OBJECTIVE: To describe the presentation and clinical course of two patients after development of vaginal agglutination associated with chronic graft-versus-host disease. DESIGN: Case report. SETTING: Tertiary referral center for pelvic reconstructive surgery. PATIENT(S): Two patients with the diagnosis of chronic graft-versus-host disease who later developed vaginal agglutination requiring treatment. INTERVENTION(S): Surgical lysis of vaginal adhesions and postoperative use of vaginal dilators. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Successful treatment of vaginal adhesions. RESULT(S): Both patients underwent successful surgical lysis of vaginal adhesions and maintained vaginal patency with postoperative use of vaginal dilators. CONCLUSION(S): Prompt diagnosis of vaginal agglutination in patients with chronic graft-versus-host disease and appropriate surgical correction of this complication rather than prophylaxis is the correct treatment course.
