Name vaginal anomalies
vaginal agenesis,
obstruction, duplication, and fusion
What are the features of urogenital sinus anomalies?
urinary and genital tracts open into
a common channel.
What is the feature of cloacal anomalies?
urinary, genital, and anorectal tracts open into a common
channel.
How often do imperforate hymens occur?

When can imperforate hymen, atresia of the vagina or transverse vaginal septum present?
In the newborn or at puberty
What is duplication due to?
Incomplete fusion of Mullerian tracts.
How does one diagnose congenital anomalies?
Physical examination,
ultrasonography,
&
retrograde contrast studies.
Do duplication & fusions anomalies require treatment?
They may not.
What is the second most common cause of primary amenorrhea?
Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome (RKH)
What is Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (RKH)?
Absence of the upper vagina & uterus. The mullerian duct system stops developing at gestational days 44-48.
What is chromosomal analysis to exclude?
It is essential to exclude karyotypic abnormalites of the X chromosome (e.g. Turner syndrome, the most common cause of primary amenorrhea).
What are the acquired vaginal disorders?
Infections/inflammations
Cysts
Endometriosis
Neoplasms
In Utero DES Exposure
Pelvic Relaxation
What are common infections and/or disorders inflammation of the vagina?
Trichomonas vaginalis
Candida albicans
Garnerella vaginalis
Condyloma acuminatum (HPV)
Toxic Shock Syndrome (Staph Aureus)
Atrophic vaginitis
What are the most common type of vaginal cysts?
Vaginal inclusion cysts are the most common. These can form as a result of trauma or following an obgyn procedure.
What is relatively common type of cyst?
Gartner's duct cysts.
A portion of the Wolffian duct remains in the lateral vaginal wall. This duct is active during fetal development but ordinarily disappears after birth in the female of the homo sapiens species.
Where has endometriosis been found (commonly)?
Endometriosis is commonly found in episiotomy sites.
How long has there been a controversy over the origin of endometriosis? (and this is relevant clinically how?)
There has been a 100-year controversy over the origin of this lesion; developmental or acquired.
What has been observed regarding traumatically removed endometrium?
It appears that traumatically removed endometrium can implant in scars.
When can menstrual endometrium implant in the peritoneum?
Retrograde expulsion
Does endometriosis respond to the cycle? How do they respond to it?
Yes, it responds to the cycle & but not like a 12 yo girl to 90s boy band in sync, it is often out of phase with the endometrial cavity.
How will an endometriosis lesion respond to pregnancy or hormonal manipulations?
The lesion will involute.
Why is the risk of Toxic Shock syndrome greater in young people?
Older people are more likely to have the necesary antibodies to the toxin that causes TSS.
What are more than half the reported cases of TSS associated with?
Women using tampons.
What do the other half result from?
Localized infections following burns, boils, insect bites, or surgeries.
What is significant about a benign mixed tumor of the vagina?
It is a rare tumor that may be confused with sarcoma.
What is the median age of occurance of benign mixed tumor?
young women (median age 30 yrs)
Where does the benign mixed tumor typically occur?
In or just above the hymenal ring.
Histologically what size & composition of the benign mixed tumor?
Small (1 to 5 cm in diameter)
Composed of bland spindle-shaped stromal elements admixed with epithelial origin.
What is the origin of spindle-shaped cells & epithelial cells?
Epithelial origin (so says Zaman)
What is the most common type of malignant tumors in the vulva disorders.
Squamous cell carcinoma from cervix with local extenstion. Other sites include vulva, bladder, & rectum.
What are the risk factors for squamous cell carcinoma?
- HPV type 16
- Smoking cigarettes
-Immunodeficiency
Where do squamous cell carcinoma first metastasize to?
Inguinal nodes.
What is sarcoma botryoides (embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma)?
It is a tumor of children, usually younger than 6-years-old, it gets its name from the grape-like clusters it froms.
What is synonym of squamous cell?
epidermoid (Zaman might use the term)
What else is sarcoma botryoides?
submucous rhabdomyosarcoma.
Can a similar tumor to sarcoma botryoides be found in the oral cavity?
Yes.
Adenosis (benign & common)
Adenocarcinoma (clear cell adenocarcinoma) - fortanately rare. What is implicated
Diethylstilbestrol (DES) exposure.
When were diethylstilbestrol (DES) and related drugs (dienestrol & hexestirenol) given ?
To prevent threatened abortions or women with histories of obstetrical difficulties in the mid 1940s.
How many women were exposed to diethylstilbestrol (DES) and related drugs (dienestrol & hexestirenol) ?
It is estimated that over 2 million women were exposed to these drugs.
How much of the exposure can be verified?
Only about 50%.
What happened in the early 1970s?
Vaginal & cervical abnormalities including the rather rare vaginal clear cell adenocarcinoma. This was more frequent in the offspring of mothers who had taken DES during pregnancy.
When is the critical interval of intrauterine DES exposure?
The first eighteen weeks of pregnancy.
What does DES inhibit?
DES inhibits mullerian differentiation of the tubes, uterus, & cervix
What are the most common changes of in utero DES exposure?

Yes upper genital tract changes (uterus) have been documented by hysterosalpingograms)
Menstrual _________ are more common in DES exposed women.
irregularites
What is the most ominous & least common change in DES exposed women?
The development of clear cell carcinoma.
What is the most common changes of DES exposure called?
Adenosis
