Answer: A. Refer to a gynecologist for biopsy.

Vulvular squamous cell hyperplasia causes thickening and hyperkeratosis of the vulva. The lesions are red and moist and cause intense pruritus over time the area becomes thickened and a white plaque may develop. Biopsy must be done to evaluate for intraepithelial neoplasm or invasive tumor.

2. A 30 year-old female presents to the emergency department with a syncopal episode. She has a history of irregular menstrual cycles and infertility. She has scanty, persistent vaginal bleeding and sharp pelvic pain. A left adnexal mass is palpated. The most likely diagnosis is

A. placenta abruptio.

B. ectopic pregnancy.

C. pelvic inflammatory disease.

D. ruptured ovarian cyst.

Click here to see the answer

Answer B. ectopic pregnancy.

Infertility increases the risk of developing ectopic pregnancy. The onset of vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain, and formation of an adnexal mass makes this the most likely diagnosis.

Bacterial endocarditis presents as febrile illness lasting several days to weeks, commonly with nonspecific symptoms, echocardiogram often reveals vegetations on affected valves.

6. A 45 year-old male presents with abdominal pain and one episode of mild hematemesis, which happened days ago. On physical examination, vital signs are stable and he is in no acute distress. Hemoglobin and hematocrit are unremarkable; endoscopy reveals non-bleeding small superficial ulceration of the duodenal bulb. Rapid urease test is positive. Which of the following is the most appropriate treatment at this time?

A. Schedule for a selective vagotomy and antrectomy
