'Polyposis vaginalis' of pregnancy.
Clinical and pathologic findings in a pregnant 15-year-old with vaginal polyposis disclosed numerous polyps throughout the vagina and portio of the cervix that disappeared spontaneously 6 weeks post partum. These polyps can be confused microscopically with sarcoma botryoides, although they are benign and may regress completely.
