    Abstract:
    There are numerous etiologies of benign vulvo-vaginal tumefactions in children. However, the etiological diagnosis can usually be based on clinical data after careful examination. Para-urethral cysts are the main cause of labial and vestibular tumefactions; they are generally cured by simple puncture. Solid vaginal tumors are uncommon, but they always require surgical resection in order to exclude the exceptional and severe malignant tumours. Neonatal hydrocolpos is frequent in our experience and must always be treated surgically; associated malformations are frequent and must be systematically searched for. Ectopic prolapsed ureterocele and circular prolapse of the urethral mucosa are easily recognizable and need surgical treatment.
