چکیده
A woman, aged 27, presented herself at the Maternity Hospital, Bangalore, with the following history:? When she was a child of five years two swellings, each of the size of a small cherry, were noticed in the groin" by her parents. The swellings increased in size very gradually. She was married when about fifteen years of age. There is no history of menstruation. She lived with her husband for seven years, and during this period was having sexual intercourse and responded spontaneously. As she had no children the husband married again. Both the wives are now living with the husband. Within the last six years the swellings have very rapidly increased in size, and as they caused pain she sought medical advice. The woman was well built. The feminine secondary sexual characteristics were very well developed, but curiously enough she had 110 shyness in speaking of sexual matters.
