[Papillomas of the lower female genital organs - incidence, colposcopic and histological findings - oncogynaecological relevance (author's transl)].

Reference is made to findings recorded by the authors from 39 cases of vulvar, vaginal, and cervical papillomas. An account is given of the clinical, colposcopic, and histomorphological criteria which to differentiate genuine papilloma from acuminate condyloma. The great oncogynaecological importance of cervical and vaginal papillomas is underlined. Epithelial dysplasia up to transition to intra-epithelial and infiltrative papillary carcinoma was histologically recorded from more than 50 per cent of all cases.
