Abstract:Spindle cell epitheliomas of the vagina are rare benign tumors of uncertain histogenesis. It has been hypothesized that they originate from a pluripotent cell population. Here, we report 2 cases of spindle cell epitheliomas of the vagina. Both patients presented with a painless vaginal nodule. The resected lesions were solid, well circumscribed, and composed of a proliferation of epithelioid or epithelial cells admixed with spindle cells without atypia. The 2 cellular populations expressed epithelial and mesen… Show more
