Fístula tardia entre cúpula vaginal pós-histerectomia total e cavidade abdominal: revisão de literatura
This case report details a rare instance of a late vaginal stump fistula to the abdominal cavity secondary to an ovarian endometrioma, managed with dienogest, which reduced the endometrioma and stopped symptoms.

This literature review addresses late-onset fistulas between the vaginal vault after total hysterectomy and the abdominal cavity, reporting four previously described cases and adding a new case. The included literature and case describe delayed genital bleeding mimicking cyclic menses after years following total hysterectomy, with endometriosis proposed as the mechanism, including ovarian endometrioma and probable peritoneal–vaginal fistulization; the case used MRI findings and subsequent dienogest treatment, with gradual endometrioma volume reduction and cessation of bleeding after about two years. The authors note that such complications are extremely rare and emphasize that iatrogenic implantation of endometrial tissue should be considered in the differential diagnosis once other causes are excluded, though the rarity limits generalizability. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it reviews and reports delayed vaginal vault–abdominal fistula following hysterectomy attributed to endometriosis-related endometrioma and bleeding.
