ABSTRACT

Introdução: mapear os estudos que mensuraram o potencial Hidrogeniônico (pH) da região vulvar no ciclo vital da mulher. Métodos: revisão de escopo conforme recomendações do Manual for Evidence Synthesis do Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI), nas bases SCOPUS, Web of Science, Academic Search Premier, PubMed, Bielefeld Academic Search Engine e Google Acadêmico em janeiro de 2022. Foram incluídos estudos publicados em português, espanhol, francês e inglês, sem limite temporal. Resultados: dos 954 documentos recuperados, 13 foram selecionados. Apurou- se que os estudos utilizaram diferentes procedimentos para as medições quanto aos equipamentos, ambiente e preparo das participantes. A média de idade apresentada pela população feminina estudada variou entre 31 e 43 anos. Os locais de medição vulvar foram os grandes e pequenos lábios, dobra interlabial e períneo. O menor valor do pH aferido foi 4,6 e o maior 6,3. Conclusões: constatou-se baixa produção de estudos acerca do pH vulvar e ênfase das pesquisas na população de mulheres adultas. A diversidade de procedimentos e locais de aferição encontrados não permite afirmações seguras sobre uma faixa de valor de pH da superfície da pele vulvar.


Introduction: to map the studies that measured the Potential of Hydrogen (pH) of the vulvar region in women's life cycle. Methods: scoping review according to recommendations from the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Manual for Evidence Synthesis in the SCOPUS, Web of Science, Academic Search Premier, PubMed, Bielefeld Academic Search Engine and Google Scholar databases in January 2022. Studies published in Portuguese, Spanish, French, and English, without time limit, were included. Results: of the 954 documents retrieved, 13 were selected. Different measurement procedures in relation to equipment, environment and preparation of participants were used in the studies. The average age of the female population ranged between 31 and 43 years. The vulvar measurement sites were the labia majora and minora, interlabial sulci and perineum. The lowest pH value measured was 4.6 and the highest was 6.3. Conclusions: there was a low production of studies on vulvar pH and an emphasis of studies on the population of adult women. The diversity of procedures and measurement sites found does not allow for safe statements about a range of pH values on the surface of the vulvar skin.

ABSTRACT

Fibroma mole, ou pólipo fibroepitelial, é uma lesão de proporções geralmente reduzidas, de cor hiperpigmentada ou igual à da pele, localizando-se frequentemente na face, pescoço, tronco e regiões intertriginosas. É um tumor classificado como benigno e pode acometer tanto homens quanto mulheres em idade reprodutiva e depois da quarta década de vida. Ocorre principalmente em obesos, diabéticos e durante a gestação. Com menor frequência, podem alcançar dimensões que excedem 5 cm. Seu crescimento pode ser lento ou rápido e comumente são assintomáticos, mas podem promover sangramentos por conta de ulcerações decorrentes de traumas repetidos. Apresentamos neste relato um fibroma mole, gigante, de localização vulvar, com 11 cm de comprimento, 11 cm de largura e 5 cm de espessura, pesando 500 g.


Giant soft vulvar fibroma is a fibroepithelial polyp lesion with generally reduced proportions, with a hyperpigmented color or similar to that of the skin, frequently located on the face, neck, trunk and intertriginous regions. It is a tumor classified as benign, can affect both men and women, of reproductive age and after the fourth decade, mainly obese, diabetic and during pregnancy. However, less frequently, they can reach dimensions that exceed 5 cm, may have a slow or accelerated evolution. They are commonly asymptomatic, but bleeding may be present due to ulcerations resulting from repeated trauma. In the current study, we describe a giant soft fibroma with a vulvar location measuring 11 cm in length, 11 cm in width, 5 cm in thickness and weighing 500 grams.

ABSTRACT

Los pólipos fibroepiteliales son tumores cutáneos benignos frecuentes en la población general. Sin embargo, la afectación del tracto genital es inhabitual. Su etiología no es clara, pero se han descrito asociaciones con trastornos metabólicos y fluctuaciones hormonales, lo cual explica su mayor prevalencia en mujeres. Debido a la variedad de diagnósticos diferenciales, es necesaria la evaluación histopatológica. Su manejo es habitualmente conservador; sin embargo, pueden requerir intervención quirúrgica en algunos casos. Exponemos cuatro casos de tumores fibroepiteliales vulvares de diferentes tamaños, uno de ellos clasificado como gigante, así como la aproximación de manejo. Con esta presentación, esperamos mejorar el conocimiento, la precisión del diagnóstico y contribuir al tratamiento eficaz de las pacientes con esta patología vulvar tan poco frecuente.


