congenital megaureter presenting in an adult as a Vaginal wall Cyst
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2016Co-Authors: Allison A Eubanks, Hector M GonzalezAbstract:BACKGROUND Vaginal Cysts are a common finding. The differential diagnosis includes epidermal inclusion, Bartholin gland, Gartner duct, and Skene gland Cysts and Mullerian anomalies. Rarely, leiomyomas, cancers, or ectopic ureters or megaureters are found. CASE A 31-year-old woman, gravida 3 para 3, presented with a 12-year history of intermittent abdominal pain and involuntary loss of urine. She was diagnosed with ectopic Vaginal megaureter after evaluation and subsequently underwent a nephroureterectomy with a marsupialized distal ureter. She remains asymptomatic. CONCLUSION Consideration of a rare diagnosis such as an ectopic ureter is important when patients repeatedly present with involuntary urinary incontinence in conjunction with a Vaginal Cyst and an otherwise negative evaluation. Using magnetic resonance imaging can be useful to assess urinary tract involvement, particularly in patients with known urinary tract malformations.

benign Cystic lesions of the vagina a literature review
The Journal of Urology, 2003Co-Authors: Karyn S EilberAbstract:ABSTRACTPurpose: Knowledge of the etiology, evaluation and treatment of Cystic lesions of the vagina is essential as these lesions are often encountered in urological and gynecological practices.Materials and Methods: We searched MEDLINE and MeSH for literature from the last 50 years referring to Cysts of the vagina. Review of the literature regarding etiology, clinical and pathological diagnosis, prognosis and treatment identified 18 journal articles and 6 books.Results: Benign Cystic lesions of the vagina present a spectrum, from small asymptomatic lesions to Cysts large enough to cause urinary obstruction. History, physical examination and radiological imaging, including voiding Cystourethrogram and magnetic resonance imaging, are useful in diagnosis. Treatment is determined by the severity of symptoms.Conclusions: Cystic lesions of the vagina are relatively common and usually represent benign conditions. A Vaginal Cyst may be an embryological derivative, ectopic tissue or urological abnormality. Aware...

large posterior Vaginal Cyst in pregnancy
Case Reports, 2015Co-Authors: Meenakshi Lallar, Rajesh Nandal, Deepak Sharma, Sweta ShastriAbstract:A 20-year-old primigravida presented in labour with a mass protruding from her vagina during uterine contractions. The mass was a large tense Cyst measuring 8×8 cm arising from the posterior Vaginal wall. The Cyst was present since puberty but increased in size during pregnancy. It collapsed following aspiration and uneventful Vaginal delivery was conducted. Following delivery, the Cyst was excised and Vaginal wall repaired. On histopathology the Cyst was identified as a Mullerian Cyst. The patient recovered and remained asymptomatic on follow-up.

Aggressive Angiomyxoma in Pregnancy: A Rare Condition, a Common Misdiagnosis
Hindawi Limited, 2016Co-Authors: J. Sampaio, I. Sarmento-gonçalves, D. Ramada, T. Amaro, P. Tiago-silvaAbstract:Introduction. Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm. Although benign in the majority of the cases, these neoplasms usually present a locally infiltrative nature and high rates of recurrence. Due to its rarity, misdiagnosis is a common problem. Case Presentation. We present one case of aggressive angiomyxoma in a 25-year-old pregnant woman. The patient presented with a large Vaginal mass that was interpreted as a Vaginal Cyst. We performed surgical resection of the neoplasm and the correct diagnosis was only achieved after histological examination. With this case, we highlight the importance of considering this diagnosis in patients with genital and perineal masses of unknown origin and the impact of a correct preoperative diagnosis in patient’s management and follow-up. Conclusion. Although aggressive angiomyxoma is rare, it should be considered in differential diagnosis of pelviperineal masses in young women. Its positivity to estrogen and progesterone receptors can justify enlargement and recurrence during pregnancy, although few cases are reported. Early recognition demands high index of suspicion for both gynaecologists and pathologists. Wide surgical excision with tumor free margins is the basis of curative treatment. Adjuvant therapy may be necessary for residual or recurrent tumors. Long-term follow-up is recommended
