OtherVulvarLesions
BartholinCyst
Bartholinductcystisthemostcommon cysticgrowthinthevulva.Itoccursposteriorlyin the vulvar vestibule. Excision is usually reserved for those lesions that fail to respond to conservativemanagement.SomeinvestigatorsrecommendexcisionofBartholinglandcysts toexcludeadenocarcinomawhencystsorabscessesoccurinpatientsmorethan40yearsof age. The cyst lining can be variable: endocervical-like mucinous, squamous, and transitionalepitheliumisoftenpresent.Cellularatypia,cellularstratification,andmitotic figuresareconcerningfeatures,andshouldwarrantfullpathologicexaminationoftheentire cystwalltoexcludecarcinoma.
BartholinGlandAdenocarcinoma
Anuncommontumor,thisneoplasm affectswomen50years ofageandolder.Theclinical impression is usually that of a Bartholin duct cyst. Histologic types include
adenocarcinoma,squamouscellcarcinoma,adenoidcysticcarcinoma,andhybridtypes.
AtransitionzoneadjacenttotheBartholinglandconfirmsthediagnosis.Approximately20% ofpatientshaveipsilateralgroinlymphnodemetastasesatinitialdiagnosis.
AdenoidCysticCarcinoma
Adenoidcysticcarcinomaisaclinicallyaggressiveneoplasm.Itiscomposedofcribriform
nestscontainingeosinophilichyaline materialwithintheglandlumens,resemblingadenoid cysticcarcinomaofthesalivarygland.Likesalivaryglandadenoidcysticcarcinomas,pure adenoidcysticcarcinomasarisinginthelowergenitaltracthavebeenfoundtoharborNFIB generearrangements(35).
FibroepithelialStromalPolyp
Fibroepithelialstromalpolypsoccuronthevulvabutaremostcommonlyseeninthevagina (36).Theymaybesingleormultiple.Fibroepithelialstromalpolypsprobablyrepresenta
reactivelesionratherthanatrueneoplasm.
HidradenomaPapilliferum
Ararebenignglandularneoplasm,papillaryhidradenomausuallyoccursintheregionofthe intralabial sulcus in adult women. The tumor is well circumscribed and composed of complex, branching papillae lined by a double layer of outer myoepithelial and inner epithelialcells(37).
ExtramammaryPagetDisease
Pagetdiseaseofthe vulvaisanintraepithelialneoplasmcharacterizedbylarge,roundcells with abundant, pale cytoplasm, often forming small intracytoplasmic lumina or glandlike structures (38). Vulvar Paget disease may be primary or secondary, and presents
clinically as a red, eczematous lesion. Postmenopausal women are most commonly affected. Approximately 90% are primary and noninvasive (cutaneous), whereas 10% are associated with an underlying invasive carcinoma (cutaneous, anorectal, urothelial). All forms of Paget disease are immunoreactive for cytokeratin and epithelial membrane antigen. Classic primary cutaneous vulvar Paget disease expresses CK7 and HER2 (Fig.
6.33),whereassecondaryPaget’softenexhibitsanimmunophenotypeoftheprimarysiteof
origin.
MesenchymalTumors
A variety of specialized genital stromal neoplasms occurs in the vulvovaginal region (and occasionally in the cervix) of reproductive-aged women (38). Most are small, hormonally responsive,andclinicallyindolent.Themostcommonspecializedgenitalstromaltumorsare
angiomyofibroblastoma, cellular angiofibroma, superficial angiomyxoma, and superficial myofibroblastoma (39). Often mistaken clinically for a Bartholin gland cyst,
thesespecializedgenitalstromallesionsmayrecurlocallyifincompletelyexcised,butthey arenotassociatedwithaggressiveclinicalbehavior.
Prepubertal vulvar fibroma is unlikely to be confused with any of the typical vulvar mesenchymallesionsbecauseofitspredilectionforprepubertalfemales.Thislesion,which most commonly involves the labia majora, presents as a unilateral or rarely, bilateral, ill defined, and painless subcutaneous vulvar mass with microscopic features that suggest a hamartomatousprocess.
Other mesenchymal neoplasms that behave in a clinically benign fashion include lipoma, neurofibroma, schwannoma, granular cell tumor, glomus tumor, and hemangioma.
Dermatofibrosarcomaprotuberansisalow-gradecutaneoustumorwithahighriskfor recurrenceifincompletelyexcised.High-gradesarcomasthatmostcommonlyoccurinthe vulva include rhabdomyosarcoma, proximal epithelioid sarcoma, alveolar soft part sarcoma, peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor, and postradiation angiosarcoma.
Rarely, smooth muscle tumors may involve the vulvar region. Criteria for malignancy
differfromthoseforuterinesmooth muscletumorsandarebasedonsize (>5cm), mitotic index(>5mitoticfiguresper10high-powerfields),infiltrativemargins,andcellularatypia.
AggressiveAngiomyxoma
Aggressive angiomyxoma occurs in the deep vulvar and inguinal soft tissue and is characterizedbyapaucicellularspindlecellproliferation,separatedbyloosemyxoidstroma (Fig. 6.34). Mitotic activity is low. Despite the bland histologic appearance, it is an infiltrativetumorthatmaylocallyinvadedeeppelvicstructuresifincompletelyexcised(37). Aggressive angiomyxoma occurs most commonly during the third to fifth decades. The clinicalimpressionfrequentlyincludesBartholinglandcystorhernia;theextentofdiseaseis oftenunderestimated.
MelanocyticTumors
Malignantmelanomaaccountsfor lessthan10%ofallvulvarmalignanciesandconsistsof threetypes:mucosaloracrallentiginous,nodular,andsuperficialspreading.Upto25% of tumors are unclassified. Vulvar melanoma occurs more commonly in elderly, white women,andtypicallypresentsasanodularmassthatmaybepigmented;satellitelesionsare common.MelanomasexpressS-100protein,HMB-45,andMelanA(Fig.6.35).Clarklevels andBreslowthicknessshouldbereportedforallvulvarmelanomas.

