the vagina which came to light in one of our patients whose cervical
smear was negative but who was referred to the gynaecologist for post
menopausal bleeding.
Inflammatory changes were noted in 321 women most of them are to
return for a repeat smear in 1 year.
Breast examination revealed 6 suspect findings and the patients were
referred to a surgeon for consultation.
