Primary adenocarcinoma of the vagina with mucinous-enteric differentiation: a report of two cases with associated vaginal adenosis without history of diethylstilbestrol exposure.
Primary adenocarcinoma of the vagina is rare, and mucinous-enteric differentiation is exceptional. A few sporadic cases of primary vaginal adenocarcinoma with mucinous-enteric differentiation have been reported. Reports of the clinical histories, pathologic findings, and immunohistochemical studies of two cases of primary vaginal adenocarcinomas in a 67-year-old and in a 45-year-old woman are presented. Knowledge of the differentiation of Mullerian epithelium and immunohistochemistry studies are helpful to better characterize these tumors.
