Das Kapitel behandelt einführend die makro- und mikroskopische Anatomie und geht dann auf die Entzündungen und tumorartigen Läsionen (u. a. Polypen, Zysten, Endometriose, Adenose und Tubenprolaps) ein. Danach werden die gutartigen epithelialen Tumoren (z. B. Kondylome) und maligne Tumoren (u. a. vaginale intraepitheliale Neoplasie, Plattenepithelkarzinom) besprochen.