Benign,atypical,anddysplasticnevioccurinthevulva.Benignnevimay becongenital or acquired. Atypical vulvar nevi (atypical melanocytic nevi of the genital type) occur primarilyinyoung,reproductive-agedwomenandare characterizedbyatypical,superficial melanocytes,and variably sized junctional melanocytic nests. They are distinguished from melanomas on the basis of small size, circumscription, absence of pagetoid spread, significantcytologicatypia,andmitoticactivityinthedeeperdermalmelanocytes.Atypical
vulvarnevimayappearmoreatypicalduringpregnancy.Theyarenotassociatedwith dysplasticnevielsewhere.

Dysplasticnevioccurpredominantlyinyoungerwomenandexhibitan irregularborder; microscopically, clusters of atypical spindled and epithelioid nevus cells with prominent nucleoliandnuclearpleomorphismareseen.Unlikeatypicalvulvarnevi,dysplasticvulvar
nevimaybeassociatedwithdysplasticnevielsewhereonthetrunkandextremities.
UncommonNeoplasms
Other tumors that occur in the vulva include cutaneous adnexal tumors, tumors that arise fromspecializedanogenitalmammary-likeglands,andtumorsofminorvestibularandSkene glandorigin(37).
UterineCorpus
EndometrialNeoplasms
Theendometrial morphologicchanges withwhich thegynecologiconcologist isconcerned
are limited, and chiefly involve endometrial carcinoma and its precursors. This section focusesontheseproliferations,andthosethatfigureintheirdifferentialdiagnosis.
In discussing endometrial nonsecretory proliferations, it is helpful to realize that the
endometriumcangiverisetoavarietyofepithelialphenotypesthataremorecommonly encountered in other parts of the müllerian-derived system: the ovary, the fallopian tubes, and the endocervix. The term metaplasia is used for benign epithelial proliferations of this type, and special variant carcinoma is used for the malignant patterns. Endometrial epithelial proliferations, whether benign or malignant, typically
featuremixturesofthesedifferentiatedepithelialtypes.Thecarcinomaprecursorsfeaturethis mixed epithelial phenotype in varying degrees, hence the full designation hyperplasia/metaplasia,whichistobeunderstoodwhenhyperplasiaisusedunmodified.
EndometrialHyperplasia/Metaplasia
The term endometrial hyperplasia denotes a proliferating endometrium featuring glandulararchitectural abnormalities that result in glandularcrowding and take the form of either cystic dilatation of glands (simple hyperplasia) or glandular budding (complexhyperplasia). The current WHO taxonomy stratifies hyperplastic endometria on thebasisoftheircytologicfeaturesintoatypicalendometrialhyperplasiaandnonatypical endometrialhyperplasia,thelattertermimplyingthatsignificantcytologicatypiaisabsent.
Theriskposedby hyperplasiaforthesubsequent developmentofendometrialcarcinomais roughlycorrelated withthe degree ofcytologic atypiapresent.The assessmentof atypia is subjecttoobserverdisagreement(Table6.6;Figs.6.36and6.37).

DifferentialDiagnosis
AtrophicorWeaklyProliferativeEndometriumwiththeArchitectureof Hyperplasia
Whenacomplexhyperplasia is the last unshed endometrium of a postmenopausal woman andthe epitheliumsubsequently becomesatrophic inthewakeofestrogen withdrawal,the patternoftenmimicshyperplasia.Confusionisavoidedwhenitisnotedthattheepitheliumis atrophicandnotproliferating.
Well-DifferentiatedAdenocarcinoma
Thisisthechiefdifferentialdiagnosticconsiderationandexhibitsoneofthehighestlevelsof expertdisagreementingynecologicpathology.Thedifferentialdiagnosisisdiscussedbelow.

EndometrialCarcinoma
HistologicTypes
Carcinomasmaybeclassifiedintermsoftheirdifferentiatedhistopathologicfeatures(Table
6.7). The endometrium gives rise to a variety of differentiated carcinomas, but more than
80%areglandularneoplasmsthatresembletheepitheliumfoundinendometrialhyperplasia.
Squamous or squamoid (morular) differentiation is commonly encountered in this endometrioid or usual adenocarcinoma. The term endometrioid is used to denote this
histologic pattern, and to distinguish it from endometrial, which is the generic term for carcinomasthat originatedanatomically intheendometrium. Othermüllerian-differentiated types (e.g., serous, clear cell, mucinous) make up the remainder of the endometrial carcinomas.
Endometrial carcinomas may be grouped with an eye to the hormonal (and associated epidemiologic) background in which they arise: hyperestrogenic settings (type I) or hypoestrogenicsettings(typeII).
Patients in the first group (type I) tend to be between 40 and 60 years of age, although carcinomacan developin youngerwomen, including,rarely,those intheir 20s.Theymay have a history of chronic anovulation or estrogen hormone-replacement therapy, and the carcinomas are usually well-differentiated,stage I, non-myoinvasive tumors associated withendometrial hyperplasia/metaplasia. Thelatter may befoundeither concurrently orin previousendometrialsamplings.MostofthetumorsareER-positiveandPR-positiveand
p53-negativeandexpresslowlevelsoftheproliferationantigenKi-67.Patientsinthisfirst grouphaveaveryfavorableprognosisafterhysterectomy.
