About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Diseases of the Vulva” by Azza Alyamani.

This medical PowerPoint presentation is about the vulva which is the external female genital area, and several diseases that can affect it. Some of the most common vulvar diseases include:

Vulvovaginal candidiasis: This is a fungal infection caused by Candida species. It is characterized by itching, burning, and discharge.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection: HPV can cause genital warts and may increase the risk of vulvar cancer.
Vulvar dermatitis: This is a skin condition that can be caused by irritants or allergens, and it can cause itching, redness, and swelling.
Vulvar cancer: This is a rare but serious condition in which cancer develops in the vulva. It can cause itching, pain, and a lump or sore.
Lichen sclerosus: This is a chronic inflammatory condition that can cause white, thin, and itchy patches on the vulva.
Bartholins cyst: This is a fluid-filled lump that can develop in the Bartholins glands, which are located near the vaginal opening. It can cause pain and discomfort.
Vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN): This is a precancerous condition in which abnormal cells develop on the vulva. It can cause itching, burning, and pain.

It is important to seek medical attention if you experience any symptoms of vulvar disease, as early diagnosis and treatment can improve outcomes.

Diseases of the VulvaAzza AlyamaniDepartmentofObstet. & Gynecol.
Slide 2-

Vulvo-vaginal problems are among 10 leading disorders encountered by primary care clinicians. * Benign lesions of the vulva are mentioned in three categories : 1. Epithelial conditions. 2. Benign neoplastic disorders. 3. Dermatologic disorders. * VIN * Cancer vulva
Slide 3-

Benign Conditions of the Vulva
Slide 4-

(1) Epithelial Conditions 1) Lichen simplex . 2) Lichen sclerosis. 3) Lichen planus, erosive lichen planus.
Slide 5-

1) Lichen Simplex “ squamous cell hyperplasia “ * it is a local thickening of the epithelium resulting from a prolonged itching . * symptoms : pruritus and pain. * signs : white or reddish thickened ,leathery ,raised surface. usually discrete lesion but may be multiple. * treatment : • moderate-strength steroid ointment. • antipruritic agent.
Slide 6-

lichen simplex
Slide 7-

2) Lichen Sclerosis * it is a chronic progressive disease which constrict and destroy the normal genital anatomy . In the long term ,labia minora are lost ,labia majora flatten ,clitoris becomes inverted . * frequently found on the vulva of postmenopausal women & can involve all the genital area from mons to the anal area.
Slide 8-

* combinations of lichen sclerosis & epithleal hyperplasia or carcinoma are possible. * symptoms: intense pruritus , dyspareunia and burning pain. * signs: thin inelastic atrophic skin ,white with a crinkled , tissue paper appearance.
Slide 9-

* diagnosis: multiple biopsies is necessary. it reveals a thin atrophic epithelium with inflammatory cells lining the basement membrane. * treatment: ● potent topical steroids. 80% of lesions respond. long term therapy with low potent steroids may be necessary. ● other local treatments are: esrtogen cream and anaesthetics.

lichen sclerosis advanced
Slide 11-

3) Lichen planus * it is a purplish ,polygonal papules that may appear in their erosive form. * it involve the vulva ,the vagina and the mouth ( vulval – vaginal –gingival syndrome ). * symptoms: vulval burning , severe dyspareunia when vaginal stenosis develop in advanced stages. * treatment: topical and systemic steroids .
Slide 12-

erosive lichen planus lichen planus of vulva & vagina
Slide 13-

(2) Benign Neoplastic condions 1) epidermal inclusion and sebaceous cysts. 2) vulvar varicosities. 3) fibromas and lipomas. 4) clitoromegaly.
Slide 14-

1) epidermal inclusion & sebaceous cysts * they are nontender , mobile , spherical ,slow growing cysts located below the epidermis. * sebaceous cysts are firmer bec. they are filled with dry caseous material. * treatment : most of inclusion cysts require no ttt. if they are asymptomatic, or surgical excision.
Slide 15-

2) Vulval Varicosities Can enlarge especially during pregnancy to cause discomfort and carry a possible risks for rupture or thrombosis.
Slide 16-

3) Fibromas and Lipomas Fibromas: * are the most common benign solid tumors that arise in the deeper connective tissue of the vulva. * they are slow growing 1–10 cm in diameter, but may become huge . Lipomas: * slow growing tumors composed of adipose cells.
Slide 17-

Vulval Fibroma
Slide 18-

4) Clitoromegaly * may develop after birth in response to excessive androgen exposure . It is a sign virillization. * diagnosed when the clitorial length exceeds 30 mm or the width at the base exceeds 10 mm.
Slide 19-

clitoromegaly
Slide 20-

( 3) Dermatologic Disorders 1) Psoriasis. 2) Behcet ′s syndrome. 3) Crohn ΄s disease . 4) Acanthosis nigricans .
Slide 21-

1) Psoriasis appears velvety but lack the characteristic scaly patches found on the knees & elbows.
Slide 22-

2) Behcet ′s syndrome * ulcers in the vulval , oral and ocular areas. * genital lesions can result over time in a scarred vulva. * etiology : is unknown. * diagnosis : based on the concurrence ulcers in vulva ,mouth & ocular involvement ,the recurrent nature of the disease and exclusion of syphilis and Crohn’s disease. * treatment : no effective ttt.
Slide 23-

oral ulcer vulvar ulcer Behcet′ s disease
Slide 24-

3) Crohn’s disease * vulval ulcers can precede the development of GIT ulcerations . * vulval ulcers are slit-like or knife – cut ulcers with prominent edema. Draining sinuses and fistulas to the rectum may occur.
Slide 25-

