Abstract

Los carcinomas verrugosos de vagina son neoplasias poco frecuentes, con un crecimiento lento, localmente invasivo, que no suelen metastatizar y con unas características macro y microscópicas específicas. Describimos un caso de carcinoma verrugoso de cúpula vaginal en paciente postmenopáusica histerectomizada 4 años antes por prolapso uterino grado IV, discutiéndose su diagnóstico diferencial y tratamiento. El carcinoma verrugoso de vagina es un tumor poco frecuente que plantea el diagnóstico diferencial con el condiloma acuminado, el carcinoma escamoso clásico y el condilomatoso, siendo el tratamiento de elección la exéresis quirúrgica completa.
Verrucous carcinoma of the vagina is a rare neoplasm. This entity is a slow-growing, locally invasive but generally nonmetastasizing neoplasm, with a characteristic gross and microscopic appearance. We report a case of verrucous carcinoma of the vagina in a postmenopausal woman diagnosed 4 years after transvaginal hysterectomy for grade 4 uterine prolapse. We also discuss the differential diagnosis and treatment.Verrucous carcinoma of the vagina is a rare neoplasm. The differential diagnosis includes typical squamous cell carcinoma, warty carcinoma, and condyloma acuminatum. Surgery remains the most effective treatment.
