Squamous cell carcinoma of the neovagina 47 years after gender-affirming surgery

A 74-year-old transgender female presented with urinary difficulty and a painful lesion at her neo-vagina, 47 years after undergoing gender-affirming vaginoplasty. Initial biopsy reported Low-Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion (LGSIL), while MRI revealed no inguinal or pelvic lymphadenopathy. Patient underwent partial neo-vaginectomy with wide local excision and formal urethroplasty. Pathology revealed verrucous carcinoma of the neovagina, a rare neoplasm in transgender female patients. This case highlights the importance of considering squamous cell carcinoma in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting lesions at neo-vagina and the need of screening methods for early detection of such neoplasms.
