Q

Vaginal adenosis
and associated with

A

Focal persistence of columnar epithelium in the upper 1/3 of the vagina.
Associated with diethylstilbestrol (DES) exposure in utero(1/3 of the DES-daughters)

52
Q

Vaginal septum
plus types plus how they are formed

A

Can be vertical or transvers.
Transverse result from faulty fusion or canalization of the urogenital sinus and müllerian ducts.
longitudinal vaginal septum forms when the distal ends of the müllerian ducts fail to fuse properly.

53
Q

Vaginal agenesis
types
plus describe the types

A

Mullerian dysgenesis an isolated vaginal agenesis due to incomplete caudal development and fusion of the lower part of the mullerian ducts.

Mullerian agenesis(Mayer–Rokitansky–Kuster–Hauser syndrome) vaginal, uterus and fallopian tubes agenesis.

54
Q

Gartner duact cyst
location anatomical and histological

A

Relatively common lesions found along the lateral walls of the vagina and are derived from wolffian (mesonephric) duct remnant.
They are 1- to 2-cm fluid-filled cysts that occur in the submucosal location.

55
Q

histologically the cysts of gartner duct

A

simple cuboidal to low columnar

56
Q

Primary squamous Cell Carcinoma of vagina
precursor lesion?

A

1% of female genital tract malignancy.
Vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VAIN) is precursor lesion.
High risk HPV is an important risk factor.

69
Q

Screening
types for ICC

A

pap smear
visual inspection with acetic acid
visial inspection with Lugols iodine

70
Q

Visual inspection with acetic acid(VIA)

A

If the cervical epithelium contains an abnormal load of cellular proteins, the acetic acid coagulates the proteins conferring an opaque and white aspect of the concerned area. A precancerous lesion has higher protein content when compared to normal epithelium. As a consequence it becomes white (acetowhite) and is considered to be “VIA positive”.

71
Q

Visual inspection with lugol’s iodine (VILI)

A

Lugol’s iodine, a compound that reacts with glycogen resulting in a brown or black coloration. Normal mature squamous epithelium contains glycogen. When in contact with Lugol’s iodine it becomes black, whereas precancerous lesions and cancer contain little or no glycogen thus turning yellow after Lugol application.

72
Q

Vaccine

A

Gardasil = Quadrivalent ( HPV 6/11/16/18) virus like particle vaccine.
Best given before onset of sexual intercourse
Screening is still not stopped
