Summary
A rare case of non-invasive vaginal tumors, a type of transitional cell tumor, was observed in a 62-year-old woman. This finding is significant given her prior history of invasive bladder and kidney tumors.
Area of Science:
- Urogynecology
- Oncology
- Pathology
Background:
- Transitional cell tumors typically originate in the urinary tract.
- Vaginal tumors are uncommon, with transitional cell origin being exceedingly rare.
- Previous history of invasive urothelial carcinoma increases surveillance considerations.
