Gynecological neoplasms in girls are rare and represent only less than 5 % of all childhood tumors. There are no statistics on the incidence of vaginal tumors at this stage in life. We present a 9-month-old girl evaluated for genital bleeding. Ultrasound reveals a vaginal solid mass and vaginoscopy reports a friable tumor. AFP is elevated. A yolk sac tumor is confirmed by biopsy she receives chemotherapy. Within a year after diagnosis, she remains tumor-free. This is a case of interest, not only because of its rarity, but also because a rapid diagnosis of a yolk sac tumor improves outcomes and patient's survival rates.
女童妇科肿瘤较为罕见,仅占所有儿童肿瘤的不到5%。目前尚无该年龄段阴道肿瘤发病率的统计数据。我们报告一名9个月大因生殖器出血接受评估的女童。超声检查发现阴道有实性肿块,阴道镜检查报告为易碎肿瘤。甲胎蛋白升高。活检确诊为卵黄囊瘤,她接受了化疗。诊断后一年内,她未再出现肿瘤。这是一个值得关注的病例,不仅因其罕见,还因为卵黄囊瘤的快速诊断可改善预后和提高患者生存率。
