00:01 Our topic here is still vulvar pathology. 00:04 I’ll tell you at some point when we actually leave this behind, but this is going to be an infection of the vulvar region. 00:11 This, obviously, is referring to what's known as your HPV. 00:15 And these would be the low-risk strains since we’re talking about wart. 00:16 since we’re talking about wart. 00:19 Now, the warts here are going to be quite obvious when you actually see it. 00:24 And the type of histologic picture that you’d find with HPV, and specifically, condyloma acuminata, is accumulation of koilocytes if that helps you. 00:36 The reason that I’m emphasizing or exaggerating such a pronunciation is because you cannot afford to get acuminata confused with condylomata lata. 00:46 Condylomata lata is found with syphilis. 00:50 This is condyloma acuminata or acuminatum, and you’re accumulating koilocytes if that helps you, HPV. 00:58 Branching, tree-like proliferation of stratified squamous epithelium supported by fibrous stroma is what we’re seeing here on this histologic picture. 01:09 There’s branching, tree-like proliferation of stratified squamous, underlying fibrosis. 01:15 There will be thickened epithelium with koilocytes. 01:19 Koilocytes are these cells that are appearing as being blank or pale or empty. 01:27 And then you find a peripherally located hyper-eosinophilic nucleus. 01:32 Nuclear atypia in surface cells with perinuclear vacuolization. 01:37 So there’s going to be a clear halo in which then the nucleus has been pushed out to the side, which will then appear as being darkened. 01:45 You’ve seen this in microbiology. 01:47 I just wish to reinforce something that you’ve seen already. 01:51 These would be the low-risk strains of HPV for warts, 6 and 11. 01:55 Please do not forget about condyloma acuminata with warts. 02:00 Now what you’re seeing here on gross examination is exactly what you’d expect with warts on your left. 02:05 There’s absolutely no way that you can miss this. 02:08 On the right, the condyloma acuminata, accumulation of koilocytes. 02:12 And the cell that you see there in the middle there are those clear vacuolizations or clear halo. 02:18 And the nucleus will then appear as being hyper-eosinophilic or a little bit darker. 02:24 These are koilocytes. 02:26 We should point out to you there will be another Paget's -- Excuse me. 02:29 another vulvar disease we’ll take a look at known as Paget’s disease of the vulva, and those cells will be quite different. 02:36 They will not have clear vacuoles. 02:38 It is important that you know the histologic pictures of some of these conditions.
The lecture Condyloma Acuminatum by Carlo Raj, MD is from the course Disorders of Vulva, Vagina and Cervix.
