Recurrent benign mixed tumor of the vagina.
Recurrence of benign mixed tumors has not previously been reported. The case presented here describes this phenomenon 8 years after the original diagnosis was reported in this journal [D. W. Buntine, P. R. Henderson, and J. S. G. Riggs, Gynecol. Oncol. 8, 21-26 (1979)]. There has been no further recurrence in the 3 years since the recurrent tumor was removed. Careful follow-up of large primary benign mixed tumors of the vagina is recommended.