4) Acanthosis nigricans * most commonly found in the axilla or the nape of the neck then vulva. * characterized by its darky pigmented velvety or warty surface . * etiology : related to insulin resistance.
Slide 26-

Vulval Neoplasms Introduction * uncommon 5 % of female genital tract malign. most tumors are squamous cell carcinomas ,may be melanomas , adenocarcinomas and sarcomas. * postmenopausal women ,mean age 65 years. * a history of chronic vulval itching is common.
Slide 27-

Epidemiology Two different etiologic types of vulval cancers : 1. A less common type: * in younger women . * related to HPV infection and smoking. * commonly associated with VIN .
Slide 28-

2. The more common type: * in old women . * unrelated to HPV infection or smoking. * concurrent VIN is uncommon. * long standing lichen sclerosis is common. 5% of patients have +ve serologic tests for syphilis , lymphogranuloma venereum and granuloma inguinale.
Slide 29-

Vulval Intraepithelial Neoplasia (VIN) 2 types of VIN : 1. squamous cell carcinoma in situ VIN III or Bowen’s disease. 2. Adenocarcinoma in situ VIN III or Paget’s disease.
Slide 30-

Squamous cell carcinoma in situ: VIN III ( Bowen′s disease ) * mean age 45 years. * symptoms: 50% asymptomatic. itching is the most common symptom. * signs: most lesions are elevated ,white ,red ,pink , brown or grey in color. 20% of lesions are warty in appearance.
Slide 31-

* diagnosis: 1.careful inspection of the vulva in bright light and with the aid of a magnifying glass. 2. 5% acetic acid aceto white areas.
Slide 32-

* treatment : 1. local superficial excision. with margins of 5 mm are adequate. 2. skinning vulvectomy in extensive lesions. 3. laser therapy if lesions involves the clitoris , labia minora or perineal area.
Slide 33-

Adenocarcinoma in situ VIN III ( Paget′ s disease ) * occurs in white postmenopausal elderly women. also occurs in the nipple area of the breast. * 20% is associated with adenocarcinoma. * symptoms: itching and tenderness are common. * signs: well demarcated and eczematus with white plaque like lesions. * growth may progresses beyond the vulva to the mons pubis ,buttocks & thighs.
Slide 34-

* diagnosis histologically: adenocarcinoma in situ characterized by large ,pale , pathognomonic Paget’ s cells, typically located both in the epidermic and in the adnexal structures. * treatment: 1. local superficial excision. with margins 5-10 mm. 2. laser therapy in recurrences which are common.
Slide 35-

Paget′ s disease
Slide 36-

Invasive Cancer Vulva A. Squamous cell carcinoma * 90% of vulval cancers. * symptoms: • vulval lump or ulcer. • long standing pruritus. * signs: • raised ,ulcerated ,pigmented or warty lesion. however , ulceration is usually an early sign. • most lesions occur on labia majora and labia minora. Less common sites , the clitoris or the perineum. • 5% of lesions are multifocal.
Slide 37-

squamous cell carcinoma of vulva
Slide 38-

* spread : • direct extension to adjacent structures as the vagina , urethra and anus. • lymphatic embolisation inguino femoral nodes. = initially to the superficial inguinal LN. = then to deep femoral LN. located medial to the femoral vein, LN of Cloquet′s is the most common of this group. =then spread occurs to pelvic nodes especially the external iliac LN.
Slide 39-

= LN metastases occurs 50% in cancer vulva. 5% of patients have metastases to pelvic LN , usually 3 or more +ve unilateral inguino femoral LN. • hematogenous occurs late to the lungs , liver and bone rarely in the absence of lymphatic metastases.

Slide 42-

Management A) Early vulval cancer * Stage I a ( penetration depth < 1mm below the basement membrane & no nodal metastases ) radical local excision é surgical margins 1cm, patient do not need groin dissection. * Stage I b & Stage II ( penetration > 1mm ) radical local excision +ipsilateral inguinal femoral lymphadenectomy if the lesion is unilateral and bilateral groin dissection in the midline lesions .
Slide 43-

B) Advanced vulval cancer * Stage III ( involves the proximal urethra ,anus or rectovaginal septum ) radical vulvectomy which includes a bowel, urinary stroma or rectovaginal septum. + bilateral groin dissection. Preoperative radiation or chemo-radiation should be used to shrink the 1ry tumor ,followed by more conservative surgical excision.
Slide 44-

C) Positive lymph nodes Radiation used with > one nodal mico metastasis (<5mm), or evidence of extra nodal spread . postoperative radiation to both groins and to the pelvis. Prognosis: = it correlate significantly with LN status. with –ve nodes have a 5-ys survival rate is 90%. with +ve nodes have a 5-ys survival rate is 50%. = patient with no involved node have a good prognosis regardless of stage.
Slide 45-

Malignant Melanoma * the 2nd most common vulvar cancer. * may arise de novo or from a preexisting nevus. commonly involve labia minora or clitoris. * occurs in postmenopausal white women. * diagnosis : any pigmented lesion of the vulva requires excisional biopsy for histopathology. * usually smaller lesions and tend to metastasized early.
Slide 46-

malignant melanoma of the vulva
Slide 47-

* prognosis: correlates to the depth of penetration into the dermis. The 5-ys survival rate is 30%. * superficial lesion radical local excision alone with margins of 1 cm, is adequate. * deeper lesions 1 mm or > radical local excision + ipsilateral inguinal femoral lymphadenectomy. * adjuvant therapy: = nonspecific immuno stimulants. = chemotherapy. = vaccines.
