Polyps of the vagina are benign, soft tissue tumors composed of loose connective tissue with myxoid changes and containing atypical, pleomorphic, hyperchromatic cells. Because of this bizarre microscopic configuration, they have been confused with sarcoma botryoides. Eighteen cases of polyps of the vagina included in the pathology files of Magee-Womens Hospital from 1972-1979 were compiled. Clinical and pathologic findings were reviewed. All patients except one were white, and median age was 48.5 years. The most common symptom was vaginal bleeding (ten patients) or vaginal "growth" (six patients). All lesions (except one in which only a biopsy was done) were treated with local resection.
阴道息肉是由具有黏液样变的疏松结缔组织构成的良性软组织肿瘤，含有非典型、多形性、深染细胞。由于这种奇特的微观结构，它们曾被误诊为葡萄状肉瘤。整理了1972年至1979年 Magee 女子医院病理档案中的18例阴道息肉病例。回顾了临床和病理结果。除1例患者外，所有患者均为白人，中位年龄为48.5岁。最常见的症状是阴道出血（10例患者）或阴道“肿物”（6例患者）。所有病变（除1例仅进行活检的病例外）均接受了局部切除术。
