Abstract

Mesonephric neoplasms of the lower female genital tract are rare. To date, there are scarce reports of benign biphasic vaginal mesonephric lesions, and none have included immunohistochemical and/or molecular analysis. A biphasic neoplasm of mesonephric-type was incidentally identified in the vaginal submucosal tissue of a 55-yr-old woman who underwent a right salpingo-oophorectomy for an ovarian cyst. The well-circumscribed, 5 mm nodule exhibited white-tan, firm homogenous cut surfaces. Microscopic examination showed a lobular arrangement of glands with columnar to the cuboidal epithelium and intraluminal eosinophilic secretions, embedded within a myofibromatous stroma. Cytologic atypia and mitotic activity were absent. Immunohistochemical staining for PAX8 and GATA3 demonstrated diffuse expression in the glandular epithelium, CD10 exhibited a patchy luminal expression pattern, while TTF1, ER, PR, p16, and NKX3.1 were negative. Desmin highlighted a subset of the stromal cells, but myogenin was negative. Whole exome sequencing demonstrated variants of unknown significance in multiple genes including PIK3R1 and NFIA. The morphologic and immunohistochemical profiles are consistent with a benign mesonephric neoplasm. This is the first report describing the immunohistochemical and whole exome sequencing results for a benign biphasic vaginal mesonephric neoplasm. To the best of our knowledge, benign mesonephric adenomyofibroma has not been previously reported in this anatomic location.
