So-called fibroepithelial polyps of the vagina exhibiting an unusual but uniform antigen profile characterized by expression of desmin and steroid hormone receptors but no muscle-specific actin or macrophage markers.

Abstract excerpt

The nature of the atypical, often multinucleated stromal cells proliferating in the so-called fibroepithelial polyps of the vagina (FEPV) is obscure. The authors therefore investigated immunohistochemically four polyps of this type with a panel of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies, including those directed against intermediate filaments, steroid hormone receptors, and macrophage antigens. The authors found...