Fibroepithelial polyps are common benign skin tumors in the general population. However, genital tract involvement is unusual. Their etiology is unclear, but associations with metabolic disorders and hormonal fluctuations have been described, which explains their higher prevalence in women. Due to the variety of differential diagnoses, histopathological evaluation is necessary. Their management is usually conservative. However, they may require surgical intervention in some cases. We present four cases of vulvar fibroepithelial tumors of different sizes, one of them classified as giant, as well as the management approach. With this presentation, we hope to improve knowledge, diagnostic accuracy and contribute to the effective treatment of patients with this rare vulvar pathology.

ABSTRACT

Metastatic Crohn's disease (MCD) is a rare cutaneous manifestation of Crohn's disease (CD). The simultaneous involvement of the vulva and oral region is uncommon in clinical presentations of MCD. We present the case of a middle-aged woman with a family history of autoimmunity who initially presented with oral and vulvoperineal involvement. Initially, Behçet's disease was ruled out, but histopathological studies of the vulva revealed findings compatible with MCD. The patient had no gastrointestinal symptoms, and fecal calprotectin levels were normal. Upper and lower endoscopic examinations and capsule endoscopy of the small intestine (SI) did not reveal any significant findings. Treatment with anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) agents was initiated but resulted in paradoxical psoriasis with adalimumab and infliximab. Cyclosporine was also used, but the patient experienced intolerable tachycardia. After 18 months, the patient developed episcleritis and experienced diarrhea accompanied by cramp-like abdominal pain. Repeat upper and lower endoscopic examinations showed normal results, while capsule endoscopy of the SI revealed CD enteritis. The patient was diagnosed with CD of the small intestine, along with extraintestinal manifestations of vulvoperineal MCD, oral involvement, and episcleritis. Management with azathioprine and ustekinumab was initiated, resulting in significant clinical improvement. MCD poses a diagnostic challenge due to its unusual manifestations. It may present without gastrointestinal tract involvement, mimicking other conditions. Therefore, timely diagnosis and the selection of the most appropriate therapeutic strategy are crucial.


La enfermedad de Crohn metastásica (ECM) es una entidad rara, es una manifestación cutánea en enfermedad Crohn (EC), y en su presentación clínica es inusual el compromiso vulvar y oral de modo concomitante. Se describe el caso de una mujer de edad media que tiene historia familiar de autoinmunidad, presenta inicialmente compromiso oral y vulvoperineal. En su abordaje inicial se descartó enfermedad de Behçet, pero los estudios histopatológicos a nivel vulvar tuvieron hallazgos compatibles para ECM. Hubo ausencia de síntomas gastrointestinales y sus niveles de calprotectina fecal eran normales. Los estudios endoscópicos altos y bajos, y la cápsula endoscópica del intestino delgado (ID) no tuvieron hallazgos relevantes. Se inició el tratamiento con antifactor de necrosis tumoral (anti-TNF) y presentó una psoriasis paradójica con adalimumab e infliximab. También se utilizó ciclosporina y presentó una taquicardia intolerable. 18 meses después de estos síntomas tuvo epiescleritis e inició con diarrea asociada a dolor abdominal tipo cólico, por lo que se repitieron los estudios endoscópicos altos y bajos, que resultaron normales, y cápsula endoscópica de ID mostró una enteritis por EC. Se consideró EC de ID con manifestaciones extraintestinales y con ECM vulvoperineal, compromiso oral y epiescleritis. Se requirió manejo con azatioprina y ustekinumab, con una mejoría clínica significativa. La ECM es un reto diagnóstico, pues es una manifestación inusual; en su debut puede haber ausencia de compromiso en el tracto gastrointestinal y también simular otras entidades. Debe buscarse lograr el diagnóstico oportuno y la estrategia terapéutica más segura.

