PATHOLOGY of the VULVA
non-neoplastic pathology
-
-
Bartolino's cyst
- 2% of women
- occlusive
- mucinous
- from small to several cm
- cubic or transitional epithelium
- possible superinfections (abscesses)
infections
fungal
- common
- frequently from candida
- immunodeficiency or therapies with antibiotics
- pathogenicity from exo-to-endocellular growth
- clinical diagnosis or swab with cytological smear with fungal elements and granulocytes proving active infection
viral
HSV1 and HSV2
- acantholytic vesicles
- ulcerative
- inflammation and giant cells
papillomavirus
- koilocytosis
- binucleation
- epithelial thickening
bacterial
- staphylo and strepto
- neisseria
- treponema
- aspecific morphological features
lichen
-
-
-
- confluent plaques/papules
- epithelial thinning with fibrotic stroma
- sub-epithelial band-like lymphocytic infiltrate, increased by scratching
-
-
malignant neoplasms
non-invasive
- squampus intraepithelial lesions
- low-(HPV-related, condylomas) and high-grade
- old term of vulvar-intraepithelial neoplasms
invasive
squamous cell carcinoma
- rare
- elderly
- earlier age if HPV-related
- early and frequent lymph node metastases
histological types
- keratinizing (75%)
- non-keratinizing
- basaloid
- verrucous
adenocarcinoma
- from glandular structures
- clear cell type
- associated with prenatal diethylstilbestrol exposure
- peak age at 10 years
-
-
rhabdomyosarcoma
