    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Vaginitis emphysematosa is an extremely rare condition, with limited reported cases in English literature.
    • The last reported case prior to this study was in 1967, highlighting its rarity.

    Observation:

    • Presents three new cases of vaginitis emphysematosa in women aged 42-65.
    • Symptoms included vaginal discharge or incidental findings during routine examinations, including autopsy.
    • Lesions manifested as vaginal nodules, sometimes producing a 'popping sound' that relieved pressure.

    Findings:

    • Microscopic examination revealed variable-sized cysts with hyaline-like material and foreign body giant cells.
    • Minimal chronic inflammatory infiltrate was noted in the cyst walls.
    • The condition is characterized as self-healing with an unknown etiology.

    Implications:

    • Vaginitis emphysematosa is an uncommon, self-limiting condition.
    • It does not appear to cause any detrimental long-term effects for patients.
    • Further research into the unknown cause may be warranted despite its benign nature.
