Abstract
This chapter discusses a variety of conditions presenting as a vaginal mass unrelated to prolapse. The patient can be asymptomatic or may have bowel or urinary symptoms related to the mass. Masses can be found by the patient herself, but many times they are seen on a routine pelvic examination. The patient can complain of vaginal discomfort, dyspareunia, incontinence of urine, or vaginal bleeding.
