Lesions & Bulges/swelling Of Vulva,vagina, Urethra

Front 1

epidermoid cyst

Back 1

a small, firm, round cystic nodule in the labia. these are yellowish in color. look for dark punctum marking the blocked opening of the gland

Front 2

venereal wart (condyloma acuminatum)

Back 2

warty lesions on the labia and within the vestibule. result from infection with HPV

Front 3

syphilitic chancre

Back 3

firm, painless ulcer. because most of these develop internally, they often go undetected

Front 4

secondary syphilis (condyloma latum)

Back 4

slightly raised, round or oval, flat topped papules covered by a gray exudate. constitute one manifestation and are contagious

Front 5

genital herpes

Back 5

shallow, small, painful ulcers on red bases. initial infection may be extensive. recurrent infections usually are confined to a small local patch

Front 6

carcinoma of the vulva

Back 6

ulcerated or red raised vulvular lesion in elder women

Front 7

cystocele

Back 7

bulge of the upper 2/3 of the anterior vaginal wall, together with the bladder above it. results from weakened supporting tissues

Front 8

cystourethrocele

Back 8

when entire anterior vaginal wall, together with the bladder and urethra, is involved in the bulge, a cystourethrocele is present. a groove sometimes defines the border between urethrocele and cystocele, but is not always present

Front 9

urethral caruncle

Back 9

small, red, benign tumor visible at the psoterior part of the urethral meatus. occurs chiefly in postmenopausal women and usually causes no symptoms. occasionally, a carcinoma of the urethra is mistaken for this. to check, palpate urethra through vagina for thickening, nodularity, or tenderness, and feel for inguinal lymphadenopathy

Front 10

prolapse of urethral mucosa

Back 10

forms a swollen, red ring around the urethral meatus. usually occurs before menarche or after menopause. identify urethral meatus at the center of the swelling to make this diagnosis

Front 11

Bartholin's gland infection

Back 11

trauma, gonococci anaerobes like bacteroides and peptostreptococci, and chlamydia trachomatis. Acutely, appears as a tense, hot, very tender abscess. Look for pus coming out of the duct or erythema around the duct opening. Chronically, a nontender cyst is felt. May be large or small

Front 12

rectocele

Back 12

herniation of the rectum into the posterior wall of the vagina, resulting from a weakness or defect in the endopelvic fascia

Front 13

columnar epitheliam

Back 13

deep red, plushy. continuos with the endocervical lining

Front 14

squamous epithelium

Back 14

shiny and pink. resembles vaginal epithelium

Front 15

retention cyst

Back 15

blocked secretions of columnar epithelium. appear as translucent nodules on the cervical surface and have no pathologic significance

Front 16

cervical polyp

Back 16

usually arises from endocervical canal, becoming visible when it protrudes through cervical os. bright red, soft, and rather fragile. benign but may bleed
