Abstract

Sonographic characterization and surveillance of paravaginal smooth muscle tumor of uncertain malignant potential. (A1) Transvaginal ultrasound with probe placed over the right vaginal wall, showing a well-defined round mass with regular contours, a mostly hypoechoic and heterogeneous echotexture, and edge shadowing, deep to the right distal third of the right vagina. (A2) Multifrequency linear probe (9-14 MHz) placed over the right labium majus revealing hyperechoic striations (arrows on A1-A2) and central flow (arrowheads on A2). (B1) Resected solid white-tan mass of bland consistency. (B2) Hematoxylin-eosin microscopy (40X) showing fusiform cells, with mild to moderate atypia. (C1) Repeat transvaginal ultrasound six-years later showing a recurrent solid oval-shaped mass with regular contour, a mostly hypoechoic heterogeneous echotexture, and an anechoic area inside the solid mass (asterisk on C2) that could represent a focus of necrosis.

Keywords: STUMP; smooth muscle tumors of uncertain malignant potential; sonography; ultrasound; vaginal.
