Caroline S. Zhu & Wendi E. Wohltmann et al. · 2021-06-09

Performing injections with a bulking agent consisting of nonanimal stabilized hyaluronic acid and dextranomer is a well-tolerated and efficacious treatment for mild to moderate fecal incontinence. Here, we discuss a case of a patient with a history of a bulking procedure for fecal incontinence who presented to the obstetrics/gynecology clinic for evaluation of a new vaginal “cyst,” which was excised. Histopathologic examination revealed migrated bulking agent within the excised specimen.
