Fibroepithelial polyps of the vagina in pregnancy.

A 38-year old pregnant woman presented with a polypoid tumor of the vagina. A biopsy revealed benign fibroepithelial polyps. Her pregnancy progressed normally, and she underwent an uncomplicated vaginal delivery. Once the benign nature of the lesion has been established, a spontaneous vaginal delivery is not contraindicated. However, operative vaginal delivery should be avoided to reduce the risk of trauma and hemorrhage. Local excision is curative and may be performed as an interval procedure when the vaginal vascularity has returned to normal.
