used as both an ablation method and an excisional one. Reported cure rates after laser excision and laser ablation are similar. Topical agents are useful for persistent, multifocal lesions or for patients who cannot undergo surgical treatment. Imiquimod was associated with the lowest recurrence rate, highest human papillomavirus (HPV) clearance, and can be considered the best topical approach. Trichloroacetic acid and 5-fluorouracil are historical options and should be discouraged. For VaIN after hysterectomy for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 3, laser vaporization and topical agents are not the best options, since they cannot reach epithelium buried in the vaginal scar. In these cases surgical options are preferable. Brachytherapy has a high overall success rate but due to late side effects should be reserved for poor surgical candidates, having multifocal disease, and with failed prior treatments. VaIN tends to recur and ensuring patient adherence to close follow-up visits is of the utmost importance. The first evaluation should be performed at 6 months with cytology and an HPV test during 2 years and annually thereafter. The implementation of vaccination against HPV infection is expected to contribute to the prevention of VaIN and thus cancer of the vagina. The effects of treatment can have an impact on quality of life and result in psychological and psychosexual issues which should be addressed. Patients with VaIN need clear and up-to-date information on a range of treatment options including risks and benefits, as well as the need for follow-up and the risk of recurrence.

Trends in incidence of invasive vaginal cancer in France from 1990 to 2018 and survival of recently diagnosed women - A population-based study.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to analyze trends in the incidence of vaginal cancer in France over a 28-year period and to present survival for recently-diagnosed women. METHODS: French cancer registries provided data on invasive vaginal cancers diagnosed from 1990 to 2015 and followed up through June 2018. Trends in incidence were analyzed using a Poisson model with a bidimensional penalized spline of age and year at diagnosis. Net survival analysis was restricted to recently-diagnosed cases (2010-2015) and used a novel approach based on a bidimensional penalized spline of age and time-since-diagnosis to model excess mortality hazard. RESULTS: With 162 new cases estimated in France in 2018, vaginal cancer represented 0.9 % of genital cancers in French women. In 2018, the world population age-standardized incidence rate was 0.2 per 100,000 person-years, median age at diagnosis was 75 years. The standardized incidence rate decreased significantly by 3 % per year (95 % CI, -3.8; -2.2) between 1990 and 2018 (0.4 cases per 100,000 person-year in 1990, vs 0.2 in 2018). Age-standardized net survival at 1 and 5 years after diagnosis was respectively 74 % and 45 %. CONCLUSIONS: This study confirms that vaginal cancer is still a rare malignancy in France with 5-year net survival that remains low. We observed a consistent decrease in the incidence rate between 1990 and 2018. It may be too early to attribute these trends to a positive impact of vaccination campaigns against hrHPV infection, since vaginal cancer mainly affects older women and HPV vaccination has only been available since the early 2000s, and only targets young girls.

Primary HPV-Associated Enteric-Type Adenocarcinoma of Vagina: A Case Report.

Primary enteric type adenocarcinomas of the vagina are extremely rare. We present a 63-year-old woman who had a polypoid mass localized to the distal vagina. The lesion was composed of a columnar glandular cell proliferation with focal cribriforming, reminiscent of tubular adenoma. Immunohistochemical stains were notable for expression of enteric markers (CDX2 and KRT20), as well as negativity for Mullerian markers (PAX8, ER, and PR), diffuse expression for p16, and positivity for high-risk HPV mRNA expression. Ultimately, a diagnosis of vaginal primary HPV-associated enteric type adenocarcinoma was rendered for this unusual lesion. To our knowledge, no prior cases of HPV-associated enteric type adenocarcinomas of the vagina have been described before.

Different clinico-pathological and prognostic features of vulvar, vaginal, and cervical melanomas.

Female genital tract melanoma (FGTM) is a rare and aggressive melanocytic malignancy, and its clinico-pathological and prognostic features at different anatomic sites have not yet been fully described. We retrospectively analyzed and compared the clinico-pathological data and survival outcomes of patients with primary lower genital tract melanoma enrolled between January 2005 and December 2020. We identified 95 patients with FGTM, of whom 46 had vulvar melanomas (VuM), 43 had vaginal melanomas (VaM), and six had cervical melanomas (CM). The clinical characteristics of all 95 cases, including symptoms, single or multiple primary lesions, clinical stage, surgery, and histopathological characteristics of 62 primary untreated cases, including pigmentation, predominant cytology, histological pattern, mitotic figures, and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes of VuM, VaM, and CM, differed significantly. In comparison, only trend differences in molecular alternations were evident (p = 0.077). Disease-specific survival (DSS) was 30.7% at 5 years (46.5%, 25.6%, and 44.4% for VuM, VaM and CM, respectively). Seventy-one (85.5%) patients experienced FGTM recurrence. The median time to the first recurrence was 11 months, and VaM recurred earlier than VM and CM (16, 6, and 10 months for VuM, VaM, and CM, respectively, p = 0.038). A univariate analysis of 50 cases revealed the negative factors of disease-specific survival (DSS), including the location of the vagina and the presence of ulceration, and the negative factors of recurrence-free survival (RFS), including multiple lesions, the presence of ulceration, and the presence of lymphovascular invasion. Multiple lesions showed a borderline correlation with DSS. A multivariate Cox regression analyses of 50 cases revealed that the presence of ulceration was associated with shorter DSS and RFS (yes vs. no, Hazard Ratio = 2.400 and 2.716, respectively). Vaginal location showed a significant correlation with DSS (Hazard Ratio = 2.750, p = 0.024). In conclusion, vulval, vaginal, and cervical melanomas may differ in terms of their clinico-pathological features and associations with DSS and RFS. Ulceration and vaginal location were significantly associated with shorter DSS, and ulceration was associated with an increased risk of FGTM recurrence.
