Primary vaginal villous adenoma – A rare case report

Abstract

Villous adenomas are known to occur in gastrointestinal tract; however, they are very rare in female genital tract. The pathogenesis is unclear but their origin from cloacal remnants has been hypothesized. Here we report a rare incidental case of primary villous adenoma with high grade dysplasia arising from vaginal vault in a 28-year-old female who presented with abnormal vaginal bleeding. The importance of reporting this lies in its pre-malignant behaviour and benign looking clinical appearance.