ABSTRACT

La enfermedad de Behçet (EB) es un trastorno inflamatorio, multisistémico, recidivante y remitente de etiología desconocida. Una característica clave de la enfermedad es la ulceración orogenital que provoca una morbilidad considerable con gran impacto en la calidad de vida de los pacientes. Su manejo médico consiste en un esquema con colchicina, esteroides o inmunomoduladores. Comunicamos el caso de una paciente con lesiones genitales quien consultó en múltiples ocasiones, recibiendo manejo antibiótico e incluso quirúrgico, con respuesta refractaria a estas intervenciones. Posteriormente, por las características de las lesiones y el comportamiento clínico se sospechó enfermedad de Behçet y se instauró manejo médico con esteroides orales y curaciones con fitoestimulina. Hubo resolución de las úlceras genitales y posteriormente la paciente fue llevada a cirugía para corrección de las sinequias vulvares.


Behçet's disease (BD) is an inflammatory, multisystemic, relapsing-remitting disorder of unknown etiology. A key feature of the disease is orogenital ulceration that causes considerable morbidity with great impact on patient's quality of life. Its medical management consists of a scheme with colchicine, steroids or immunomodulators. We report the case of a patient with genital lesions who consulted on multiple occasions, receiving antibiotics and even surgical management, with refractory response to these interventions. Subsequently, due to the characteristics of the lesion and clinical behavior, Behçet's disease was suspected and medical management with oral steroids and cures with phytostimulin was initiated. The genital ulcers were resolved, and the patient was subsequently taken to surgery for correction of the vulvar synechiae.

ABSTRACT

Resumen ANTECEDENTES: El tumor de células granulares de la vulva es poco común y de origen neurogénico. Afecta, principalmente, a mujeres entre 60 y 70 años y es más frecuente en la raza negra. CASO CLÍNICO: Paciente de 63 años, con una lesión vulvar indolora y no pruriginosa, en crecimiento. En la exploración se observó una lesión excrecente de 2.5 cm en la región superior del labio mayor izquierdo, dura, vascularizada y con infiltración a 2 cm de profundidad. No se palparon adenopatías sospechosas. Luego del reporte de la biopsia, sugerente de tumor de células granulares, se practicó una escisión completa, con márgenes libres. El estudio inmunohistoquímico se reportó positivo para CD68, S100 y TFE3 lo que confirmó el diagnóstico. Puesto que el índice proliferativo (Ki67) fue inferior al 5% y los márgenes quirúrgicos estaban libres, no se requirió tratamiento adyuvante. La paciente permanece en seguimiento y sin signos de recidiva. CONCLUSIÓN: Si bien los tumores de células granulares de la vulva son poco comunes y casi siempre benignos, deben incluirse en el diagnóstico diferencial de una tumoración vulvar. La inmunohistoquímica es la herramienta más útil para el diagnóstico preciso y su tratamiento de elección es la escisión local amplia, por su tendencia a la recurrencia local.


Abstract BACKGROUND: Granular cell tumor of the vulva is rare and neurogenic in origin. It mainly affects women between 60 and 70 years of age and is more frequent in black women. CLINICAL CASE: A 63-year-old woman with a painless, non-pruritic, growing vulvar lesion. Examination revealed a 2.5 cm excrescent lesion in the upper region of the left labium majus, hard, vascularized and infiltrated to a depth of 2 cm. No suspicious lymph nodes were palpated. After the biopsy report, suggestive of granular cell tumor, complete excision was performed, with free margins. The immunohistochemical study was positive for CD68, S100 and TFE3 which confirming the diagnosis. Since the proliferative index (Ki67) was less than 5% and the surgical margins were clear, adjuvant treatment was not required. The patient remains in follow-up with no signs of recurrence. CONCLUSION: Although granular cell tumors of the vulva are rare and almost always benign, they should be included in the differential diagnosis of a vulvar tumor. Immunohistochemistry is the most useful tool for accurate diagnosis and their treatment of choice is wide local excision because of their tendency for local recurrence.

