Example 1: A 30-year-old female presents with irregular vaginal bleeding. During a pelvic examination, a small, smooth mass is discovered in the vaginal wall. A biopsy confirms a benign neoplasm., A 55-year-old female reports experiencing vaginal pressure and discomfort.Imaging reveals a benign neoplasm within the vaginal canal causing slight obstruction. , A 45-year-old female undergoes a routine gynecological check-up. An incidental finding on ultrasound reveals a small, asymptomatic benign vaginal neoplasm.The decision is made to monitor the neoplasm for any changes.
Documentation should include details of the pelvic examination findings, imaging results (if performed), biopsy results, and treatment plan.
