This paper reports a case of a 46-year-old woman referred for an anterior vaginal wall cyst whose preoperative physical exam and transvaginal ultrasound were more consistent with a bladder cyst. After excision of the cyst wall, the lesion was diagnosed as an endometrioma located in the anterior vagina. The authors highlight difficulties in correctly identifying endometriosis in the vagina and other uncommon locations, and discuss potential disease progression processes and recommended therapies, without presenting additional data beyond this single case. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it describes an anterior vaginal wall endometrioma diagnosed after surgical excision.

Abstract

ABSTRACT A 46-year-old woman was referred to gynecology for the assessment and treatment of an anterior vaginal wall cyst. The preoperative physical examination and transvaginal USG of the pelvis were most consistent with the presence of a bladder cyst. Following the excision of the cyst wall, the patient was diagnosed with an endometrioma in the anterior part of the vagina. This case emphasizes difficulties in the identification of endometriosis in the vagina and other uncommon places, potential processes of disease progression, and recommended therapies.
