Gynecology Flashcards
Most common large cyst of the vulva
BARTHOLIN’S GLAND CYST
Most common benign solid tumors of the vulva
FIBROMA
Rare, small, benign vulvar tumor that originates from apocrine sweat glands of the inner surface of the labia majora and nearby perineum
HIDRADENOMA
A very rare, cystic, asymptomatic, benign adenoma of the eccrine sweat glands.
SYRINGOMA
Chronic eruption of shiny, violaceous papules that involves inner aspects of the vulva
LICHEN PLANUS
Whitish change in vulvar skin wherein epithelium becomes markedly thinned with loss or blunting of the rete ridges and with “cigarette paper” appearance
LICHEN SCLEROSUS
Most frequent non-squamous cells malignancy of the vulva
Melanoma
Most commonly used treatment for VAIN
CO2 laser vaporization
Vaporizes the abnormal tissue without shortening or narrowing the vagina
Topical medication for VAIN
5-FU cream
Treatment of choice for VAIN
Wide local excision (upper vaginectomy)
Most common vaginal malignancy
Metastatic (primary is rare)
Dysontogenic cyst in the anterior lateral wall of the vagina that arises from mesonephros
Gartner duct cyst
Dysontogenic cyst in the upper half of the vagina that arises from perimesonephrium
Mullerian cyst
Dysontogenic cyst in the vagina that arises from urogenital sinus
Vestibular cyst
Most troublesome type of myoma clinically
Submucosal (prone to bleeding and distort the uterine cavity)
T or F: Leiomyoma has capsule
False. No true capsule. Only pseudocapsule
Most common degeneration on leiomyoma
Hyaline; also the mildest
Classic sign of leiomyosarcoma
Disturbing symptoms after menopause
Associated disease in leiomyoma wherein benign smooth muscle fiber severely invade the venous channels of the pelvis and abdominal peritoneum resembling spaghetti tumor grossly
Intravenous leiomyomatosis
Associated disease in leiomyoma which is a benign disease with multiple small nodules over the surface of the pelvic and abdominal peritoneum
Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata
Most common location of endometrial polyps
Fundus
Most common location of leiomyoma in the uterus
Body of the uterus
Uterine mass that appears as swiss cheese cystic hyperplasia
Endometrial polyp
Endometrial hyperplasia with grearest pre-malignant potential
Atypical complex hyperplasia
Most active single agent in treatment of leiomyosarcoma
Doxorubicin
Normal length of cervix
2-3 cm
Lines the endocervical canal
Single layer of columnar epithelium
Cervical layer where thete is large nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio with immature cells
Parabasal layer
Cervical layer where there is several layers of cuboidal cells and with presence of mitotic figures (active division)
Parabasal layer
Cervical layer that is obtained during absence of hormones such as in menopause
Parabasal layer
Cervical layet that is mostly seen in secretory phase and in pregnancy
Intermediate layer
Cervical layer that is related to progesterone predominance
Intermediate layer
Cervical layer where nucleus is small or pyknotic nuclei
Superficial layer
Most mature cervical layet
Superficial layer
Cervical layer that is related to estrogen predominance and obtained during proliferative phase
Superficial layer
Special intermediate cells in the cervix during pregnancy
Navicular cells
