What is the vagina? This seemingly simple question has a rather complex answer, depending on whether we use a functional or a developmental definition. The terminal portion of the female reproductive tract that opens to the environment initially served as a conduit for eggs to be laid, and in species with external fertilization the distal oviduct may ...

Primary site The vagina extends from the vulva upward to the uterine cervix. Cases should be classified as carcinoma of the vagina when the primary site of the growth is in the vagina. Tumors present in the vagina as secondary growths from either genital or extra-genital sites should be excluded. A growth that has extended to the portio and reached the

No associated or etiological factors could be identified in 35 malignancies of the vagina presented. Abnormal vaginal bleeding and an atypical discharge were the usual presenting symptoms in three quarters of the patients. The treatment either by surgery or irradiation in the early-stage lesion gave excellent survivals.

Sex Hormones Coordinate Neutrophil Immunity in the Vagina by Controlling Chemokine Gradients.
Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2016Estradiol-based contraceptives and hormonal replacement therapy predispose women to Candida albicans infections. Moreover, during the ovulatory phase (high estradiol), neutrophil numbers decrease in the vaginal lumen and increase during the luteal phase (

Abstract The etiology of congenital and acquired vaginal atresia is discussed. Ten patients with acquired and 124 with congenital vaginal atresia are presented. Artificial vaginas were constructed in 110. Preoperative investigation and preparation of the patient are essential for success. Selection of the time for operation is critical.

A case of vaginal rhabdomyoma in 35-year-old healthy woman is presented. The lesion, a pedunculated polyp measuring 1.2 cm in diameter, was located in the anterior wall of the vagina. This is an extremely rare entity that pursues a benign course. Light and immunohistochemical features are commented and selected literature briefly reviewed.
