Benign Uterus, Cervix, Ovary, and Fallopian Tubes Flashcards
What is the cause of congenital anomalies of the uterus
Failure of paramesonephric ducts to fuse
What is the cause of congenital anomalies of the cervix
Malfusion of the paramesonephric ducts
What is the most common neoplasm of the uterus
Uterine Leiomyoma (Fibroid)
Sx’s = spherical, well-circumscribed, firm lesions with whorled appearance on cut section
Uterine Leiomyoma (Fibroid)
What is the most common indication for a hysterectomy
Uterine Leiomyoma (Fibroid)
What is the first line Tx for Uterine leiomyomas
OCP’s or the ring
Sx’s = menorrhagia, spontaneous/postmenopausal bleeding with thickened endometrial stripe on US
Endometrial polyp
How do Nabothian cervical cysts form
Squamous metaplasia traps columnar cells beneath them while the columnar cells continue to secrete mucus
Sx’s = opaque with yellow/bluish hue
Nabothian cervical cyst
Sx’s = beefy red polyp on cervix that is the most common type and may cause coital bleeding/menorrhagia
Endocervical
Sx’s = pale polyp on cervix that may cause coital bleeding/menorrhagia
Ectocervical
What are the classifications of endometrial hyperplasia and what is their risk of becoming cancerous
Simple w/out atypia = 1%
Complex w/out atypia = 3%
Simple w/ atypia = 9%
Complex w/ atypia = 27%
What are the Sx’s of endometrial hyperplasia
Intermenstrual, heavy/prolonged unexplained bleeding
What is the Tx for the different types of endometrial hyperplasia
W/out atypia = Progestin
W/ atypia = hysterectomy
Def = cyst lined by granulosa cells and d/t failure of ovarian follicle to rupture
Follicular
Def = cyst that develops in CL d/t failure of the CL to regress after 14 days
Lutein
Def = cyst caused by hemorrhage into the CL
Hemorrhagic
