| Summary: | This article presents the case of a 4-year-old girl with a painless, bleeding tumor on the genitals. Genital bleeding in prepubertal girls is a red flag. Reasons for bleeding at this age are manifold. In addition to a benign origin, the possibility of physical abuse by a third party must be excluded, but a rare diagnosis such as a urethral prolapse should not be discounted. The diagnosis is usually clinical and can be treated conservatively in most cases. |
