Abstract

The authors report the third case of primary adenocarcinoma of the rectovaginal septum without associated endometriosis and discuss the pathogenesis of this tumour. Some of the tumour cells were stained with OC 125 antibody which recognises epithelium of coelomic origin; adenocarcinoma of the rectovaginal septum may arise directly from embryological Müllerian remnants.
