8 Female Reproduction Pathology Flashcards
carcinoma of the cervix
malignant cells withing the cervix, HPV most important cause
carcinoma of the endometrium
malignant tumor of the uterus
endometriosis
endometrial tissue located outside of the uterus
fibroid
benign tumors in the uterus (leiomyomas -smooth muscle tumor)
ovarian carcinoma
malignant tumor of the ovary (adenocarcinoma),
BRCA1 BRCA2 more likely for ovarian and breast cancer
ovarian cysts
collections of fluid within a sac (cyst) in the ovary
Pelvic inflammatory disease PID
inflammation and infection of organs in the pelvic regions; salpingitis, oophoritis, endometritis, endocervicitis
breast cancer
malignant tumor of the breast arising from milk glands and ducts BRCA1 BRCA2
fibrocystic disease
numerous small sacs of fibrous connective tissue and fluid in the breast
abruptio placentae
premature seperation of the implanted placenta, caused by trauma
choriocarcinoma
malignant tumor of the placenta
ectopic pregnancy
implantation of the fertilized egg in any site other than the normal uterine location
multiple gestation
more than one fetus inside the uterus
placenta previa
implantation of the placenta over the cervical opening or in the lower region of the uterus
preeclampsia
abnormal condition associated with pregnancy, marked by high blood pressure, proteinuria, edema, and HA
down syndrome
chromosomal abnormality (trisonomy 21) results in mental retardation, retarded growth, a flat face with short nose, low-set ears, and slanted eyes
erythroblastosis fetalis
hemolytic disease in the newborn (HND) caused by a blood group (Rh factor) incompatibility between the mother and the fetus
hyaline membrane disease
acute lung disease commonly seen in the premature newborn also called respiratory distress syndrome (RDS)
hydrocephalus
accumulation of fluid in the spaces of the brain
meconium aspiration syndrome
abnormal inhalation of meconium (first stool) produced by a fetus or newborn
pyloric stenosis
narrowing of the opening of the stomach to the duodenum
pap test
microscopic examination of stained cells removed from the vagina and cervix
prego test
look for presence of hCG human chorionic gonadotropin
hysterosalpingography
x-ray imaging of the uterus and fallopian tubes after injection of contrast
aspiration
withdrawal of fluid from a cavity or sac with an instrument using suction
colposcopy
visual examination of the vagina and cervix using a colposcope
conization
removal of a cone shaped section of the cervix for biopsy
culdocentesis
needle aspiration of fluid from the cul-de-sac
dilation and curretage (D&C)
widening the cervix and scraping off the endometrial lining of the uterus
exenteration
removal of internal organs within a cavity
chorionic villus sampling (CVS)
sampling of the placenta for prenatal diagnosis
IVF
in vitro fertilization, egg and sperm combined outside of the body
FHR
fetal heart rate
FSH
follicle-stimulating hormone
LH
luteinizing hormone
PMS
premenstrual syndrome
