Tubulo- villous adenomas are common in the colon and rectum, but extremely rare in the vagina. As far as we know, only two cases of tubulo- villous adenoma have ever been reported. We report the third case of enteric- type tubulo- villous adenoma of the vagina. A 61- year- old woman presented a symptom of intermittent vaginal spotting and a tumor located outside the vaginal introitus near the urethra. The tumor was excised and pathologically confirmed as a tubulo- villous adenoma. Because some tubulo- villous adenomas in the colon and rectum can progress to the cancer, this case requires long- term followup to detect recurrence and malignant transformation.
