A Case Report on Vaginal Adenosis | Chapter 6 | Current Practice in Medical Science Vol. 3

In the current case study, a 40-year-old woman's vaginal adenosis is highlighted. Without a history of exposure to diethylstilbestrol (DES), vaginal adenosis is an uncommon disorder with an unknown cause. A uncommon disease is the development of müllerian type epithelium in the vaginal wall, which is hypothesised to result from müllerian epithelial islets that survive in postembryonic life. A 40-year-old woman reported experiencing frequent, profuse vaginal discharge. Upon inspection, a crimson, splotchy, widespread lesion could be seen covering the vaginal wall and cervix. On histological evaluation of the illness, vaginal adenosis was found. The cause and best course of action are unknown. Inflammation and trauma have both been identified as pathogenic contributors. Although the exact cause is unknown, some research suggests that oral contraceptives may be a contributing factor.
