RESUMO
Objective. To compare the psychosexual impact related to the treatment of genital warts and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) in women. Methods. 75 patients presenting with HPV-induced genital lesions, belonging to one of two patient groups, were included in the study: 29 individuals with genital warts (GWs) and 46 individuals with CIN grades 2 or 3 (CIN 2/3). Initially, medical charts of each woman were examined for extraction of data on the type of HPV-induced infection and treatment administered. Subjects were interviewed to collect sociodemographic data as well as personal, gynecologic, obstetric, and sexual history. After this initial anamnesis, the Sexual Quotient-Female Version (SQ-F) questionnaire was applied to assess sexual function. After application of the questionnaire, patients answered specific questions produced by the researchers, aimed at assessing the impact of the disease and its treatment on their sexual lives. Results. It is noteworthy that patients with CIN 2/3 had statistically similar classification of sexual quotient to patients with GWs (P = 0.115). However, patients with GWs more frequently gave positive answers to the specific questions compared to patients with CIN 2/3. Conclusion. Based on these findings, it is clear that GWs have a greater impact on sexual behavior compared to CIN 2/3.
RESUMO
Apesar de rara, a doença de Paget extramamária recorrente da vulva (DPEMr-V) é uma condição grave porque, subjacente à malignidade interna, podem acompanhar lesões cutâneas superficiais. A doença de Paget extramamária é uma condição caracterizada por erupção cutânea crônica tipo eczema de pele ao redor da região anogenital em homens e mulheres. Sob o microscópio,é muito parecida com o tipo mais comum da doença de Paget mamária, que ocorrena mama. A doença de Paget extramamária ocorre mais comumente em mulheres com idades entre 50 a 60 anos. Contudo, a excisão cirúrgica é o padrão geralmente aceito para a DPEMr-V. As taxas de recorrência da DPEMr-V são altas, apesar da intervenção cirúrgica agressiva. O tratamento tópico com imiquimod creme a 5% pode ser eficaz na remoção de lesões. Relatamos o caso de uma mulher de 72 anos com DPEMr-V comprovada por biópsia, tratada com sucesso com imiquimod, com aplicações três vezes por semana, durante 6 semanas.
Although rare, extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a serious condition because underlying internal malignancy may accompany superficial cutaneous lesions.Extramammary Paget disease is characterised by a chronic eczema-like rash of the skin around the anogenital regions of males and females. Underthe microscope it looks very similar to the more common type of mammary Paget´s disease that occurs on the breast. Extramammary Paget disease mostcommonly occurs in women aged between 50-60 years. Although surgical excision is the generally accepted standard of care for EMPD. The EMPD-Vrecurrence rates are high despite aggressive surgical intervention, treatment with topical imiquimod 5 percent cream has reportedly been efficacious inclearing lesions.We report the case of a 72-year-old woman with biopsy-proven EMPD-V of the thigh treated successfully with imiquimod application thrice weekly for 6 weeks.

A neoplasia intraepitelial cervical (NIC) representa uma das manifestações subclínicas da infecção pelo papilomavírus humano (HPV). O diagnóstico e o tratamento dessas lesões são de grande importância, pelo fato de estarem intimamente relacionadas à gênese do câncer do colo uterino. Este artigo propõe-se a fazer uma revisão sobre os principais aspectos da epidemiologia, da história natural, do diagnóstico e do tratamento das NIC.
Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) represent one of subclinical manifestations by Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Diagnostic and treatment of CIN are extremely important because they are related with the carcinogenesis of cervical cancer. This article attempts to carry out a review on the main epidemiological data, natural history, diagnostic and treatment of CIN.
