title: Carcinoma arising in the neovagina: case report and review of the literature.
abstract: Carcinoma arising in the neovagina is unusual. A case of squamous cell cancer arising in a neovagina constructed by split-thickness dermal graft is reported. This is the fifth reported case of primary cancer of the neovagina; 2 adenocarcinomas and 2 squamous cell carcinomas were reported previously. Primary carcinoma of the neovagina is a distinct clinical entity because of the younger age of occurrence and the histopathologic type.