ABSTRACT

Resumen ANTECEDENTES: Las quemaduras son la forma más severa de estrés que el cuerpo puede sufrir; pueden generarse por diferentes agentes térmicos y químicos. CASO CLÍNICO: Paciente de 25 años, con dolor intenso en la región genital de 12 horas de evolución, secundario a la introducción en la vagina de una piedra de alumbre. Se le hicieron múltiples irrigaciones con solución salina al 0.9% sin obtener el resto de la piedra de alumbre. Se le aplicó sulfadiazina de plata en la cavidad vaginal cada 12 horas, óvulos vaginales de ketanserina, miconazol y metronidazol cada 8 horas, ketorolaco por vía oral 10 mg cada 8 horas. Durante su estancia hospitalaria tuvo buena evolución, con disminución de la inflamación en la zona genital, epitelización adecuada. Al tercer día se dio de alta del hospital con cita para valoración a los siete días. CONCLUSIÓN: El tratamiento de las quemaduras en el área genital, por agentes químicos, tiene como piedra angular la identificación del agente causante de la lesión que permita actuar de forma inmediata y evitar las secuelas físicas, sexuales y psicológicas mediante el lavado exhaustivo con solución o agua estéril para remover el agente causal y disminuir que continúe actuando en el sitio afectado.


Abstract BACKGROUND: Burns are the most severe form of stress that the body can suffer; they can be caused by various thermal and chemical agents. CLINICAL CASE: A 25-year-old female patient presented with severe genital pain of 12 hours' duration, secondary to the introduction of an alum stone into the vagina. She underwent several irrigations with 0.9% saline without obtaining the rest of the alum stone. She was given vaginal silver sulfadiazine every 12 hours, vaginal ketanserin, miconazole and metronidazole every 8 hours and oral ketorolac 10 mg every 8 hours. During her stay in hospital, she progressed well, with a decrease in genital inflammation and adequate epithelialisation. She was discharged on the third day with an appointment for a seven-day follow-up. CONCLUSION: The management of genital burns caused by chemical agents is based on the identification of the agent causing the lesion, which allows immediate action and prevents physical, sexual and psychological sequelae by thorough washing with sterile solution or water to remove the causative agent and reduce its continued action in the affected area.

ABSTRACT

Os grandes lábios tornam-se flácidos com o envelhecimento. Apesar de o preenchimento com ácido hialurônico proporcionar um rejuvenescimento significativo, ele também pode levar à formação de verdadeiros testículos vulvares se mal indicado, principalmente em vulvas excessivamente flácidas, que não suportam qualquer volumização adicional. Nesses casos de flacidez excessiva, acreditamos que os bioestimuladores de colágeno seriam o melhor tratamento inicial, pois sua injeção levaria à reposição de colágeno dérmico, com melhora da frouxidão, sem acréscimo expressivo de volume. Temos utilizado a hidroxiapatita de cálcio, o ácido l-polilático e os fios não espiculados de PDO, desde 2019, com bons resultados.


The labia majora become saggy with aging. Although filling with hyaluronic acid provides significant rejuvenation, it can also lead to the formation of true vulvar testicles if poorly indicated, especially in excessively flaccid vulvas, which do not support any further volumization. In these cases of excessive flaccidity, we believe that collagen biostimulators would be the best initial treatment, as their injection would lead to the replacement of dermal collagen and improvement in laxity, without a significant increase in volume. We have been using calcium hydroxyapatite, l-polylactic acid, and PDO threads since 2019, with good results.

ABSTRACT

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) also known as histiocytosis X, is a rare systemic disorder arising from the clonal proliferation of myeloid dendritic cells (histiocytes) with a tendency to involve single or multiple organ systems with variable clinical course and prognosis. Clinical presentation usually depends on the site of involvement. The organs commonly affected in adults by order of decreasing frequency include lungs, bone, skin, pituitary glands, lymph nodes, and the liver. Vulval and perianal involvement is extremely rare in adults. We describe the case of a 31-year-old non-smoker adult female with multisystemic LCH involving the vulva, perianal region, and lung. Probable involvement of other sites with LCH included mandibular bone, pituitary gland, skin, lymph nodes, liver, thyroid, and colon. She is undergoing systemic chemotherapy and has completed two cycles of cytarabine and steroids without any complications. Treatment is not standardized due to the very less incidence of the disease and inadequate knowledge regarding its pathophysiology. Langerhans cell histiocytosis remains a major concern for treating physicians because of its rarity with many faces and requires careful consideration for management.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Gynecological sarcomas are uncommon and their location in the vulva and vagina has an incidence of 5% of all malignant neoplasms of the female genital tract. We present the case of a 54-year-old patient with a diagnosis of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans in the vulva, an infrequent pathology, with less than 60 cases reported worldwide in this anatomical location. Clinically it has a locally aggressive behavior, due to the proliferation of spindle cells with pleomorphism and frequent figures of mitosis that infiltrate the reticular dermis and subcutaneous cellular tissue, giving rise to tumor lesions of variable size and with high rates of local recurrence. The treatment of first choice is surgical excision of the tumor with Mohs micrographic surgery or other surgical techniques for complete evaluation of the circumferential and deep peripheral margin. However, the identification of carcinogenesis mechanis ms where the chromosomal translocation t (17; 22) (q22; q13) is recognized, forming the COL1A1-PDGFB fusion gene, which participates in stimulating tumor cell proliferation, allowing treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as imatinib for neoadjuvant therapy of surgically unresectable tumors and local recurrences.


