Endodermal sinus tumor of the vagina in an infant: magnetic resonance imaging evaluation

Gynecol Oncol. 1993 Mar;48(3):402-5. doi: 10.1006/gyno.1993.1070.

Abstract

Endodermal sinus tumor is a rare and highly malignant lesion. This report documents the clinical findings and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of an uncommon case of the endodermal sinus tumor arising in the vagina of a 6-month-old infant. MRI was extremely accurate in delineating the possible extent and location of the vaginal lesion. This is the first report to demonstrate MRI of vaginal endodermal sinus tumor.
