Fibroepithelial Polyp of the Vagina with Fungal Infection

A 35-year-old woman presented with complaints of itching in the perineal region and something coming out per vaginum. A general and systemic examination was unremarkable. On per speculum examination, a pedunculated polyp measuring 2.5×1.5×0.5 cm with a stalk of 0.8 cm was seen coming out from the anterior vaginal wall.

Multiple tiny projections were present on the surface of polyp. On per vaginal examination, uterus was of normal size and bilateral fornices were free. Ultrasound examination showed normal sized uterus with endometrial thickness of 5 mm. There was no adnexal mass seen. Under local anesthesia and full aseptic conditions, polyp was excised and submitted for histopathological examination.

Microscopic examination showed a polyp lined by stratified squamous epithelium with underlying loosely arranged vascularized stroma and infiltrates of lymphocytes, plasma cells and mast cells. Stratified squamous epithelium exhibited focal koilocytic changes and focal collection of neutrophils.
