title: [Primary carcinoma and precancerous lesions of the vagina--the diagnostic difficulties].
abstract: A retrospective morphological research is made on material from vagina for a three years period of time. The results from 93 studied cases are divided in 3 groups: 1. Re-occurrences in vagina--52; 2. Vaginal cancer and VAIN--11; 3. Non-malignant lesions--30. The diagnostic difficulties are discussed making parallel between primary vaginal neoplasia, the so-called lower genital tract neoplastic syndrome and postirradiation dysplasia.
