Q

How does the ovary differ from the testicle?

A

OVary = dual blood supply

Just because you have flow, does NOT mean there isn’t a torsion.

Q

Where is Ovarian Vein Thrombophlebitis usually located?

A

80% of the time it’s on the right.

17
Q

Dreaded sequela of Ovarian Vein Thrombophlebitis

A

Pulmonary embolus

Tx - anticoagulation,

18
Q

Peritoneal Inclusion Cyst occurs when?

A

Adhesions envelop an ovary

19
Q
A

Peritoneal Inclusion Cyst

“Adhesions around an Ovary”

“Passive shape” that conforms to and is defined by surrounding structures.

20
Q

A woman of reproductive age + Hx endometriosis + Pelvic surgery and PID

+ fluid filled mass = surrounds ovary + conforms to the shape of the pelvis

A

Peritoneal inclusion cyst

21
Q

Most common form of Gestational Trophoblastic Disease

A

Hydatidiform Mole

22
Q

Two subtypes of Hydatidiform Mole

A
  1. Complete (70%)
  2. Partial
23
Q

This type of H-Mole involves the entire placenta.

A

Complete

24
Q
A

Complete Hydatidiform Mole

“snowstorm” appearance in the first trimester

uterus to be filled with an echogenic, solid, highly vascular mass,

25
Q
A

Complete Hydatidiform Mole

“bunch of grapes” appearance in the 2nd trimester

uterus to be filled with an echogenic, solid, highly vascular mass,

26
Q

H-mole + portion of the placenta + jacked up fetus (triploid in karyotype)

= lethat to the fetus

A

Partial H-mole

27
Q

fertilizationofanovumbytwo sperm (69XXY)

A

Partial H-mole

28
Q
A

Parial Hydatidiform mole

29
Q

What cysts are seen in molar pregnancies?

A

Theca lutein cysts

Most commonly bilateral in the 2nd trimetster

30
Q

When can you see an invasive mole?

A

After treatment of H-mole (10%)

31
Q
A

Invasive mole

focal myometrial masses, dilated vessels, and areas of hemorrhage and necrosis.

32
Q

This is a very aggressive malignancy that forms only trophoblasts (no villous structure).

A

Choriocarcinoma

33
Q

How does Choriocarcinoma spread?

A

locally

into myometrium + parametrium = spread hematogeneous to ANY site

34
Q

Evacuation of molar pregnancy + Inc B-HCG in 8-10 weeks

A

Choriocarcinoma

35
Q
A

Choriocarcinoma

a highly echogenic solid mass.

Tx = methotrexate
