Vaginal tumors

**Vaginal tumors** are tumors that can be found in the vagina. A tumor in the vagina can be cancer (malignant)  but not all tumors in the vagina are cancer. Tumors that are not cancer are called benign tumors. Tumors have many different names. Another name for a tumor is neoplasm. A neoplasm is too much growth of tissue that forms a lump.
If cancer is found in the vagina it most often has spread there from other places in the body. Cancer found in the vagina may have come from the bladder, stomach and intestines.

A tumor in the vagina can be solid or filled with fluid (or both).

Vaginal cancer is rare. It is an overgrowth of tissue in the vagina. Some benign tumor<nowiki/>s may turn into cancer.

A vaginal tumor can cause bleeding, pain with sex and feelings of pressure. A tumor in the vagina is often found during a check up and pelvic exam. Doctors may order more tests like an ultrasound, CAT scan and MRI. Doctors will look at a piece of the tumor under a microscope to see what kind of tumor that it is.
