Female genital system Flashcards
Bartholin cyst is
Posterior Lateral, unilateral, painful cystic lesion at the lower vestibule
Lichen sclerosis is characterized by
Thinning of the epidermis and fibrosis (sclerosis) of the dermis
White patchs with parchment-like vulvar skin
Lichen Sclerosis simply is
Atrophy and granuloma of vulva
Lichen simplex chronicus is characterized by
Hyperplasia of vulvar squamous epithelium
Lichen simplex chronicus presents as
Leukoplakia with thick, leathery vulvar skin
Extramammary Paget disease characterized by
Malignant epithelial cells in the epidermis of the vulva
Extramammary Paget disease presents as
Erythematous, pruritis, ulcerated vulvar skin
Paget cells are
PAS+
Keratin+
S100-
Melanoma is
PAS-
Keratin-
S100+
Adenosis of Vagina is
Focal persistence of columnar epithelium in the upper 1/3 of the vagina
What increases the risk of Adenosis
Exposure to DES in utero
Clear cell adenocarcinoma is
Malignant proliferation of glands with clear cytoplasm
Complication of DES-associated vaginal adenosis
Cancer from lower 2/3 of vagina goes into
Inguinal Node
Cancer from upper 1/3 of vagina goes to
Iliac Node
CIN 1 involves
Less than 1/3 of the thickness of the epithelium
CIN 2 involves
less than 2/3 of the thickness of the epithelium
CIN 3 involves
Slightly less than the entire thickness of epithelium
Unlikely to reverse
Late complications of Cerivical carcinoma
Invade through the anterior uterine wall into the bladder blocking the ureter
High grade dysplasia in cervical carcinoma is characterized by cells with
Hyperchromatic (dark) nuclei and high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratios
Growth of the endometrium is driven by
Estrogen
(Proliferative phase)
