Abstract

Ligneous disease involving the female genital tract is a very rare entity. We present a case of a patient who admitted to our clinic with the complaints of dyspareunia, postcoital bleeding and infertility. On speculum examination a nulliparous cervix with white plaques and hemorrhagic lesions around ostium were seen. Multiple samples were taken from the cervical lesions and histopathologic diagnosis was ligneous cervicitis and low grade cervical intraepithelial lesion. According to the characteristics of the disease, a conjunctival examination and biopsy were performed. Similar microscopic features in cervix were also determined and reported as ligneous conjunctivitis. She used cyclosporine and oral contraceptives in the following six months but there was no improvement on either ocular or genital lesions.

Özet

Dişi genital yolunu tutan lignöz hastalık çok nadir bir durumdur. Bu olgu sunumunda disparoni, postkoital kanama ve infertilite şikayetleriyle kliniğimize başvuran bir hastayı bildirmekteyiz. Spekulum muayenesinde ostium etrafında beyaz plaklar ve kanamalı lezyonlar olan nulliparöz bir serviks saptandı. Servikal lezyonlardan çoklu biyopsiler yapıldı. Histopatolojik tanı lignöz servisit ve düşük dereceli intraepitelyal lezyon şeklinde geldi. Hastalığın özellikleri göz önünde bulundurularak, konjuktiva muayenesi ve biyopsi yapıldı. Servikal lezyonların mikroskobik özelliklerine benzer bulgular saptandı ve lignöz konjuktivit olarak raporlandı. Takip eden 6 ayda siklosporin ve oral kontraseptif kullanan hastanın oküler ve genital lezyonlarında bir gelişme saptanmadı.
