PY - 2020 T2 - Williams Gynecology, 4e AB - The lower reproductive tract, comprising the vulva, vagina, and cervix, exhibits a wide spectrum of benign and neoplastic diseases. Disorder characteristics often overlap, and thus differentiating normal variants, benign disease, and potentially serious lesions can be challenging. Lower reproductive tract infection is a frequent cause and discussed in Chapter 3 (p. 56), whereas congenital anomalies and preinvasive neoplasia are infrequent and described in Chapters 19 (p. 406) and 29 (p. 620). The benign lesions highlighted in this chapter are common, and mastery of their identification and treatment is essential.
