Blaustein’s Pathology of the Female Genital Tract

Abstract

The vagina, like other orifices that interface between exter nal environment and the interior milieu, acts as a barrier to many potentially invasive microorganisms. It is thus not surprising that the vagina is the site of a variety of infections, both sexually and nonsexually transmitted, and this, in fact, represents the predominant type of pathology of this organ. In contrast, neoplasms are relatively unusual in this site, which is somewhat unexpected in view of the relationship between infection (e.g., human papilloma virus infection) and the development of carcinoma of the vulva and cervix.
