Vaginal schwannoma.
In the patient reported here, a solid tumor lying between the vagina and the rectum was detected using various imaging techniques (ultrasonography and MRI), and S100 protein was found in the tumor cells. Thus, a schwannoma was the final diagnosis. This is a slow-growing neoplasm, and its early detection is difficult.
