Androgen-producing ovarian tumors are rare


Arrhenoblastoma is most common type (see ovarian tumors)
Hyperthecosis (of the ovary)

probably represents severe form PCOS / try meds, but oophorectomy may be necessary



Adrenal tumors


adenomas or carcinomas may produce excess androgens (+ or – cortisol)

Diagnosis: high levels of adrenal androgens (urinary 17-ketosteroids, serum DHEA) that cannot be suppressed by dexamethasone suggest

Labs: 24-hr urinary 17-ketosteroid level > 50-100 mg strongly suggestive
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (see other)
Idiopathic hirsutism

poorly understood but common / mild hirsutism and sometimes acne, menstrual irregularities



Labs: T high-normal or slightly elevated, or elevated T (with decreased SHBG) and adrenal androgens

Ovaries are otherwise normal



Treatment: E-P combinations, steroids, spironolactone (1st choice), ?metformin sometimes decrease the androgen levels and symptoms
psammoma bodies

epithelial inclusion cysts

serous ovarian tumor

papillary carcinoma of thyroid

meningioma
key point

candida and tuberculosis are NOT sexually transmitted
Infections of Female Genital Tract

Peri-genital


Chancroid (see other)
LGV (see other)
Molluscum contagiosum (see micro)

unclassified poxvirus


Insects: scabies, crab lice
Vulva
Yeast infections (vulvovaginal)

common / not an STD / white patches

Risk Factors: antibiotic use, DM, obesity, oral contraceptives, pregnancy

HSV-1, HSV-2 (vulvovaginal)


ground-glass nuclei or eosinophilic intranuclear inclusions (cowdry A) / fatal infection of neonate
Bartholin’s cyst

abscess associated with gonorrhea


Condyloma acuminatum [pic][dermis]

STD / koilocytosis / HPV 6, 11 / no atypical mitoses


Extramammary Paget’s Disease

20% have underlying adenocarcinoma / velvety-red lesions / local excision if no mets / high recurrence


Vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN)

peaks in 50s – 60s / HPV-16 predominates (80-90%), lesions in younger women usually more aggressive



Presentation: pruritis, vulvodynia

Diagnosis: multiple punch biopsies

Treatment: wide local excision or laser vaporization

Follow-up: colposcopy ever 3 months (then every 6 months after 2 years)

precursor to squamous carcinoma (10%)
Vulvar Cancer

5% of gynecological malignancies / epidermoid (85-90%), malignant melanoma (5-10%), basal cell carcinoma (2-3%), sarcomas (<1%), fibrous histiocytomas

associated with diabetes, hypertension, obesity, vulvar dystrophies, granulomatous PID

Staging: I - lower 1/3 II - lower 2/3 III- over 2/3 / 25% with positive nodes will have none on physical exam / 5 yr survival with 1 node (90%), 2 nodes (75%), 3 nodes (15%)

Treatment: surgical resection +/- radiation / lymphadenectomy not helpful for melanoma or required for BCC
Squamous cell carcinoma

most common carcinoma of vulva / usually > 60 yrs / HPV 16 / 5 yr survival 75%


Vagina

Vaginal Infections
Bacterial Vaginitis

Organisms: Gardnerella vaginalis, Ureaplasma hominis > Chlamydia, N. gonorrhea



Diagnosis: 3 of 4 criteria: increased vaginal discharge (fishy odor when mixed with 10% KOH), pH > 4.5, clue cells on wet mount [pic]

Ddx: bacterial (40%) > candida (30%) > T. vaginalis / chemical irritants, HSV

Treatment: oral or vaginal metronidazole or clindamycin
N. Gonorrhea (see micro)

Chlamydia trachomatis


most common STD in W. hemisphere / 20% asymptomatic / infects glandular epithelia / may cause PID and infertility / treat partner / Treatment: azythromycin, doxycycline


Trichomonas vaginalis (see micro)


25% asymptomatic / variable pruritis / strawberry mucosa, frothy, purulent discharge / pear-shaped “wobbling” flagellated organisms + epithelial cells / fishy odor (w/ or w/out addition of 10% KOH)

Treatment: 500 mg metronidazole PO bid x 7 days / must treat partner, no intercourse during Rx
Candida vaginitis

Lower pH, more itching, fungal elements on KOH


Vaginal Neoplasia

Vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN)

Peaks in 40s / diagnosed with colposcopy and acetic acid/biopsy

Treatment: CO2 laser or topical 5-FU if not-invasive
Squamous cell carcinoma

Peak in 50s (mean age 55) / most common carcinoma of vagina



Presentation: discharge, bleeding, pruritis

Spread by direct extension into bladder, rectum and lymphatics (upper 1/3  iliac nodes, lower 2/3  inguinal nodes)

