[Neurinoma in the area of an episiotomy scar. A case report].

Neuromas are caused by lesions of intact nerves. They are defective regenerates and are characterised by benign neoplastic proliferation. Little is known about the presence of neuromas in episiotomy scars or at the vulva.

Fibronectin in the plasma during pregnancy and parturition.

Fibronectin can be detected in the plasma and the extracellular matrix of the uterus of pregnant women. Studies so far have compared individual observations, whilst serial investigations during pregnancy, and during and after parturition have not been carried out. Plasma fibronectin levels were measured in 153 women with healthy pregnancies in relation to the gestational age.
