ABSTRACT
Vaginitis emphysematosa is an uncommon inflammatory condition that is aetiologically linked to trichomonal or gardnerella infection, and has been associated with immunosuppressive disorders. The disease does not have deleterious sequelae and resolves on treating the underlying infection. We describe a case in which the disease predominantly affected the cervix leading to an abnormal pap smear and colposcopic investigation.

A review of tumours of the testis and paratesticular region diagnosed at the University Hospital of the West Indies over a 30-year period revealed 14 of the former and 22 of the latter. The testicular tumours were all malignant, with 50 per cent of them being gerem-cell neoplasms. Seventeen of the 22 paratesticular tumours, (77.3%) were benign. The histological types, racial incidence and possible aetiological factors are discussed and compared with the findings of other series
