[Vaginal mixed tumor or spindle cell epithelioma--a case report]

Abstract

A case of mixed tumor of the vagina or spindle cell epithelioma is presented and the literature on this rare type of tumor is reviewed. Immunohistochemical findings suggest an epithelial origin. Follow-up studies indicate benign behavior. However, recurrent tumors were reported suggesting careful follow-up observation after excision of extended primary tumors.
