Abstract

The data on the natural history of vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VaIN) available in the literature are scarce and incomplete. As a matter of fact the majority of the Authors report series with a small number of cases, which are predominantly represented by VaIN III and usually already treated. Nevertheless from the review of the literature it seems that VaIN, particularly those of low grade (I-II), tend to show a high rate of spontaneous regression. The lesions are frequently multifocal, associated with papilloma virus (HPV) infection and arising in young women. On the contrary, the VaIN showing a more aggressive behaviour are usually represented by single lesions, arising in older women. Those patients are also frequently immunosuppressed, with a history of preceding genital neoplasia and a previous exposure to radiation and/or chemotherapy.

Abstract

Background: The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic value of hysteroscopy and transvaginal ultrasonography in patients with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) in the peri and postmenopausal period., Methods: 302 patients with AUB, underwent hysteroscopy and in 86 cases, also a transvaginal ultrasonography before hysteroscopy was performed. Results were compared with the histological diagnosis., Results: The diagnostic accuracy of hysteroscopy was very high in the cases of endometrial carcinoma (sensibility 100%, specificity 99%), and lower in the cases of endometrial hyperplasia (sensibility 69%, specificity 72%) and endometrial atrophy (sensibility 29% and specificity 97%). Sonography proved to be less reliable in the diagnosis of endometrial pathology (carcinoma: sensibility 57%, specificity 100%, hyperplasia: sensibility 62.5% specificity 63%). The results of this study show that sonography may be used as a first choice diagnostic test in the investigation of women with AUB., Conclusions: Hysteroscopy represent a second diagnostic step for achieving a proper histologic diagnosis.
