Abstract: Abstract: Hidradenoma papilliferum (HP) is a rare benign tumor of the apocrine gland and is commonly seen at the anogenital region. A 32-year-old post-hysterectomy woman presented with excessive vaginal discharge and itching. Small polypoidal mass was noted at vault. Excision of the lesion was done, and histopathology confirmed HP. The patient is symptom free following excision. This case report highlights the presence of pluripotent cells in the vagina and their differentiation into any cell lineage.<br /> (Copyright © 2023 Copyright: © 2023 Journal of Cancer Research and Therapeutics.)
