Vaginal adenosis with adenocarcinoma in situ in a woman with no recognised antecedent factors.
We present a case of vaginal adenosis with adenocarcinoma in situ in a woman with no recognised antecedent factors. This case demonstrates the importance of continuing thorough colposcopic assessment of the entire lower genital tract with repeated biopsies of all abnormal epithelium in women with persistent or recurrent cervical cytology abnormalities. Successful management requires accurate definition of the vaginal lesion.