Resumen Los sarcomas ginecológicos son infrecuentes y la localización de estos en vulva y vagina tienen una incidencia del 5% de todas las neoplasias malignas del tracto genital femenino. Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 54 años con diagnóstico de dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans en vulva, una patología infrecuente, con menos de 60 casos reportados a nivel mundial en esta localización anatómica. Clínicamente tiene un comportamiento localmente agresivo, debido a la proliferación de células fusiformes con pleomorfismo y frecuentes figuras de mitosis que infiltran la dermis reticular y tejido celular subcutáneo, dando origen a lesiones tumorales de tamaño variable y con altas tasas de recurrencia local. El tratamiento en primera elección es la escisión quirúrgica del tumor con cirugía micrográfica de Mohs u otras técnicas quirúrgicas para evaluación completa del margen periférico circunferencial y profundo. Sin embargo, la identificación de mecanismos de carcinogénesis donde se reconoce la translocación cromosómica t (17; 22) (q22; q13), formando al gen de fusión COL1A1-PDGFB, el cual participa estimulando la proliferación celular tumoral, ha permitido la utilización de los inhibidores de la tirosina quinasa como el imatinib para la realización de terapia neoadyuvante en casos de tumores irresecables quirúrgicamente y en recurrencias locales.

ABSTRACT

El fibroadenoma es una neoplasia benigna usualmente localizada en mama. Su localización vulvar es extremadamente rara, con publicación de pocos casos. Su origen es incierto y muy debatible, en tanto se piensa que puede originarse de un tejido mamario ectópico vulvar o de glándulas anogenitales similares a las de tejido mamario que existen normalmente. Se presenta un caso inusual de fibroadenoma vulvar en una mujer de 29 años que durante dos años evidenció tumoración a nivel de la vulva que le producía dispareunia y sangrado poscoital. A nivel del labio mayor de la vulva se extirpó un tumor bien delimitado de 3 x 2 x 2 cm, blanquecino, de consistencia firme. En la microscopia se observó un fibroadenoma que por inmunohistoquímica mostró positividad para receptores de estrógeno y progesterona.


Fibroadenoma is a benign neoplasm usually located in the breast. Its vulvar location is extremely rare, with few cases published. Its origin is uncertain and highly debatable, as it is thought that it may originate from vulvar ectopic breast tissue or from anogenital glands similar to normally existing breast tissue. An unusual case of vulvar fibroadenoma is presented in a 29-year-old woman who for two years presented with a vulvar lump that caused dyspareunia and postcoital bleeding. At the level of the labium majus of the vulva, a well-demarcated tumor measuring 3 x 2 x 2 cm, whitish, with a firm consistency was excised. Microscopy showed a fibroadenoma which by immunohistochemistry showed positivity for estrogen and progesterone receptors.

ABSTRACT

Las células de Merkel se describieron originalmente en el estrato basal de la epidermis, con propiedades neuroendocrinas. El carcinoma de células de Merkel de la vulva es una neoplasia extremadamente rara y altamente agresiva. Existen pocos casos de estos tumores, la mayoría de los cuales han sido considerados tumores neuroendocrinos. El origen histológico y la etiología de esta enfermedad son controvertidas. Debido a su rareza en esta localización, no está claro si se comporta de manera diferente a los carcinomas de piel similares en otras localizaciones. Se presenta un caso de carcinoma primario de células de Merkel vulvar. El examen de biopsia por escisión reveló una tumoración de 4 x 3 centímetros en el tercio posterior del labio mayor izquierdo de la vulva sin afectación de los ganglios linfáticos. La paciente fue sometida a vulvectomía radical y disección bilateral de ganglios linfáticos inguinales. La evaluación histológica postoperatoria no mostró metástasis regionales ni distantes.


