Ligneous conjunctivitis involving the cervix. Case report

A 23-year-old nulliparous woman was examined in the colposcopy clinic at the Royal Northern Hospital, London, in January 1987. She had had a persistent and intermittently offensive vaginal discharge for 3 years. Each time examination had revealed a necrotic, fibrinous, exophytic growth obscuring most of the cervix and posterior fornix. Of note in her past medical history was that she had suffered from a persistent membranous conjunctivis during the first 3 years of life
