D07: Carcinoma in situ of other and unspecified genital organs
D07.3: Carcinoma in situ: Other and unspecified female genital organs
The tissue in the body is made up of cells. Cancer causes the cells to change, resulting in them multiplying uncontrollably. This leads to a malignant neoplasm (abnormal growth of tissue) developing. This abnormal and excessive tissue growth is called cancer. In your case, the cancer is limited to the skin or mucous membranes. This means that the cancer is very superficial and has not currently extended beyond a certain limit in the tissue. This also means the cancer has not yet been able to spread to other organs. However, the cancer cells can destroy the healthy tissue.
You often don’t get any symptoms with this early form of cancer.
You have an early form of cancer of the skin or the inner lining (mucous membrane) of your genitals. The internal female genitals are made up of the ovaries, the fallopian tubes, the uterus and the vagina. The genitals are surrounded by connective tissue. This includes various ligaments attaching the genitals to the pelvis.
