[Non-diethylstilbestrol-induced adenosis of the vagina].
A case of spontaneous vaginal adenosis in a 39-year old patient is reported. This entity is infrequently observed in comparison to the larger number of vaginal adenosis due to intrauterine DES exposure. The literature concerning the origin of these spontaneous proliferations is controversial: remnants of Wolffian or Müllerian ducts are thought to be the source, as well as metaplastic or prosoplastic changes. According to stage and extent of the disease, the individual case can be categorised into the following subgroups: cystic, florid, adenomatous and carcinomatous adenosis. Benign courses are far more frequent. Symptoms are observed only in advanced cases; therapy depends on histology, extent, and symptoms.
