[diagnosis]
lymphocytes or plasma cells in cervical stroma
chronic cervicitis
[diagnosis]
pelvic pain, adnexal tenderness, fever, vaginal discharge
PID
[diagnosis]
gross: leukoplakia of the vulva
thinning of the epidermis, basal cell degeneration, hyperkeratosis, sclerotic changes of superficial dermis, dermal lymphocytic infiltrate
lichen slerosus
[diagnosis]
gross: leukoplakia of the vulva
acanthosis, mitosis, hyperkeratosis, lymphocytic infiltrates
squamous hyperplasia
[diagnosis]
failure of mullerian duct fusion, accompanied by uterine didelphys
septate vagina
vaginal anomaly associated with DES exposure
septate vagina
[diagnosis]
___ cyst
remnant of wolffian or mesonephric duct
gartner duct cyst
most common primary vulvar CA
squamois cell CA
[diagnosis]
patient 4 years old, gross presence of grape-like clusters
sarcoma botryoides
___ term for small, with oval nuclei and tennis racket like appearance with or without striations in sarcoma botryoides
embryonal rhabdomyoblast
[diagnosis]
fibromyxoid stroma, lined by endocervical type epithelium, usually with inflammation
endocervical polyp
[HPV]
Infects: _____ (mature/immature)
Replicates in: ______ (mature/immature)
Infects immature cells
replicates in mature cells
[HPV]
E___ inactivates Rb leading to cell proliferation
E7
[HPV]
E___ inactivates p53 leading to cellular immortality
E6
[diagnosis: CIN]
nuclear atypia with cytoplasmic “halos”, confined to lower third of epithelium
LSIL
[diagnosis: CIN]
nuclear atypia with cytoplasmic “halos”, expansion to upper two-thirds of epithelium
HSIL
[diagnosis]
CIN + invasion beyond the basement membrane
cervical CA
[diagnosis]
infertility, dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain
Gross: subserosal red-blue to yellow brown nodules on sites of involvement, ovaries may be converted to cyst
Histology: endometrial glands and stroma
Cyst lining: hemosiderin-laden macrophages in old hemorrhage, fibrosis
endometriosis
[diagnosis]
chocolate cyst
endometriosis
[diagnosis]
menometorrhagia, colicky dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, premenstrual pelvic pain
gross: symmetrically enlarged corpus, with multiple blood lakes within the myometrium
histo: (+) endometrial stroma, with or without glands, within the myometrium, separated from the decidual basalis by 2 to 3 mm
adenomyosis
[diagnosis]
due to retrograde menstruation
endometriosis
[diagnosis]
exophytic mass that project into endometrial cavity, clinically silent AUB, seen in patient on tamoxifen
endometrial polyp
[diagnosis]
precursor to endometrial CA type I, important cause of AUB
endometrial hyperplasia
most common malignancy of the female genital tract
endometrial carcinoma
[diagnosis]
postmenopausal bleeding, increased exposure to estrogen
endometrial CA
inactivation of this tumor suppressor gene can lead to atypical hyperplasia leading to endometrial CA
PTEN
