Questions and Answers

Which of the following is NOT a potential symptom of VIN?

  • Mild to severe itching or burning on the vulva
  • Changes in the skin color on the vulva
  • Thickening of the skin on the vulva
  • Pain in the abdomen (correct)

    • What is the difference between VIN 1 and VIN 3?

  • VIN 1 is more severe than VIN 3, affecting the deeper layers of the vulva.
  • VIN 1 and VIN 3 are both severe, but VIN 3 involves a larger area of the vulva.
  • VIN 1 is less severe than VIN 3, with abnormal cells affecting a smaller portion of the vulvar skin. (correct)
  • VIN 1 is more common than VIN 3, with a higher chance of successful treatment.

    Study Notes

    Precancerous Disease in Gynecology

    • Precancerous conditions can affect various reproductive organs, including the vulva, vagina, cervix, and uterus.
    • VIN (Vulvar Intraepithelial Neoplasia) is categorized by how deep abnormal cells penetrate the top layer of vulvar skin.
      • VIN 1: Abnormal cells are less than one-third of the top skin layer.
      • VIN 2: Abnormal cells are less than two-thirds of the top skin layer.
      • VIN 3: Abnormal cells extend beyond two-thirds of the top skin layer.
    • VIN often has no symptoms, but possible signs include itching, burning, changes in skin color (white, pink, red, gray, dark brown), skin thickening, lumps, or sores.
    • Diagnosing VIN involves examining the vulva, vagina, cervix, and anus, colposcopy, and biopsy.
    • Treatment options for VIN include no treatment with close monitoring, topical therapy, laser procedures, or surgical removal (wide local excision or simple vulvectomy).
    • VAIN (Vaginal Intraepithelial Neoplasia) is classified based on abnormal epithelial cells.
      • VAIN 1: Mild dysplasia; mildly abnormal cells.
      • VAIN 2: Moderate dysplasia; moderately abnormal cells.
      • VAIN 3: Severe dysplasia or carcinoma in situ; significant abnormal cells.
    • VAIN diagnosis involves colposcopy and biopsy.
    • VAIN treatment may include laser therapy, topical chemotherapy (5-FU), partial vaginectomy, or radiation therapy.
    • Cervical Dysplasia (CIN, Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia) is abnormal or possibly precancerous changes in cervical cells.
      • Levels of severity are LSIL (low-grade), HSIL (high-grade), and cancer.
    • Other reporting systems for changes may refer to CIN and cervical dysplasia. CIN categorizes cervical conditions based on severity. CIN1, CIN2, and CIN3 represent increasing severity of abnormal cells.
    • Abnormal glandular cells (AGC) and adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) are changes to glandular cells in cervix.
      • AGC: Abnormal glandular appearance.
      • AIS: Pre-invasive glandular cancer, where cells haven't spread.
    • Diagnosing precancerous uterine conditions involves endometrial biopsy or dilation and curettage (D&C).
    • Treatment for atypical endometrial hyperplasia may include hysterectomy (for postmenopausal women) or progesterone therapy (for those wanting future children).
