• differentiated vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia
  19 April

  differentiated vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia p16- "simplex" or "differentiated type", negative for HPV and affecting elderly women. Premenopausal women are more likely to get usual type VIN, associated with HPV. Postmenopausal women are more likely to get differentiated (aka simplex) type VIN, associated with vulvar dermatoses. VIN, differentiated type is associated with vulvar dermatoses such as lichen sclerosus, and is HPV negative, p16 (INK4A) negative. It tends to have high p53 (...)

  uVIN; usual type VIN WKP PO
  Definition : Vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) is "usual type" or "classic type", related to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and affecting relatively young women.
  The usual type includes warty type, basaloid type and mixed (warty and basaloid) type.
  The usual type is HPV associated - it is positive for p16, negative or has low indices for p53, and MIB-1 is strongly positive above the basal layer.
  VIN, usual type (including the (...)

• Bartholin gland
  5 March

  Bartholin gland WKP
  Definition: The Bartholin’s glands (also called Bartholin glands or greater vestibular glands) are two pea sized compound racemose glands, located slightly posterior and to the left and right of the opening of the vagina.
  They secrete mucus to lubricate the vagina and are homologous to bulbourethral glands in males.
  However, while Bartholin’s glands are located in the superficial perineal pouch in females, bulbourethral glands are located in the deep perineal pouch (...)

  Adj. vulvar WKP
  Definition: The vulva consists of the external female sex organs.
  The vulva includes the mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, vulval vestibule, clitoris, the bulbs of the vestibule, urinary meatus, the vaginal opening, and vestibular glands : Bartholin glands and Skene glands.
  The urinary meatus is also included as it opens into the vulval vestibule.
  Other features of the vulva include: the pudendal cleft , sebaceous glands, the urogenital triangle (anterior (...)

• usual vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia
  10 March 2017

  uVin; u-VIN
  Definition: The term vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) introduced in 1986 incorporates 3 grades of usual VIN (u-VIN I-III) and the differentiated VIN (d-VIN).
  Although u-VIN is etiologically associated with the human papillomavirus (HPVs) infection, d-VIN represents an alternative HPV negative pathway of vulvar carcinogenesis.
  In 2004, the u-VIN I category was abandoned and u-VIN II and III were merged. Further, an alternative Bethesda-like terminology scheme presenting (...)