Stage I and II upper 1/3  surgical resection

Stage III and IV and lower 2/3  radiation alone (palliative surgery)


Adenocarcinoma

clear cell carcinoma / fetal DES exposure causes adenosis / subset become CA / young women / Treatment: surgery and radiation


Cervix
Cervical Infection
PID (pelvic inflammatory disease)

Criteria:

all 3 present:

(1) lower abdominal tenderness

(2) CMT (cervical motion tenderness)

(3) adnexal tenderness

at least 1 of these:

temperature > 38 C / WBC > 10.5 / positive culdocentesis / mass on exam or ultrasound / evidence of GC or chlamydia in endocervix

Risk factors: young female, recent menses, multiple partners et al

Diagnosis: Non-clotted blood  ectopic pregnancy

Clotted  from vessel? or recently ruptured ectopic?



Differential: ovarian torsion, ovarian cysts, fibroids, endometriosis, appendicitis, bowel disease, ectopic pregnancy

Organisms: C. trachomatis (25-45%) / N. gonorrhea (10-40%) / anaerobes (Bacteroides, C. perfringens) (30-60%) / aerobes (Staph, Strep, E. Coli) (30-65%) / Mycoplasma sp. (2-10%)

Treatment: different opinions from OB/GYN vs. ID people

Ceftriaxone 250 mg IM x 1 and doxycycline 100 mg bid x 14d (follow-up 48 hrs) / treat partner, consider in-patient treatment – cefotetan 2 g IV q 12 hrs or cefoxitin plus doxycycline / alternative: Unasyn + doxy, cipro + doxy, ofloxacin, metronidazole



with abscess (TOA) (more likely anaerobic; bacteroides): Unasyn, clindamycin, gentamicin

Complications: peritonitis, GI obstruction, bacteremia, infertility (ectopic pregnancy later on)
Cervical Neoplasia
Endocervical polyp

most common cervical growth / inflammatory cause / may bleed


Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN) – vaccine available!

Incidence: 6th leading COD in women / 5000 deaths/yr

Risk factors: early start, many partners, history of STD, smoking / also an AIDS-defining illness

caused HPV 16,18,31,33 (integration, replication vs. episomal (HPV 6, 11)

more common in anterior / Schiller test (dysplastic EC’s do not stain for glycogen)

Clinical Staging: physical exam, CXR, IVP, barium enema, cystoscopy
Bethesda system


  • Atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS)

10-15% will have significant lesions on colposcopy (80% of them will resolve with repeat PAP in 4-6 months

  • Squamous intraepithelial lesions (SIL)

low grade: CIN I (30% or progress in 7 yrs) and HPV changes

high grade: CIN II (4 yrs to progress) and CIN III



  • Squamous cell carcinoma

20% of CIN III progress to invasive carcinoma by 10yrs
Treatment: cryotherapy, laser therapy / loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) for endocervical lesions

Prevention: anti HPV vaccine (effective if given prior to sexual activity)
Invasive squamous cell carcinoma (cervical cancer)

cervical cancers are 90% large cell (keratinizing or non-keratinizing) and 10% small cell / remainder are adenocarcinoma and rarely (sarcoma/lymphoma)

Presentation: post-coital bleeding, abnormal vaginal bleeding, watery discharge, pelvic pain/pressure, rectal or urinary problems

microinvasive SCC refers to <3 mm invasion, no blood vessels, no mets

invasive SCC is the most common cervical cancer / may be fungating, ulcerating, infiltrative

Treatment: cone biopsy for microinvasive/desire for fertility / others require (simple or radical) hysterectomy / radiation (external beam or intracavitary radiation) can be curative or palliative (pain/bleeding) / chemotherapy is only minimally effective with cisplatin (+/- doxorubicin, bleomycin)

Prognosis: 5 yr survival for IIIA (50%) / death from ureteral obstruction, pyelonephritis, renal failure

Endometrium
Endometrial Inflammatory
acute endometritis associated with delivery or abortion

abortion, PID, IUD, pregnancy / plasma cells / may be asymptomatic / culture for chlamydia and gonococci


chronic endometritis specific
mycoplasm subacute focal inflammation (SFI) / lymphocytes, NO germinal centers, NO plasma cells
tuberculosis infertility / systemic infection / superficial endometrial granulomas
Functional Disorders of Endometrium
estrogen withdrawal bleeding and anovulation

1st cause of dysfunctional uterine bleeding / asynchronous / proliferative pattern / fibrin thrombi
inadequate luteal phase

luteal phase defect / premature menses / infertility / >2 day lag in endometrium


endometrial polyp (benign)

abnormal uterine bleeding / associated with tamoxifen use

hyperplastic polyp: originate in basalis, may have squamous metaplasia

functional polyp: least common / glandular and respond to hormones
