[Vaginal fibromas (author's transl)]

The author describes the characteristics of vaginal fibromas, as observed in one personal case and after a rview of the published literature. These tumors, which affect women during the period of genital activity, are not of frequent occurrence, and the principal signs are dyspareunia and metrorrhagia. The histological appearance of the tumours is very similar to that of uterine fibromas, but their pathogenicity appears to be different, and they progress in a similar manner to that of benign tumors. Because of the existence of a cleavage line they can be easily enucleated, the main therapeutic problem being the choice of the surgical approach to be employed.
