title: [Malacoplacia of the vagina, a rare cause of vaginal bleeding (author's transl)].
abstract: In a 74 years old woman who developed bleeding per vaginam following a paroxysm of cough colposcopic inspection revealed a yellowish-brown soft tissue of the mucous membrane of the upper vaginal vault. Microscopical examination showed a typical Malacoplacia of the vagina. Bleeding per vaginam resulted from ruptured vessels of this granulation tissue. This seems to be the 2nd case of a Malacoplacia of the vagina, as far as we are informed.
