Female Reproductive System And Breast Flashcards
An inflammatory disease characterized by pruritus and dyspareunia and grossly manifests with white plaques and atrophic skin with a “parchment paper” quality.
Lichen sclerosus
Lichen sclerosus may be a precursor of what carcinoma
Squamous cell carcinoma
The most common form of vaginitis.
Candidiasis (moniliasis)
Characterized by white, patch-like mucosal lesions, a thick white discharge, and vulvovaginal pruritus.
Candidiasis
The major causative agent for bacterial vaginosis
Gardnerella
The most common cause of vaginal discharge.
Bacterial vaginosis (Gardnerella vaginitis)
Characteristically, it is a thin, homogeneous vaginal discharge with a malodorous, fishy amine odor, especially on addition of 10% potassium hydroxide.
Bacterial vaginosis (Gardnerella vaginitis)
“Clue cells” in the Pap smear
Bacterial vaginosis
Causative agent of Lymphogranuloma venereum
C. trachomatis L1, L2, or L3 serotypes
Manifests initially as a small papule or ulcer, followed by superficial ulcers and enlargement of regional lymph nodes, which become matted together. It can lead to rectal stricture as a result of inflammatory reaction and scarring.
Lymphogranuloma venereum
An infection of the vulva and vagina with the pathognomonic histologic findings of cells with the three “Ms”: multinucleation, nuclear molding, and margination of the chromatin.
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections
Causative agent for chancroid
Haemophilus ducreyi
Vulvar or vaginal infection that is characterized by a soft and painful ulcerated lesion
Chancroid
in contrast to the chancre of syphilis, which is firm and painless.
Causative agent for granuloma inguinale
Calymmabacterium (Donovania) granulomatis
Donovan bodies are seen in
Granuloma inguinale
The most common benign tumor of the vulva.
Papillary hidradenoma
This tumor originates from apocrine sweat glands.
Koilocytes are seen in
Condyloma acuminatum
Expanded epithelial cells with perinuclear clearing
The most common malignant tumor of the vulva.
Squamous cell carcinoma
A benign condition characterized by mucosal columnar epithelium-lined crypts in areas normally lined by stratified squamous epithelium, and is thought to be a precursor of clear cell adenocarcinoma.
Vaginal adenosis
A rare variant of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma with presenting features of multiple polypoid masses resembling a “bunch of grapes” projecting into the vagina, often protruding from the vulva.
Sarcoma botryoides
Cervicitis most often involves
Endocervix
4 HPV types that are frequently associated with cervical dysplasia or cancer
16, 18, 31, 33
Most common cervical cancer
SCC
