    From all this it follows, as already said, that adenoma vagina' difi'usum is a persistence of an embryological coiulition due to .1 practical absence of the epithelium relining the vagina, at the third month. It is of great interest to note that malignant disease supervened in Haultain's case. The question arises as to whether anything can be done for such cases. The only thing I can suggest is either entire excision or that tiaps of skin be taken from the labia niajora, and by them, after curetting, and in a way I need not detail, a skin covering provided for the vaginal walls.
