Cervix vagina vulva path Flashcards
lichen simplex chronicus
secondary to chronic inflammation and itching
thikened hyperketatoic and white plaques
thikened epithelium with chronic inflammation
NO known prediliction for carcnoma

invasive sqaumous cell carcinom of vaginaa preceded by
vulvar dysplasia (VIN)
reactive changes (lichen sclerosus)
HPV vaccine makeup
HPV l1 protein, th major capsid protein of HPV
sqaumocolumnar junction =
trasnformation zone
vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) =
precancerous lesion of vulva
high risk HPV
(VIN 1-3 depending on dysplasia)
progression to squamosu cell carcnionma
sqaumous cell dysplasia of vagina =
VAIN (1-3)
possible porgression to squamous carcinoma
quadravalent HPV vaccine covers
6 11 16 18
extrammammary paget’s disease =
red scaly plaques on labia
characterized by large pale glandular cells in epidermis

dysplaysia in CIN characterized by
nuclear atypia
ncreased N:C ratio abundant mytoses
cervical pap smear cytology screening begins at
21
cotesting with/without HIgh risk HPV after age 30
endocervical polyps morphology
glandular or metaplastic squamous lining
dilated glands with mucus
may blled (ulceration or infalmmation)
no malignnat potential




sarcoma botryoides (embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma) presentation and appearance
infants and young children
soft, polypoid masses in vagina
urinary bladder and bile ducts also possible
characterized by primitive cells
HPV pathogenesis
squamous cell strains replicated DNA ? express E6 and E7
E6 binds p53, E7 binds Rb > promote growth and carinogenesis
cervical polyps arise from
characterized by
arise from endocercvical glands
characterized by glandular or metaplastic squamous epithelium
ecto cervix epithelium
stratified squamous nonkeratinized
CIN is caused by ___
divisions of CIN
preceded by HPV
C1 - basal 1/3 of epeithelium dysplastic
CIN 2 = 2/3
CIN 3 = full thickness
carcinomal arising in endocervical glands
adenocarcinoma
vulvar strucutres that secerte mucus
bartholin’s glands
vulvitis =
infection from bacterial, fungal or viral
nonspecific chronic inflammation of mucosal surfaces )vulvar vestibulitis)
Lichen sclerosus =
premenarchal and post menopausal age group
pruritc and thin papery skin
fibrotic dermis, loss of skin appendages, chronic inflam infiltrate
possible development of squamous cell carcinoma
clear cell carcinoma associated with
maternal DES expsoure
Vaginal adenosis can progress to clear cell carcinoma
