Endovaginal ultrasound showed an enlarged and heterogeneous uterus with multiple hypoechoic myomatous nodules. Contrast enhanced CT showed a myomatous uterus with hyperenhancing myomas. A large vaginal hyperenhancing mass was seen without rectal invasion. There was no lymph node enlargement. On MRI examination a large vaginal wall lesion was seen with enhancement throughout the vagina. Uterine myomas and a small quantity of free fluid was present.
After treatment, 2 months after the first MRI, a repeat MRI examination demonstrated a decrease in the size of the diffuse vaginal wall lesion.
