tx w/ topical podophyllin or trichloroacetic acid
condyloma accuminatum
name this type of vulvar neoplasia?
uncommon (3% of all genital cancers in females)
white or pigmented vulvar plaques
vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia
name this type of vulvar neoplasia?
rare lesion
arises from primitive epithelial progenitor cells; generally confined to skin
uncommonly assoc with underlying carcinoma
pruritic, red, well demarcated map like lesion
extramammary Paget disease
name this type of vulvar neoplasia?
<5% of vulvar cancers
peak incidence: 6th and 7th decade
capable of widespread metastasis
malignant melanoma
90% of malignant vaginal neoplasms; 1% of malignancies of female genitals
assoc with VIN; most assoc with HPV
affects the upper, posterior vaginal wall
squamous cell carcinoma
these are rare vaginal tumors
increased in women exposed to DES (diethylstilbestrol) in utero; less than 0.14% will develop this tumor
vaginal adenosine is a probabel precursor

high risk types: 16,18, 31,33
*6,11,16 & 18
what is this type of cervical cancer?
precedes majority of cancers, continuum of morphologic changes; assoc with HPV

what is this type of cervical cancer?
this is the most frequent type
vaginal bleeding
painful coitus
dysuria
3 growth patterns
- fungating
- ulcerating
- infiltrative
spreads via direct continuity
invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)
what type of endometrium disease is this?
presence of endometrial glands or stroma in an abnormal location that generally occur in women of reproductive age
endometriosis
what type of endometrium disease is this?
related to high levels of prolonged estrogenic stimulation with little or absent progestational activity

cortica stroma hyperplasia
endometrial hyperplasia
what type of endometrium disease is this?
most common invasive cancer of the female genital tract; accounts for 7% of invasive cancers in women
most often adenocarcinoma
dysfunctional uterine bleeding
increased estrogen stimulation is the cause
endometrial carcinoma
