FEMALE GENITAL TRACT Flashcards
Occurs in women with intrauterine exposure to DES
Cells have distinct cell membranes,
large
moderate to abundant clear cytoplasm
cuboidal and sometimes hobnail type with nuclei protruding into the lumen
Nuclei are round to irregular, hyperchromatic with conspicuous nucleoli
Clear cell adenocarcinoma
Proliferative/ secretory endometrium?
Gland architecture: straight, tubular
- Gland lining: regular, tall, pseudostratified columnar
- Secretory activity: no evidence of mucus secretion or vacuolation.
- Compact stroma
Proliferative Endometrium
- Diagnosis?
vaginal bleeding, adnexal pain, adnexal mass
- List 2 complications
- Confirmatory test
- Ectopic pregnancy
- a. Hypovolemic shock
- b. Hematosalpinx
- Vaginal USG
Type of cellular adaptation seen in the image
Squamous Metaplasia
- See attached image and name the Tumor marker
- What category of ovarian tumors does it belong to?
- Inhibin
- Sex cord stromal tumors
Morphology of HSV 2 on Tzanck smear
squamous cells containing eosinophilic to basophilic viral inclusions with ground glass appearance.
Bilateral ovarian masses
Microscopy of the ovarian masses show findings seen in the attached image.
Diagnosis?
Most likely primary?
Krukenberg tumor- bilateral metastases
Gastric origin
second most common malignant tumor of germ cell origin
See attached image
What tumor is this?
Marker?
Yolk Sac
Alpha-feto protein
Ovarian neoplasm assoc with the syndrome described below:
Widely spaced nipples, webbed neck, lack of secondary sex charcateristics
Dysgerminoma assoc with Turner Syndrome
1. See the image provided and the clues below and formulate a diagnosis
38 year old female
dysmenorrhea
painful defecation at the time of menstruation
2. What findings would you expect to see in the ovary?
- Endometriosis
- large cystic masses filled with brown fluid
1. Pre eclampsia / eclampsia?
New onset hypertension+ proteinuria + seizures in a primipara in the last trimester
- 2 complications of this condition
- Eclampsia
- HELLP Syndrome; DIC
Know the expansion of HELLP:
Hemolysis
Elevated Liver enzymes
Low Platelets
right upper quadrant pain following the transabdominal spread of infection from pelvic inflammatory disease
violin string adhesions of anterior liver capsule to anterior abdominal wall or diaphragm
liver capsular infection without affecting hepatic parenchyma
Fitz Hugh Curtis Syndrome
painful vaginal bleeding, abdominal or back pain, and fetal compromise
Premature separation of the placenta caused by formation of a retroplacental clot
Diagnosis?
Greatest risk factor?
- Abruptio placenta
- Maternal hypertension
1. Gestational(Placental) /Non gestational(Ovarian) choriocarcinoma?
- Øunresponsive to chemotherapy
Øoften fatal
- Øexists in combination with other germ cell tumors
2. Marker for choriocarcinomas?
- Non gestational choriocarcinoma
- human chorionic gonadotropin
mcc of death in patients with advanced cervical carcinoma
local invasion of ureter, pyelonephritis and renal failure
large, flagellated ovoid protozoan
transmitted by sexual contact
yellow, frothy vaginal discharge
Colposcopy finding: strawberry cervix
Trichomonas vaginalis
Microscopy findings in ovarian dysgerminoma
- large vesicular cells, clear cytoplasm, well-defined cell boundaries, central regular nuclei.
- grow in sheets or cords
- scant fibrous stroma , infiltrated by mature lymphocytes
What’s your diagnosis?
56 year old female with post coital vaginal bleeding assoc with malodorous discharge
Colposcopy shows a fungating mass
Microscopy shown in the attached image.
Cervical Squamous cell carcinoma
WHAT’S THE DIAGNOSIS?
TEMP >101 DEGREE FARENHEIT
ABNORMAL VAGINAL DISCHARGE
CERVICAL MOTION TENDERNESS
ADNEXAL TENDERNESS
PID
Mechanism of carcinogenesis by HPV E6 AND E7?
