  • primary vaginal adenocarcinoma of intestinal type arising from a tubuloVillous Adenoma
    International Journal of Gynecological Cancer, 2006
    Co-Authors: Wiebren A.a. Tjalma, C G A Colpaert
    Abstract:

    Enteric or intestinal-type neoplasms of the vagina are extremely rare. The present report describes a 55-year-old woman who presented with a 6-week history of postmenopausal bleeding. On clinical examination, a lesion on the posterior vaginal wall was noticed. Rectovaginal examination suggested a tumor in the rectovaginal septum. Biopsy revealed an adenocarcinoma of the intestinal type, with a small remnant of a Villous Adenoma. The histologic interpretation pointed in the direction of a metastatic gastrointestinal tumor; yet, clinical examination, rectoscopy, colonoscopy, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the abdomen, and positron emission tomography (PET) scanning excluded this possibility. This led to the conclusion that the lesion was a primary intestinal-type adenocarcinoma of the vagina that had arisen from a vaginal Villous Adenoma. It is important to be aware of this tumor type and to distinguish them from metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma in order to plan appropriate treatment.

  • large periampullary Villous tumor of the duodenum
    Journal of Hepato-biliary-pancreatic Surgery, 2007
    Co-Authors: Marco Cavallini, Daniele Cavaniglia, Francesco Felicioni, Valeria Vitale, Emanuela Pilozzi, Vincenzo Ziparo
    Abstract:

    A 67-year-old woman, who had symptoms of epigastric pain and abdominal distension, was found, on endoscopy, to have a large sessile Villous Adenoma of the periampullary duodenum. Despite the lack of evidence of malignancy, a pancreaticoduodenectomy procedure was performed, mainly because of the tumor size and site, involving the ampulla of Vater. The presence of the carcinoma was diagnosed only in the resected specimen by definitive histology. Because there is no general consensus on the optimal surgical procedure for the treatment of Villous tumors of the duodenum, especially for the early stages, the indications for the operative procedure are discussed, based on a review of the literature.

  • tubuloVillous Adenoma of the vulva
    Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2003
    Co-Authors: D Vitrey, Sophie Frachon, Brigitte Balme, François Golfier
    Abstract:

    Abstract Background We report the second case of enteric-type Villous Adenoma of the vulva. The differential diagnosis, histogenesis, and pathogenesis are discussed. Case A 66-year-old woman had a tumor resected from the posterior aspect of the vulva. The tumor was characterized by its Villous architecture, with columnar epithelium and goblet cells. This vulvar tubuloVillous Adenoma was identical to a tumor resected 6 months before from this patient's rectal wall. Conclusion These two tumors behaved benignly, and the vulvar Adenoma possibly originated with the mullerian vestige.
