Papillary squamotransitional cell carcinoma of the vagina.
A case of papillary squamotransitional carcinoma of the vagina is reported. The immunohistochemical profiles (cytokeratin-7 and -20) and the detection of human papillomavirus 16 support its close relationship to conventional squamous cell carcinoma. The lesion is compared to previously reported cases of papillary transitional cell carcinoma of the vagina and papillary squamotransitional cell carcinoma of the cervix.
