HY - female and male path Flashcards
unilateral cystic lesion in vestibule
bartholin cyst
how do you determine if HPV infection is low or high grade?
DNA sequence b/c DNA virus - HR are 16, 18, 31, 33 with high risk of developing cancer
What do low risk HPV 6, 11 lead to?
condyloma
warty neoplasm with koilocytic change that rarely progresses to carcinoma
condyloma due to HPV 6 or 11
parchment-like vulvar skin in postmenopaulsal women
lichen sclerosis
white patch with thick, leathery vulvar skin
lichen simplex chronicus
hyperplasia due to chronic irritation of vulva
lichen simplex chronicus
patient has leukoplakia on vulva, what is your DDx?
lichen simplex chronicus, lichen sclerosis and vulvar carcinoma
what are two etiologies of vulvar carcinoma?
HPV related (16, 18, 31, 33) and non-HPV (lichen sclerosis, although rare)
erythematous, pruritic, ulcerated skin of vulva due to malignant epithelial cells in epidermis
extramammary paget disease
vulvar lesion that is PAS + keratin + and S100 -
paget cells, non-mamilly paget carcinoma
vulvar lesion that is PAS - keratin - and S100 +
melanoma of vulva
defining stain for melanoma
S100
keratin + means what type of cancer?
epithelial cells = carcinoma
when patient has paget’s disease of vulva, is there likely underlying malignancy?
no; this is unlike paget disease of nipple where there is certainly underlying malignancy
what is lower 1/3 vagina derived from
urogenital sinus
what is upper 2/3 vagina derived from
mullerian duct = columnar cells replaced by squamous cells of urogenital sinus
what do we call persistence of columnar cells in vagina?
adenosis; common in DES
what can adenosis lead to?
clear cell adenocarcinoma; associated with DES; malignant proliferation of glands with clear cytoplasm
embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma
bleeding grape-like mass protruding from vagina or penis of a child, usually child < 5 y/o
child with tumor protruding from vagina + cytoplasmic cross-striations on histo
rhabdomyoblast derived embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma
vaginal carcinoma in lower 1/3 will spread to what LN?
inguinal nodes
vaginal cancer that goes to iliac nodes is in what part of vagina?
upper 2/3
what does E6 of HPV do?
increases destruction of p53
what does E7 of HPV do?
increases destruction of Rb
what is key feature that differentiates dysplasia from carcinoma?
reversibility
middle-aged woman presenting with vaginal bleeding most likely has what
cervical carcinoma
risks of cervical carcinoma?
high risk HPV, smoking, immunodeficiency
what is an advanced finding of cervical carcinoma?
invasion through anterior wall into bladder with hydronephrosis
where must you take biopsy in pap?
transformation zone, where HPV is attracted to
is pap good for adenocarcinoma detection?
NO
what are you protecting against with quadrivalent HPV vaccination?
6, 11, 16, 18 - still need to do paps because could get disease from many others
loss of what hormone leads to shedding of endometrium
progesterone
uterus goes through 3 stages: growth, preparation, and shedding. which hormones are responsible for each phase?
growth = estrogen, preparation = progesterone, shedding = looss of progesterone
what can cause secondary amenorrhea due to loss of basalis and scarring?
over aggressive D&C; Asherman Syndrome
