Hubbard Glacier
Vulvar Intraepithelial Neoplasia



Same culprit, HPV
50% asymptomatic
Increasing incidence
– 2 to 3 fold increase

Declining age (mean = 40 years)
– Tripled in white ♀ under age 35

Appearance

White, red, or pigmented
Flat, raised, macular, papillary, solitary or multifocal

Vulvar CIS
Judson, Obstet Gynecol 2006
 13,176 women with CIS and cancer
 Vulvar CIS increased 400% from 1973 to
2000
 CIS increases with age until 50, then ↓
 CA increases with age, more rapidly > 50
Vulvar CIS
Jones, Obstet Gynecol 2005
 Mean age CIS decreased from 50 before
1980 to 39 today
 50% require 2nd treatment
 Synchronous cancer in 4% (vulvar, perianal,
urethral)
 Progression in untreated 1.1-7.3 years
(mean = 3.9 years)
Paget’s Disease

Disease of the apocrine glands
– Arm pits, genital, anal regions
– Fat containing sweat, odor after bacterial digestion
– Excretions via hair follicle



Localized or diffuse
Hyperemic, well-demarcated, excoriated
Prolonged, indolent course if intra-epithelial
“Simultaneous” adenocarcinoma in up to 20%
Simple, partial vulvectomy with FS margins
Radiation can be successful, particularly when anal
involvement

Diagnosis
 Inspection
 Vulvoscopy
 Review outside pathology
 Biopsy
– Lidocaine
– Combined diagnosis, treatment in OR


1898
Population grew to 10,000 (now 862)
Gateway to Klondike region of
Canada’s Yukon territory
The “easy way”
– Sail to Skagway, Alaska
– Up White Pass, “Dead horse trail”
– Hike to Canada and build raft
– Float Yukon River to Dawson City
Gold Rush
Travel Challenges


Pack one ton of supplies (2200 lb) - Canadian
Mounties at summit
“Dead horse trail” littered with abandoned gear,
dead horses and mules: 20 miles, 3300 feet
Tram operator
425 mile treacherous expedition to Dawson City
Examining…
the Clitoris

Vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia
– 70% may involve clitoris or
frenulum


Tumors
Cancer
– Squamous cell
– Melanoma
Clitoral Fibroma
Examining…
the Urethra
 Caruncle
 Urethral diverticulum
 Urethritis
 Condyloma
 Cancer
– Squamous, transitional cell, melanoma
Urethral Carcinoma
Examining…
the Vagina
 Atrophy
 Infection
– HSV, HPV
– Candidiasis
– Bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis
 Cancer
– Squamous cell, melanoma
Atrophic Vaginitis
Trichomonas
VAIN
Benedet, J. Reprod Med, 1992
 Normal epithelium
– Epithelial thickness = 0.28 mm
– Menopausal patients 33% thinner
 VAIN
– Epithelial thickness = 0.46 mm
– No difference for menopause
 Recommend treatment to 1.5 mm
VAIN
Appearance
 Subtle, often multifocal
 Punctate, possibly raised
 Peau d’orange
 May show acetowhite
changes but rarely the
mosaicism of CIN
VAIN
Colposcopy
 Largest speculum
 Start at apex and move to introitus
 Aceitic acid or Lugol’s
 Alligator biopsy forceps
 AgNO3, Monsel’s solution
Treatment Options
VIN and VAIN
 Excision
– Not LEEP
 CO2 laser vaporization
 Electrical vaporization (fulguration)
 Topical therapy

Surgical Excision
Laser Ablation
VAIN
CO2 Laser Vaporization
 Colposcopy-assisted
 15-20 watts, continuous

night weekly for up to 10 weeks. Insert
tampon and coat vulva with Desitin. In
morning, remove tampon and allow
medicine to drain into commode. Gently
cleanse vulva.
Medical Treatment
Aldara

Immune modifier
– Induces cytokines, interferon-α, lymphocytes,
macrophages





Actinic keratosis, superficial basal cell, external
condylomata

72% CR for condylomata
90% with vulvar discomfort, 15% with flu-like
symptoms, 20% don’t finish therapy.
Pregnancy Category C
Medical Treatment
Aldara
Aldara 5% cream
Disp: 250 mg single use packets
Sig: Use 1 packet 3 times weekly qHS. Leave
on for 6-10 hours and remove with mild
soap and water. Use no longer than 16
weeks.
Surveillance
