Occasionallythere are cases of chronic vaginitis in which there is arterial congestion in spots. In 290 GYNECOLOGIC DIAGNOSIS such chronic cases there is likely to be infiltration and hypertrophy of the con-gested areas, giving rise to the condition known as granular vaginitis.

In the case of a malignant ulcer, it may be primary onthe vaginal wall (Fig. 430) or it may be secondary (Fig. 431), the most commonsource of secondary malignant ulceration of the vaginal wall being carcinoma of thecervix uteri.
