EDITORIAL COMMENT: The editor has never seen a urinary tract vulval mass like this. However, in 1963 at the Austin Hospital, Melbourne, he saw and unfortunately failed to photograph, a pink vulval mass in a woman with paraplegia who had turned her bladder inside out and passed it per urethra like an intussusception. The nature of the mass became apparent when urine spurted from the ureteric orifices. This woman was managed by a urologist by ureteric transplantation into an ileal loop.
