title: Benign papilloma of the cervix in childhood: immunohistochemical findings and review of the literature.
abstract: Papillomas of the genital region are rare benign tumours causing sanguineous vaginal discharge in prepubertal girls. We report on a papilloma of the cervix in a 2-year-old girl. We characterize the tumour immunohistochemically and give a brief review about the current literature.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Genital tract papillomas are benign differentiated tumours of probable Müllerian origin with a good prognosis even after tumour recurrence. Local excision is adequate for treatment.
