Review Question - QID 212844

A 62-year-old woman presents to the clinic for postmenopausal bleeding for the past month. She reports that the bleeding often occurs after intercourse with her husband. The patient denies fever, weight loss, chills, chest pain, abdominal pain, or shortness of breath but endorses mild dyspareunia and vaginal discharge. Her past medical history is significant for human papilloma virus and cervical cancer that was treated with surgical resection and radiation 5 years ago. Physical examination is unremarkable except for an irregular mass protruding from the vaginal wall. What is the most likely explanation for this patient’s condition?
