Mesenchymal Lesions of the Lower Genital Tract
1Department of Pathology, Brigham and Women's Hospital, 75 Francis Street, Boston, MA 02115, USA.
Abstract:
A variety of site-specific mesenchymal lesions of the lower genital tract may occur, which are often diagnostically challenging because of their morphologic overlap. Some of this morphologic homogeneity presumably stems from a potentially shared origin from the specialized superficial stroma of the distal female genital tract. Despite shared appearances, morphologic distinction remains the gold standard for diagnosis of most of these lesions, as immunoperoxidase staining is often not helpful in their distinction.
