Ectopic sebaceous glands in the vagina.
We report a case of ectopic sebaceous glands in the upper third of the posterior wall of the vagina of a 49-year-old woman. This is, to our knowledge, the first fully documented case report of their occurrence in the vagina. The review of the literature and possible embryologic origin are discussed.