Merkel cells were originally described in the stratum basale of the epidermis with neuroendocrine properties. Merkel cell carcinoma of the vulva is an extremely rare and highly aggressive neoplasm. There are few cases of these tumors, most of which have been considered neuroendocrine tumors. The histologic origin and etiology of this disease are controversial. It is known for his aggressive behavior and propensity for early diffusion. Because of its rarity in this location, it is unclear whether it behaves differently from similar skin carcinomas in other locations. A case of primary vulvar Merkel cell carcinoma is presented. Excisional biopsy examination revealed a 4 x 3-centimeter tumor in the posterior third of the left labium majus of the vulva without lymph node involvement. The patient underwent radical vulvectomy and bilateral inguinal lymph node dissection. Postoperative histological evaluation showed no regional or distant metastases.

ABSTRACT

Resumen El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar el índice de Caslick en yeguas de la raza caballo peruano de paso y su relación con la conformación de grupa (ángulo de inclinación de grupa y tipo de inserción de cola). Se tomaron medidas morfométricas para hallar el índice de Caslick, la inclinación de grupa y la inserción de cola en yeguas participantes del LXX Concurso Nacional Oficial de Caballos Peruanos de Paso (n = 98). La media del ángulo de inclinación de grupa fue 37,23° ± 4,88°. La mayoría de las yeguas presentó una alta inserción de cola (55,1 %), y el índice de Caslick promedio fue de 42,68 ± 35,05. Más del 90 % de yeguas tuvo una buena conformación vulvar. Se concluyó que no hubo relación entre la inserción de cola y el índice de Caslick (p > 0,05), ni tampoco una correlación entre la edad e inclinación de grupa vs. el índice de Caslick (ρ = -0,187 y 0,042, respectivamente; p > 0,05). Sin embargo, se encontró una correlación negativa entre el número de partos y el índice de Caslick (ρ = -0,264; p < 0,05).


Abstract This study aims to determine the Caslick's Index in Peruvian Paso mares and how it relates to the croup conformation (croup inclination angle and type of tail insertion). To find the Caslick's Index, croup inclination, and tail insertion, some morphometric measures were made in the mares that participated in the LXX Official National Contest of Peruvian Paso Horses (n = 98). The mean for the croup inclination angle was 37.3° + 4.88°. Most of the mares showed a high tail insertion (55.1 %), and the average mean Caslick's Index was 42.68 + 35.05. More than 90% of the mares had a good vulvar conformation. It was concluded that there was no relationship between the tail insertion and the Caslick's Index (p > 0.05), nor any correlation between age and croup inclination vs. Caslick's Index (ρ = -0.187 and 0.042, respectively; p > 0.05). However, a negative correlation was found between the number of labors and the Caslick's Index (ρ = -0.264; p < 0.05).

ABSTRACT

El sarcoma epitelioide es un tipo raro de tumor mesenquimal. El sarcoma epitelioide de tipo proximal de vulva es un tumor maligno extremadamente raro de los tejidos blandos, con frecuentes recurrencias por su comportamiento agresivo. Debido a que sus características son similares a otras lesiones benignas, esto lleva a retrasos diagnósticos y terapéuticos. Las características histológicas de este tumor incluyen células epitelioides prominentes y aparición de rasgos rabdoides con marcadas atipias nucleares. Debido a su baja incidencia, no existen algoritmos diagnósticos basados en la evidencia ni recomendaciones publicadas para el tratamiento. El pronóstico es generalmente malo. Se presenta un caso de sarcoma epitelioide de tipo proximal de vulva.


