title: Mucinous adenocarcinoma emerging in sigmoid colon neovagina 40 years after its creation: a case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  We reported our experience of adenocarcinoma of sigmoid colon neovagina.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 67-year-old female with a history of neovagina construction for Rokitansky syndrome complained of vaginal bleeding. She had a mucinous adenocarcinoma at the anterior aspect of the neovagina. Her original surgery, using sigmoid colon to construct the artificial vagina, was 40 years ago
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This patient's case may contribute to our understanding of carcinogenesis in the colon.
