1. The majority of vaginal masses are benign, however a small number of cases may be attributed to primary and secondary malignancies of the vagina. 2. Benign masses are usually incidental cystic lesions of female lower genitourinary tract which can be distinguished by key anatomic relationships and characteristic radiographic signs described in this exhibit. 3. Advances in MRI imaging have contributed to the high-resolution, noninvasive, cross-sectional imaging of this region. 4. Primary and secondary vaginal malignancies have characteristic imaging features depending on histologic type of malignancy.
