It has been reported that some patients have been misdiagnosed with Dysplasia, when in fact the correct diagnosis in their specific case was Vaginal Cancer.
Vaginal cancer is a rare cancer that occurs in the cells that line the vagina. Early cancer usually does not cause any symptoms but if misdiagnosed or allowed to grow untreated can cause unusual vaginal bleeding, watery discharge, a mass, painful and frequent urination and pelvic pain. Non-cancerous conditions such as vulvar dystrophies, dysplasia and condyloma can mimic vulvar cancer and be a source of misdiagnosis. If misdiagnosed vaginal cancer can metastasise and lead to death.
