Abstract

Vaginal tumours are rare, and Brenner tumour is one of the most infrequent vaginal lesions. Brenner tumour is a transitional tumour that typically arises in the ovaries. Some cases have been reported in the broad ligament, uterus and paratesticular structures. Only five cases have been reported in the vagina. We report a sixth case and discuss the histogenesis of this tumour, as well as the differential diagnosis with the mixed tumour of the vagina.
