When the case was examined on the 10th day after operation, a hard resistance of th size of egg was felt in Douglas' pouch. The present authors consider that the case followed the course of endometriosis since that time. This was confirmed by the fact that the showed reactions when hormone treatment was given against the symptoms of menorrhagia and irregular bleeding.
As described above, a case of radical cure of vaginal endometriosis is reported in this paper. It existed as a tumor in Douglas' pouch for a long period of time, developing into polyps at the cervical part and the rectovaginal pouch. These polyps, even if removed, were again generated one after another, and it was not possible for the case to be cured in spite of the treatment for a long period of time. However, this case of vaginal endometriosis has been completely cured by operation in this hospital.
