Q

detection of cervical ca

A
  1. low grade and high grade dysplasia on Pap tsmear is followed up with a colposcopy for biopsy

  3. IF ASCUS –> perform HPV testing –> hpv (+) –> colposcopy. IF (-) –> pap at 6 months

prepubertal girls + perimenopausal or postmenopausal women

40
Q

Liches planus - appearance and treatment

A
  • violet flat papules

- topical steroids

41
Q

vulvar lichen sclerosus - treatment

A

superpotent costicosteroid ointment

42
Q

vulvar lichen sclerosus - workup

A

punch biopsy of adult onset lesions to exclude malignancy

43
Q

atrophic vaginitis vs lichen sclerosus regarding treatment

A

atrophic –> low dose topical estrogen

lichen –> high potency topical steroids

44
Q

atrophic vaginitis vs lichen sclerosus regarding clinical features

A

atrophic –> vluvlovaginal dryness, loss of vaginal elasticity/rugae, thinning vulvar skin/loss of minora, decreased vaginal diameter
lichen –> white vulvar plaques/loss of minora/ dryness, pruritus, perianal involvement, spares vagina

45
Q

vaginal SCC - RF / diagnosis

A

RF: HPV 16 + 18, smoking, history of cervical dysplasia or cancer
diagnosis by biopsy

46
Q

vaginal cancer - SCC vs clear cell adeno regarding location

A

SCC: upper 1/3 of posterior wall
clear: upper 1/3 of anterior

47
Q

RF for vaginal SCC

A

HPV

48
Q

Bartholin gland cyst - location

A

lateral sides of the vulva

49
Q

Bartholin gland cyst - presentation

A

secrete mucus and can become obstructed leading to a cyst or abscess that causes:
1. PAIN 2. TENDERNESS 3. DYSPAREUNIA

50
Q

Bartholin gland cyst - physical exam

A

edema and inflammation of the area with a deep fluctuant mass

51
Q

Bartholin gland cyst - treatment

A

if asymptomatic –> nothing
IF SYMPTOMATIC –> incision and drainage –> if continue to recur –> marsupialization
culture the fluid (for STDs)

52
Q

marsupialization?

A

it is a form of incision and drainage in which the open space is kept open with sutures –> this allows the space to remain open, and decreases the risk of a recurrent Bartholin gland cyst

53
Q

cervical mucus secreation

A

close to ovulation –> increases in quantity and can be perceived by patients as vaginal discharge –> mucus is clear, elastic thin and described similar in appearance to an uncooked egg white –> facilitate sperm transport into the uterus

57
Q

types of vaginitis and presentation

A

bacterial –> vaginal discharde with fishy ofor, gray white
candidiasis –> white cheesy vaginal discharge

A

bacterial –> metronidazole or clindamycin
candidiasis –> miconazole or clotrimazole, econazole, nystatin

62
Q

vulva - paget disease - diagnosis

A

biopsy to confirm

63
Q

A
  • radical vulvectomy for bilateral lesion

- modified vulvectomy for unilateral lesion

A
  1. pruritus
  2. bloody vaginal discharge
  3. postmenopausal
65
Q

Squamous cell carcinoma of vulva - appearance

A

from small ulcerated lesion to a large cauliflowerlike lesion

66

A

unilateral lesion without lymph node: modified radical vulvectomy
bilateral lymph node: radical vulvectomy
lymph nodes that are involved must undergo lymphadenectomy

69

in contrast to Bartholin cysts, Gartner duct cysts …

A

do not involve the valvula

71
Q

Bartholin cysts present as ….. / treatment

A

soft, mobile, well-circumscribed masses at the base of labia majora and are usually asymptomatic
treatment: observation if asymptomatic, if symptomatic –> incision and drainage

72
Q

Management of CIN3

A

if older than 25 and not currently pregnant –> loop electrosurgical excision procedure or cold Knife conization or cryoablation –> Pap test with HPV 1 and 2 years postprocedure