Epithelioid sarcoma is a rare type of mesenchymal tumor. Proximal-type epithelioid sarcoma of the vulva is an extremely rare malignant tumor of the soft tissues with frequent recurrences due to its aggressive behaviour. Because its characteristics are similar to other benign lesions, this leads to diagnostic and therapeutic delays. Histologic features of this tumor include prominent epithelioid cells and the appearance of rhabdoid features with marked nuclear atypia. Due to its low incidence, there are no evidence-based diagnostic algorithms or published recommendations for treatment. The prognosis is generally poor. A case of proximal type epithelioid sarcoma of the vulva is presented.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Introducción: La cirugía estética genital femenina presenta una creciente demanda; sin embargo, su técnica y resultados no son bien conocidos. Objetivos. Describir los datos sociodemográficos, manifestaciones clínicas, resultados postoperatorios y la satisfacción en un grupo de mujeres a quienes se aplicó cirugía estética genital femenina. Métodos : Estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo de una base de datos institucional, en el periodo 6 de marzo de 2007 a 14 de enero de 2021. Se analizó los datos demográficos y clínicos de los registros médicos utilizando estadística descriptiva. Resultados. Se recuperaron los datos de 713 pacientes, con edad media de 34,3 años y 12 de las cuales tenían menos de 18 años. Antes de la intervención, el 87,5 % (n= 624) de pacientes estaban inconformes con el aspecto de sus genitales externos, el 74,1 % (n= 528) tenía incomodidad con sus genitales y 53,4 % (n= 381) manifestaron pérdida de gratificación sexual. Los hallazgos más comunes al examen físico fueron la hipertrofia de los labios menores (n= 616; 86,4 %) y el capuchón de clítoris redundante (n= 577; 80,9 %). La cirugía más efectuada consistió en labioplastia (n= 609; 85,4 %) y reducción del capuchón del clítoris (n= 564; 79,1 %). La satisfacción global a los 8 y 30 días fue de 99,4 % (n= 709) y 93,3 % (n= 665), respectivamente. Conclusiones : En la cohorte estudiada, las mujeres lograron altas tasas de satisfacción cosmética con los resultados quirúrgicos, y también experimentaron mejora en su satisfacción funcional. Existió una tasa baja de complicaciones.


ABSTRACT Introduction : Female genital aesthetic surgery is in increasing demand; however, its technique and results are not well known. Objectives: To describe the sociodemographic data, clinical manifestations, postoperative results and satisfaction in a group of women who underwent female genital cosmetic surgery. Methods : Descriptive, retrospective study of an institutional database, in the period March 6, 2007 to January 14, 2021. Demographic and clinical data from medical records were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: Data were retrieved for 713 patients, mean age 34.3 years, 12 of whom were younger than 18 years. Before the intervention, 87.5 % (n= 624) of patients were dissatisfied with the appearance of their external genitalia, 74.1 % (n= 528) had discomfort with their genitalia and 53.4 % (n= 381) reported loss of sexual gratification. The most common findings on physical examination were hypertrophy of the labia minora (n= 616; 86.4 %) and redundant clitoral hood (n= 577; 80.9 %). The most commonly performed surgery consisted of labiaplasty (n= 609; 85.4 %) and clitoral hood reduction (n= 564; 79.1 %). Overall satisfaction at 8 and 30 days was 99.4 % (n= 709) and 93.3 % (n= 665), respectively. Conclusions : In the cohort studied, women achieved high rates of cosmetic satisfaction with surgical results and improvement in their functional satisfaction. There was a low rate of complications.

ABSTRACT

Resumen ANTECEDENTES: El cáncer de vulva es relativamente raro, representa menos del 1% de los tumores malignos de la mujer; su incidencia aumenta con la edad. La variedad más frecuente es el carcinoma escamoso (80 al 90%), seguido del melanoma. En este reporte se revisa un carcinoma de origen glandular, como el hidradenoma papilífero del tipo glándula mamaria (mammary-like) de la vulva. CASO CLÍNICO: Paciente de 50 años, con una lesión papular en la vulva de dos años de evolución, con crecimiento lento y progresivo, ocasional sensación de masa y dolor, con colposcopia negativa, sin antecedentes de patología mamaria y con una biopsia previa que reportó hidradenoma papilífero vulvar. Se trató con resección completa de la lesión, con anestesia regional, con bordes libres, no se identificó algún componente infiltrante. En la actualidad permanece sin evidencia de recaída ni requerimiento de tratamientos adicionales durante el seguimiento. CONCLUSIÓN: El hidradenoma papilífero es una lesión benigna, poco frecuente, relacionada con las glándulas anogenitales de tipo mammary-like, con buen pronóstico. El tratamiento recomendado es la escisión quirúrgica, que casi siempre es curativa.


