Pseudosarcoma botryoides, a rare vaginal tumor, was initially misdiagnosed as fatal sarcoma botryoides in a pregnant patient. Corrected diagnosis after surgery confirmed benign pseudosarcoma, requiring no further treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Pseudosarcoma botryoides is a rare vaginal tumor with benign behavior.
  • Distinguishing it from the often-fatal sarcoma botryoides is critical for patient management.

Observation:

  • A case of vaginal polyp during pregnancy is presented.
  • Initial excision and diagnosis post-cesarean section suggested sarcoma botryoides.
  • Histologic review revised the diagnosis to pseudosarcoma.

Findings:

  • The patient required no further treatment beyond initial excision.
  • Histologic findings of both entities were analyzed, highlighting potential diagnostic confusion.
  • The patient remained asymptomatic twelve months post-surgery.

Implications:

  • Accurate histologic diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management of vaginal tumors.
  • This case underscores the importance of differential diagnosis in gynecologic pathology.
  • Benign pseudosarcoma botryoides offers a favorable prognosis with surgical excision.
