| pubmed-article:857437 | pubmed:abstractText | A case report is presented of a malignant tumour of the vagina arising from the mesonephric duct (Gartner's duct) in a 34-year-old woman. The diagnostic difficulties are illustrated on the basis of the course, clinical findings and cytological and histological reports. In an attempt to classify the histological picture amongst the great diversity of forms of mesonephric tumours it would appear advantageous to distinguish between a mesonephric tubulopapillary "Gartner's duct type" and a metamesonephric "clear-cell type". Management by extended radical operation and subsequent combination chemotherapy, as carried out in this patients, appears promising. | lld:pubmed |
