Question
Answer
endometriosis   characterized by the prsence and proliferation of ectopic endometrial tissue; non-neoplastic and has no relation to endometrial cancer  
🗑
endometriosis   may be caused by retrograde dissemination of endometrial fragments through the fallopian tube during menstruation; occurs most often in the pelvic area; manifest clinically by severe menstural related pain  
🗑
endometrial hyperplasia   abnormal proliferation of endometrial glands, usualy caused by excess estrogen stimulation; most often manifest clinically by postmenopausal bleeding; sometimes a precursor lesion of endometrial atypia  
🗑
leiomyoma   most common uterine tumor and most common of all tumors in women  
🗑
leiomyoma   benign neoplasm, is estrogen sensitive; often increases in size during pregnancy and decrfeases following menopause  
🗑
endometrial carcinoma   most common gynocological malignancy, occurs in older age group (55-65); predisposed by prolonged estrogen stimulation, obesity, diabetes, and HTN  
🗑
bartholin cyst   due to obstruction of bartholin ducts, can be secondarily infected, most often by N. gonorrheae or, less often, staph  
🗑
vulvar dystrophies   group of disorders of epithelial growth that often present with leukoplakia  
🗑
lichen sclerousus and hyperplastic dystrophy of vulva   no malignant potential  
🗑
Atypical hyperplastic dystrophy of vulva   premalignant ; pruiritis and leukoplakia  
🗑
candidiasis   most common form of vaginitis, cuased by candida albicans (normal flora)  
🗑
candidiasis   assocaited with DM, pregnancy, broad spectrum antibiotic therapy, oral contraceptive use and immunosuppresion  
🗑
candidiasis   white, patch like mucosal lesion, thick white discharge and pruritus  
🗑
papillary hidradenoma   most common benign tumor of vuvla; originates from apocrine sweat glands; presents as a labial nodule; may ulcerate. cured by excision  
🗑
condyloma acuminatum   benign squamous cell papilloma caused by HPV(usually 6 and 11), multiple wart like lesions  
🗑
condyloma acuminatum   characterized histologically by koilocytes, expanded epithelial cells twith perinuclear clearing  
🗑
squamous cell carcinoma   most common malignant tumor of the vulva, peak occurence in older women, may be preceded by vulvar dystrophy; often associated with HPV infection type 16,18,31,33  
🗑
sarcoma botryoides   rare variant of rhabdomyosarcoma; occurs in children younger than 5, presens as multiple polypoid masses resembling a bunch of grapes projecting into vagina, often protruding from the vulva  
🗑
leiomyosarcoma   bulky tumor with areas of necrosis and hemorrhage, typically arising de novo  
🗑
leiomyosarcoma   highly aggressive tumor with tendancy to recur, may protrude from the cervix and bleed  
🗑
polycystic ovarian syndrome   stein-leventhal syndrome  
🗑
polycystic ovarian syndrome   increased LH production leads to anovulation, hyperandrogenism due to deranged steroid synthesis; manifests clinically by amenorrhea, infertility, obesity and hirsutism  
🗑
follicular cysts   distension of unruptured graafian follicle. may be associated with hyperestrinism and endometrial hyperplasia  
🗑
corpus luteum cysts   hemorrhage into sorpus luteum, menstrual irregularity  
🗑
theca-lutein cysts   often bilateral and multiple. due to gonadotropin stimulation. Associated with choriocarcinoma and moles  
🗑
chocolate cysts   blood containing cyst from ovarian endometriosis  
🗑
dysgerminoma   analogous to male seminoma  
🗑
yolk sac tumor   similar to testicular from; produces alpha feto protein  
🗑
choriocarcinoma   like testicular version; increased human chorionic growth factor  
🗑
teratoma   all 3 germ layers. mature teratoma is benign. immature teratoma is an aggressive malignant tumor  
🗑
struma ovarii   contains functional thyroid tissue  
🗑
serous cystadenoma   bilateral, lined with fallopian tube like epithelium; benign  
🗑
serous cystadenocarcinoma   malignant, frequently bilateral  
🗑
mucinous cystadenoma   multilocular cysts lined by mucus-secreting epithelium; benign  
🗑
mucinous cystadenocarcinoma   malignant  
🗑
brenner tumor   benign, resembles bladder epithelium  
🗑
ovarian fibroma   bundles of spindle shapted fibroblasts  
🗑
meigs syndrome   triad of ovarian fibroma, ascites, hydrothorax  
🗑
granulosa cell tumor   secretes estrogen causing precocious puberty or endometrial hyperplasia, call- exner bodies  
🗑
dysplasia and carcinoma in situ   disordered epithelial growth begins at basal layer and extends outward, classified by extent of dysplasia (CIN1-3) associated with HPV. may progress to invasive carcinoma  
🗑
invasive carcinoma   often squamous cell carcinoma  
🗑
benign prostatic hyperplasia   may be due to age related increase in estradiol with the possible sensitization of the prostate by DHT; characterized by nodular enlargment of periurethral lobes, compressing urethra to slit  
🗑
prostatic adenocarcinoma   arises most often from posterior lobe and is more frequently diagnosed by digital rectal exam. osteoblastic metastases in bone may develop in late stages  
🗑
seminoma   malignant germ cell tumor, mid 30's age group, painless enlargment of the testes, sometimes associated with incresed serum hCG, is radiosensitive  
🗑
fibrocystic disease   presents with diffuse brest pain and multiple lesions, bilateral, usually does not indicate increase risk for carcinoma  
🗑
fibrosis   hyperplasia of stroma  
🗑
cystic   fluid filled  
🗑
sclerosing   increased acini and intralobular fibrosis  
🗑
epithelial hyperplasia   increase in number of epithelial layers in terminal duct lobule, increased risk of carcinoma with atypical cells, occurs >30 years  
🗑
fibroadenoma   most common tumor, < 25 years; small, mobile, firm mass with sharp edges, increased size and tenderness during pregnancy  
🗑
cstosarcoma phyllodes   large, bulky mass of connective tissue and cysts. tumor may have leaf like projections  
🗑
