title: Intramural müllerian papilloma of the vagina.
abstract: A 24-year-old pregnant woman was found to have a mass in the posterior vagina; a partly cystic and partly solid lesion was excised. Histology showed a papillary mural neoplasm covered by intact squamous epithelium. Immunohistochemical staining showed diffuse positivity with CAM 5.2, EP4, CEA, and EMA and focal immunoreactivity with CA-125. This lesion was interpreted as an intramural mullerian papilloma, only the second such tumor described in the vagina and the first in an adult.
