TY - JOUR PY - 1994// TI - A biopsied vaginal lesion in a child alleging abuse JO - Medicine, science, and the law A1 - Busuttil, A. SP - 253 EP - 256 VL - 34 IS - 3 N2 - In a six-year-old child presenting with vaginal bleeding, considered to be the consequence of sexual abuse by a stepfather, a colposcopically identified vaginal lesion was biopsied. This showed a chronic inflammatory lesion which could have been the consequence of recurrent, self-inflicted, masturbatory injury. Various controversial aspects of this case are discussed.
