THE MOST OFTEN PATHOLOGICAL CHANGES OF VULVA CAUSED WITH HUMAN PAPILLOMA VIRUSES (HPV)
Vulva can easily be examined, therefore it could be expected that any changes that may emerge at it would be easy
to notice and treat quickly and efficiently. Despite that, the incidence of pre-malignant and malignant changes is increasing.
Many risk factors connected to the emerging of these changes have been discovered, but many explanations have become
available only when the theory of the participation of HPVin oncogenesis has been set. The goal of the study is to identify all
the pathological changes at vulva - benignant, pre-malignant and malignant, according to the age of the patients, and
therefore, both biopsy and operational material collected from 1331 patients treated at GAK “Narodni Front” Belgrade, has been used. There have been 46 diagnoses of benignant changes, of which 20 (43,48%) had been diagnosed as condylomata acuminata, a change including a HPV infection. Most of these changes have occurred at patients aged 31-40. In 17 cases of pre-malignant changes, VIN I has occurred in 2 cases (11,76%), and VIN II and VIN III as more serious pre-malignant lesions were noticed in 8 samples. In 7 cases (41,18%), VIN III was discovered to be moving into a starting invasion phase. It can be concluded that VIN is most often at patients aged over 60. Malignant vulva tumors occurred in 14 cases, 13 of those where diagnosed as invading planocellular carcinoma, and one of them was metastatic. Vulva carcinomas seem to occur most often at patients aged over 60.

PATHOLOGICAL CHANGES OF VAGINAACCOMPAINED WITH HUMAN PAPILLOMA VIRUS INFECTION (HPV)
Apart from great frequency of epithelian, especially preinvasive changes, some very rear diseases common for other lower parts of genital tract (cervix and vulva), are vaginal epithelian changes and especially vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VAIN). That's the reason why we don't usually think about this disease, which can have very serious consequences, especially in late discovering of changes in the stadium of invasive malign disease.The aim of this work was to diagnose all pathological changes on vagina: benign, premalign and malign, according to the age of female patients. Biopsy and operative material taken from 1331 female patients treated in Ginecology and Obstetrics Clinic “Narodni front” in Belgrade, were used in this study. The most diagnosed benign changes was condylomata acuminate (42%). Out of 20 cases of premalign changes, VAIN I was diagnosed in 5 cases (25%) as a slight degree of premalign changes, while VAIN II and VAIN III were diagnosed in 5 cases as a severe degree of premalign lesions. Out of 11 cases, there were 3 cases (27.27%) of invasive planocellar vagina carcinoma with histological degree G1N1. 8 cases (72.72%) were with histological degree G2N2, while there were not a single case with histological degree G3N3. Planocellar vagina carcinoma is the most common in the age of 41-50.

ENDOMETRIAL CARCINOMA
Endometrial carcinoma is still one of the most common malignant tumor of the female genital system in the most industrialized countries. Endometrial cancer is due to 3,9% of all female malignant tumors. The occurence of endometrial cancer varies with age. In 75% of all cases endometral carcinoma tipically occurs in postmenopausal women, with the highest incidence between 50 and 59 year. The high frequence of endometrial carcinoma in younger age is also found in women with ovarian estrogen-secreting tumors. About 10% of all endometrial carcinomas also in association with a genetic predisposition, but the most cases of endometrial carcinomas are sporadic. The most important prognostic factors for endometral carcinomas are: clinical stage, age, histopathological type and grade, as wel as hormonal receptors. Younger nulliparous women with early detected well-diferentiated endometrial carcinoma are usually treated by high doses of progesterone. Older women with endometrial carcinoma are usually treated by hysterectomy. Administration of postoperative radiation and chemiotherapy depends on clinical stage.
