Q

didelphys

A

when mularian ducts do not fuse -> two uterus’, 2 vaginas different from bicornate bc bicornate only has one vagina slightly higer risk for 2-3rd trimester spontaneous abortions DO NO have higher rate of twins or PID

A

mulluscum contagiosum

cytoplasmic pink inclusions representing clusters of large virus with nucleus pushed to the side

central concavity can be seen

38
Q

PID definition

A

infection of pelvic organs beyond the uterine corpus

39
Q

most common causes of PID

A

gonorrhea and chlamydia

most infections are polymicrobial

40
Q

complications of PID

A

rupture of tuboovarian abscess

infertility form scarring of tubes

ectopic pregnancy

intestinal obstruction from fibrous bands and adhesions

41
Q

subclinical PID

A

common cause of serious sequelae

up to 1/3 of infertility women w/o Hx of PID have underlying chlamydia infection

42
Q

fitz-hugh curtis syndrome

A

perihepatitis

infection of liver capsule and peritoneal surfaces

can be complication of PID

43
Q

salpingitis

A

fallopian tube plicae expanded by inflammatory infiltrate and edema

if acute filled with neutrophils, if chronic filled with plasma cells

44
Q

bartholin gland cyst

A

obstuction of duct -> cyst

common

all ages can become infected

may be polymicrobial or gonorrhea or chlamydia

Tx must place catheter or sew open to allow continuous drainage

45
Q
A

lichens planus

pruitic, polygonal, purple, plaques

usually symetrical

ususally goes away in 1-2 yrs, so just tx itch

46
Q
A

wickhams striae of lichen planus

47
Q
A

lichen planus

note band of chronic inflammatory cells at dermal-epidermal jnx

also squamous epi is normal thickness

48
Q
A

lichen sclerosus aka LS&A

elderly and post menopausal females

unknown etiology, maybe autoimmune

atrophic change

not considered precancerous, but 4% increased risk of CA development

49
Q
A

lichen sclerosis

50
Q
A

lichen sclerosis

note white ‘parchment like’ areas

51
Q
A

lichen sclerosis

no band of inflammatory cells, rather a significant band of hylinization

also thickened epi layer

52
Q
A

lichen simplex chronicus

squamous hyperplasia and acanthosis

NO CYTOLOGICAL ATYPIA (if there were is would be VIN)

usually dt chronic scratching

53
Q
A

LSC

54
Q

CONDYLOMA ACUMINATUM

A

venereal warts

90% HPV 6,11 (low risk)

10% HPV 16,18,33 (high risk for VIN 2-3 and carcinoma)

55
Q

gross appearance of Condyloma Acuminatum

A

frequently multiple and papillary warts, occasional flat

56
Q

histo of Condyloma Acuminatum

A

koilicytosis, mitoses

57
Q

Tx of Condyloma Acuminatum

A

cryo, chemical, laser, or excision

58
Q
A

Condyloma Acuminatum

note flat white leukoplakia and multifocal

on histo exam would see hyperkeratosis, thickened epi, and peri-nuclear clearing

59
Q
A

condylomata

warty type

cauliflower multifocal papules

60
Q
A

condylomata

coalescing papules aka bowenoid papulosis

typical in low grade infections

61
Q
A

koilocytosis of Condyloma Acuminatum

radinoid nuclei with surrounding cleared area

low grade infection

if high grade would also see nuclear enlargement

62
Q

VIN

A

vulvar intraepithelial neoplasm

1-3

3 = CIS

63
Q

VIN 1-3 determination

A

determined by what thickness has been invaded with nucelar enlarged cells

moderate (VIN2) = half thickness

if VIN 2 or 3 must be excised

64
Q

invasice SCC of vulva

A

90% of invaseive vulvar CA

usually presents as nodules/masses on background of leukoplakia

an ulcerated mass is CA until proven otherwise

65
Q

type 1 SCC of vulva

A

60%

warty and bowenoid type

HPV 16,18, 33

occurs in reproductive age women

66
Q

type 2 vulvar SCC

A

40% keratinizing type

not HPV associated

may occur in long-standing LS&A or chronic inflammation

67
Q

spread of SCC

A

local invasion with lymphovascular spreas to region nodes followed by mets to lung, liver, etc

68
Q

tx of SCC

A

VULVECTOMY AND LYMPHADECTOMY

69
Q

Glandular lesions of vulva

A

accessory breast tissue along milk line

papillary hidradenoma

extramammary paget disease

70
Q

papillary hidradenoma

A

sharply circumscribed nodule in vulva with normal overlying skin

considered benign

has 2 layers of cells (columnar and myoepithlium)

71
Q

extramammary pagets disease

A

presents as pruitic, red, crusted sharply demarcated area on labia majora of elderly

unlike paget disease of breast, does not have underlying carcinoma tumor mass, but IS malignant

aride form primitive germinal cells of mammary like gland ducts in skin

72
Q

Dx pagets

A

halo cells (epidermal appendages)

PAD, Mucin, CEA, EMA, all postive

usually confined to epi and skin appendages

low potential for mets

73

wide local excision

may recur

look for synchronous tumors of breast, rectum, bladder, ovary

usuallly poor prognosis

S-100 and Melanin-A +

75
Q

DES

A

given to women with miscarriages 40s-70s

it affects adenosis (process by which glandular epi of embryo is replaced by squamous)

some affected daughters developed CCC of vagina

also have increased risk for CIN and VIN and maybe breast CA

76
Q

generalizations of vaginal neoplasms

A

80% mets

most primary are SCC which arises from Vaginal intraepithelial neoplasm (VaIN)

almost all d/t HPV16
