title: An ancient report of a dermoid cyst of the vagina.
abstract: There is a degree of imprecision in translating the Talmud from its original language into English. It is unlikely that we will ever know with certainty what a wart meant to the ancients. That this Talmudic reference represents the first description of a vaginal dermoid is a distinct possibility.
