title: Recurrent squamous cell carcinoma in a rectus abdominis neovagina.
abstract: The development of a carcinoma in a neovagina is rare. Most neovaginal neoplasias have been carcinomas in situ in the skin graft. To date, there has not been a report of a neovaginal carcinoma in a myocutaneous flap. This report is the first of a squamous cell carcinoma arising in a neovagina constructed from a rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap.
