Ch 21 Flashcards
Opening of urethra on inferior surface of penis as seen in hypospadias is due to failure of what embryological process?
urethral folds to close
Opening of the urethra on superior surface of penis as seen in Epispadias is due to what embryological process?
Abnormal positioning of genital tubercle. also associated with bladder extrophy
A benign warty growth on genital skin due to HPV 6 or 11 characterized by koilocytic change is known as
Condyloma acuminatum
Necrotizing granulomatous inflammation of inguinal lymphatics and lymph nodes commonly caused by chlamydia trachomatis (L1-3) is known as _
Lymphogranuloma venereum. Can cause fibrosis or perianal area resulting in rectal structures
Malignant proliferation of squamous cells of penile skin leading to ssqumaous cell carcinoma have three precursor lesions. what are they?
- Bowen disease
- Erythroplasia of Queyrat (glans)
- Bowenoid papulosis (reddish papules)
A 40 year old male finally presents to to his doctor complaining of abnormal lesion on the shaft of his penis. The doctor worried that it might be cancerous does a biopsy and finds that epidermis tissue is hyperproliferative with some atypical mitosis and have large hypercrhomatic neuclei and lack orderly mutation. Doc does some further viral testing and finds pt is positive for HPV 16. What is the most likely diagnosis?
B. this lesion has the potential to become what?
Bowen’s disease.
B. Squamous cell carcinoma of the penis
Both bowen’s disease and bowenoid papulosis have strong association with what infection?
HPV 16
Complete or partial failure of the testes to descend into the scrotal sac with testicular dysfunction has an increased risk of developing what cancer?
Cryptorchidism is associated with germ cell tumor (seminoma)
In younger adults, common bugs causing orchitis includes _. In older adults _
younger adults: Chamydia (D-K) or N. Gonorrhoeae.
Older adults: E coli and pseudomonas
In nonspecific inflammatory orchitis, edema and infiltration by neutrophils macrophages and lymphocytes starts _ and then spreads to _ with possible abscess formation.
Starts in interstitial CT and spreads to tubules
A middle aged men presents to clinic with tender testicular mass of sudden onset. Upon work up, it was determined to be granulomatous orchitis. This form of orchitis is distinguished by granulomas restricted to _
Spermatic tubules.
A person with Bell-clapper abnormality are at risked risk of what testicular disorder?
Testicular torsion.
What kind of infarcts are associated with testicular torsion?
Hemorrhagic since the arteries remain open brining blood in, but the thin walled veins are closed.
Testicular varicocele affects veins in _ on _ side of the body.
Veins in the spermatic cord on the left side of the body.
Testicular hydrocele are fluid collection within what structure and due to what?
Tunica vaginalis. Associated with incompelte closure of processus vaginalis (infants) or lymphatic block of drainage (adults)
What is the common presentation of testicular tumors?
Firm, painless that cannot be transilluminated.
What are the two common class of testicular tumors
- Germ cell tumors
2. Sex-cord stromal tumors
what is the age group commonly affected by germ cell tumors of the testes?
15-40
Environmental factors causing Germ tumors of the testis include -
- testicular dysgenesis syndrome
- cryptorchidism
- hypospadias
- Poor sperm quality
- Klinefelter (highest risk)
What genetic factors are linked to Germ cell tumors of the testes?
- Strong familial predisposition linked to TK’s KIT and BAK
Germ cell tumors of testes is divided into what two broad categories?
- Seminomas (cells that resemble primordial germ cells)
2. Nonseminomas (undifferentiated cells that resemble embryonic stem cells)
Grossly how do seminomas appear?
Homogenous mass with NO hemorrhage or necrosis.
Except for pediatric yolk sac tumors, teratomas, speratocytic seminomas, most germ cells tumors arise form what precursor lesion?
Intratubular germ cell neoplasia (ITGCN). Stays dorment until puberty and then can become seminomas or nonseminomas
ITGCN retains expression of what transcription factors/cells?
B. genetic alterations are seen in what chromosome?
C. Activation mutation in gene encoding _ receptors
TF OCT3/4
pluripotent stem cells: NANOG.
B. reduplication of short arm of chromosome 12
C. KIT receptor tyrosine kinase
