Two types of tumefactions can be distinguished: diffuse, without an actually measurable tumour, and circumscribed, most often corresponding to benign tumours. Among diffuse tumefactions, the author diseases prolapse, inguinal hernias, hematomas, oedemas, vulvar varices, abcesses of the vulva and rare cases of elephantiasis. Each case is described and management is discussed. In a second section, where only large tumours can be termed tumescent, the author discusses cystic formations (serous, mucous and epidermal) and solid formations (fibromas, lipomas, acrochordons, neurofibromas, giant condylomas, voluminous endometriomas, and budding neoplastic mass). Excision of these tumours is always recommended as is pathologic surveillance.
弥漫性的，没有实际可测量的肿瘤；以及局限性的，最常对应良性肿瘤。在弥漫性肿胀中，作者列举了脱垂、腹股沟疝、血肿、水肿、外阴静脉曲张、外阴脓肿以及罕见的象皮肿病例。对每个病例都进行了描述并讨论了处理方法。在第二部分中，只有大肿瘤才可称为肿大，作者讨论了囊性肿物（浆液性、黏液性和表皮样）和实性肿物（纤维瘤、脂肪瘤、皮赘、神经纤维瘤、巨大湿疣、大量子宫内膜瘤以及初发肿瘤块）。总是建议切除这些肿瘤并进行病理监测。
