43
Q

What can be seen histologically in endometriosis?

A

Chocolate cysts

44

45
Q

What are the two most comon non-neoplastic tubal diseases? And their principal complications?

A

Salpingitis and endometriosis; can result in tubal infertility and ectopic pregnancy

46
Q

What is the most common cause of abnormal vaginal bleeding in reproductive age females?

Benign, proliferations of smooth muscle arising from the myometrium

49
Q

What is the most common tumor in females?

50
Q

Why do leiomyomas enlarge during pregnancy and shrink after menopause?

A

Because they are related to estrogen exposure