Abstract BACKGROUND: Vulvar cancer is relatively rare, representing less than 1% of malignant tumors in women; its incidence increases with age. The most frequent variety is squamous cell carcinoma (80 to 90%), followed by melanoma. In this report we review a carcinoma of glandular origin, such as papilliferous hydradenoma of the vulva of the mammary gland (mammary-like) type. CLINICAL CASE: We present a 50-year-old patient with 2 years evolution of a papular lesion on the vulva with slow and progressive growth, intermitent sensation of mass and pain, with negative colposcopy, no history of breast pathology and with a previous biopsy that reported vulvar papilliferous hydradenoma. She was treated with complete resection of the lesion under regional anesthesia, with free margins, without identifying an infiltrating component and currently without evidence of relapse or requirement of additional treatments. CONCLUSION: Papilliferous hidradenoma is a rare benign lesion related to the mammary-like anogenital glands, with a good prognosis and its recommended treatment is surgical excision, which is generally curative.

ABSTRACT

Resumen ANTECEDENTES: La afectación primaria del aparato genital femenino por un linfoma no Hodgkin es excepcional, se reporta en 0.2 a 1.1% de los casos. Los órganos afectados con más frecuencia son los ovarios, seguidos del cuello uterino; el endometrio y la vagina son los menos aquejados. Debido a su baja frecuencia aún no se llega a un consenso del tratamiento más adecuado de estos linfomas; hasta ahora, por lo general, se ha individualizado para cada caso en concreto. CASO CLÍNICO: Paciente de 29 años que consultó por sangrado genital anómalo e incapacidad para la inserción de tampones vaginales. En la exploración se encontró una masa pélvica, palpable a través de la vagina, que impresionaba al infiltrar toda la luz vaginal y la parte media e izquierda de la vulva. En los estudios de imagen se objetivó una gran masa pélvica de hasta 10 centímetros que parecía depender del cuello del útero y que se extendía e infiltraba el canal vaginal, la vulva y el tercio inferior de la vejiga. El reporte anatomopatológico de la biopsia fue: infiltración de pared vaginal por un linfoma no Hodgkin B difuso de células grandes. Se le indicaron seis ciclos de quimioterapia con ciclofosfamida, vincristina, adriamicina y prednisona con los que se consiguió la remisión metabólica completa. CONCLUSIÓN: El diagnóstico del linfoma genital primario puede resultar complejo por la posibilidad de simular una neoplasia ginecológica. En casos de enfermedad avanzada, la manifestación clínica más frecuente es el sangrado genital anómalo. El esquema de tratamiento más aceptado en la actualidad es con rituximab-ciclofosfamida, vincristina, adriamicina, prednisona seguido de radioterapia de consolidación.


Abstract BACKGROUND: Primary involvement of the female genital tract by non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is exceptional, reported in 0.2 to 1.1% of cases. The most frequently affected organs are the ovaries, followed by the cervix; the endometrium and vagina are the least affected. Due to their low frequency, there is still no consensus on the most appropriate treatment of these lymphomas; until now, it has generally been individualized for each specific case. CLINICAL CASE: A 29-year-old female patient consulted for abnormal genital bleeding and inability to insert vaginal tampons. On examination a pelvic mass was found, palpable through the vagina, which impressed by infiltrating the entire vaginal lumen and the middle and left side of the vulva. Imaging studies showed a large pelvic mass of up to 10 centimeters that appeared to be dependent on the cervix and that extended and infiltrated the vaginal canal, the vulva and the lower third of the bladder. The anatomopathological report of the biopsy was: infiltration of the vaginal wall by diffuse large cell non-Hodgkin's B lymphoma. She was prescribed six cycles of chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, vincristine, adriamycin and prednisone with which complete metabolic remission was achieved. CONCLUSION: The diagnosis of primary genital lymphoma can be complex because of the possibility of simulating a gynecologic neoplasm. In cases of advanced disease, the most frequent clinical manifestation is abnormal genital bleeding. The most accepted treatment scheme at present is rituximab-cyclophosphamide, vincristine, adriamycin, prednisone followed by consolidation radiotherapy.
