Overview
Popisujeme tubulo-skvamózní polyp vagíny u 86leté ženy. Makroskopicky se jednalo o lézi velikosti 2 x 1,5 x 1 cm. Histologicky byl polyp tvořen dobře ohraničenými hnízdy dlaždicových buněk s blandními jádry lokalizovanými ve fibrózním stromatu. Některá z těchto hnízd měla centrálně dutinu vyplněnou nekrotickým materiálem. V periferii některých hnízd byly přítomny drobné tubuly. Nečetné tubuly byly zastiženy i bez souvislosti s hnízdy dlaždicových epitelií. Kromě toho byly přítomny ojedinělé větší mucinózní žlázky, některé s dlaždicobuněčnou metaplazií. Na povrchu polypu byl intaktní vaginální dlaždicový epitel, který s lézí nesouvisel. Tubulo-skvamózní polyp vagíny je recentně popsaná jednotka; v literatuře jsme nalezli pouze jednu práci popisující 10 případů.
