Corpus of the uterus
- What type of leiomyoma is most symptomatic?
Submucosal leiomyomas
- What is the standard treatment for adenomyosis?
Hysterectomy

- What is the most common solid benign ovarian tumor?
Fibroma
- What syndrome involves an ovarian fibroma, ascites, and pleural effusion?
Meigs syndrome
- What is the diagnostic tool of choice for leiomyomas?
Ultrasound
- What is the most common degeneration seen in myomas?
Hyaline degeneration
- What is the first-line treatment for submucosal leiomyomas with abnormal bleeding?
Hysteroscopy
- What is the gold standard imaging technique for differentiating myomas from adenomyosis?
MRI
- What type of nevus has a high risk of turning into melanoma?
Dysplastic nevus
- What are the hallmark features of lichen simplex chronicus?
Leathery appearance, exaggerated skin markings, scaling
- What is the common management of pruritus from lichenification?
Improve hygiene, topical steroids, and moisturizers
- What condition is characterized by repeated itch-scratch cycles leading to thickened skin?
Lichen simplex chronicus
- How can one differentiate a nevus from melanoma?
Nevus is symmetric with even color and sharp borders, while melanoma is asymmetric with irregular borders and color variation.
- What condition results from blunt trauma to the vulva, such as during bicycling?
Vulvar hematoma
- What is the most common complication of straddle injuries in children?
Vulvar hematoma
- What is the typical size range of a vulvar fibroma?
1-10 cm, but may grow larger
- What condition presents with postcoital vaginal pain and transverse tears?
Vaginal trauma (e.g., laceration of the posterior fornix)
- What is the most common dermatologic problem of the vulva?
Pruritus
- What is a predisposing factor for postcoital lacerations in postmenopausal women?
Vaginal atrophy due to estrogen deficiency
- What is the most common symptom of cervical myomas?
Dysuria, urgency, or cervical obstruction
- Why does cervical stenosis lead to hematometra?
Obstruction of cervical outflow traps menstrual blood in the uterus.
- How does tamoxifen increase the risk of endometrial polyps?
It stimulates the endometrial lining, causing hyperplasia.
- What distinguishes a subserosal leiomyoma from a submucosal leiomyoma?
Subserosal leiomyomas grow outward and may cause “knobby uterus,” while submucosal leiomyomas distort the endometrial cavity.
- What imaging modality is used to confirm a prolapsed submucosal leiomyoma?
Hysteroscopy

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) or hormonal therapy
- What is the main distinguishing feature of adenomyosis on ultrasound?
Diffuse thickening of the myometrium with heterogenous texture
- What is the most common type of benign ovarian cyst in reproductive-age women?
Follicular cyst
- What is the classic triad of Meigs syndrome?
Ovarian fibroma, ascites, and pleural effusion
- Why are fallopian tube lesions such as hydatid cysts clinically significant?
They can cause torsion or mimic ovarian pathology.
- What is the most common torsion-related complication in adnexal masses?
Ovarian torsion
- What are the clinical features of a ruptured corpus luteum cyst?
Sudden lower abdominal pain, intraperitoneal bleeding, and timing around day 20-26 of the cycle
- What benign ovarian tumor may contain hair, teeth, or cartilage?
Dermoid cyst (mature cystic teratoma)
