CHAPTER: GI Path Flashcards

Q

3 different types of salivary gland tumors

A

Warthin = B, germinal centers (kind of makes sense b/c parotid sep from lymph tissue late in development)
Pleomorphic adenoma = B, recurs, stroma + epi
Muco-epi-dermoid carcinoma = M, mucinous + squamous
Malignancy esp if CN 7 palsy

Q

Achalasia vs peptic stricture

A

Both tight LES
Peptic - scarring, normal peristalsis above
Achalasia - lose myenteric (movement, musc prop), uncoord or no peristalsis above

Q

What is going on if a pt has gastric tissue around belly button and in supraclavicular LN

Q

Which ulcers hemm vs perf

A
Hemm 
1. Gastric - L gastric art (less curve) 
2. POST duo - gastroduodenal art

Q

GI infection can cause what complications in kids after resolution (lymphoid hyperplasia causes)

A

Appendicitis

Leading edge for intussception often @ ileocecal jxn -> blood stools

23
Q

Stress on the R colon vs L

A

L: diverticulum @ sigmoid colon (no muscularis externa b/c go through @ vasa recta)
R: angiodysplasia = dilation of vessels causes blood poop

24
Q

If a pt is presenting with poop in their urine and LLQ pain, what are you thinking?

A

LLQ = diverticulitis

That cause coloverical fistula

25
Q

Where do Zenker diverticulums form

A

Bet thryro-pharyngeal and crico-pharyngeal parts of inf pharyngeal constrictor
Behind thyroid cartilage
Elderly men false eso diverticulum

26
Q

What is the damaged tissue in Hischsprung

A

Both plexi - can’t relax - contracted tissue is bad

27
Q

Describe presentation of malrotation

A

Bad MIDGUT rotation during development
Fibrous bands can cause duo obstruction
“From cecum + R colon to retro”

28
Q

Site of volvulus in kids vs adults

A
Kids = midgut around SMA
Adults = sigmoid around IMA
29
Q

Which art do emboli usually occlue causing acute mesenteric ischemia

A

SMA - pain out of proportion

30
Q

What is an ileus

A

Hypomotility w/o obstruction = constipation w/o gs

Associated with hypoL

31
Q

Where hyperplastic polyps

A

Recto-sigmoid

Not cancer

32
Q

2 types adenomatous polyps - mutation

A

Villous worse than tubular

APC/KRAS (FAP)

33
Q

HNPCC
Mutation
Type polyp
Area of colon

A
AD 
X DNA mismatch repair (BRAF)
MIS
Prox colon always
Serrated polyps = saw tooth crypts
Arises de novo - not from polyp
↑risk GYN + CRC cancer
34
Q

Mut + area of colon involved with FAP

A

Chr 5q APC mutated tumor suppressor gene, AD
Always rectum
Adenomatous polyps

35
Q

Cancer risk for Peutz Jeghers vs juvenille polyposis syndrome

A

Both AD
PJ = hamartomatous polyps + hyperpig mucosal freckles, ↑breast + GI cancer
JPS = hamartomatous polyps, ↑CRC

36
Q

Cytokine that cause fibrosis in cirrhosis

A

TGF beta

37
Q

What does gamma glutamyl transferase tell you

A

Liver or biliary disease causing ↑ALP

38
Q

Histo Reye syndrome

A

ASA X mito enzymes (↓B ox)

Mitochondrial abnormalities + fatty liver change

39
Q

What is in a Mallory body

A

Alcoholic hepatitis - eos intra-cytoplasmic inclusions

Damaged keratin

40
Q

Treat hepatic encephalopathy

A

Lactulose

Rifaximin or neomycin - ↓bacteria making NH4 in the gut

41
Q

Mechanism by which Aspergillus causes HCC

A

p53 mut

42
Q

Cell marker for HCC

A

↑AFP

43
Q

2 chemicals that ↑risk angiosarcoma

A

Arsenic

Vinyl chloride

44
Q
Gilbert synd
Crigler Najjar
Dubin Johnson
Rotor
Physiologic jaundice of newborn
A
UDP glucuronosyltransferase makes CBR
G: ↓UDP, benign
CN: XUDP = jaundice, kernicterus, death
DJ: defective liver excretion = black liver (incidental)
Rotor: milder DJ, no black liver 
PJN: ↓UDP to start
45
Q

Acute vs chronic hepatitis histo

A

Acute: inflam lobules + portal tract, hepatocyte apoptosis

Chronic = > 6mo, portal tract inflam

46
Q

Mut + trt Wilson disease

A

Ch 13 AR mut liver Cu transporting ATPase

Penicillamine, trientine, oral Zn

47
Q

Mut + presentation + trt hemochromatosis

A

Ch 6 AR, bad sensing, liver thinks you’re deplete, ↑intestinal absorption
