Adenocarcinoma in a cecal neovagina--complication of irradiation: report of a case and review of literature.
A 42-year-old woman is presented with her fifth primary pelvic carcinoma, occurring in an irradiated cecal neovagina. Previously reported neovaginal carcinomas are reviewed. The possible etiologies are examined. This is the first case of radiation-induced carcinoma arising in a cecal neovagina. Long-term follow-up is important in all patients with neovaginas.
