Credit 6 Flashcards
Most common malignant tumor of the kidney
1- Renal cell carcinoma
2- Nephroblastoma (Wilms tumor)
3- Primary tumors of the calyces and pelvis
Oncocytoma
Benign from the intercallated cells of collecting ducts
10 % of renal tumors
Genetic : chrom 1, 14, Y
Histo : plethora of mitochondria tan color, fine granular eosinophilic cytoplasm
Central stellate scar
Removed by nephrectomy (avoid bleeding)
Benign prostatic hyperplasia
90% men by 80 y
Dihydrotestosterone + 3 alpha androstanediol and increases in estrogen levels
Central and transitional region
Clinical symptoms : 10% of men
Lower urinary tract obstruction
Some -> complete obstruction -> painful distention of bladder and hydronephrosis
Increase of UTIs
Prostatic adenocarcinoma
Most common cancer in males
And 2nd death
65-75 y
More than 50% when over 80 y
Location of prostatic adenocarcinoma
Peripheral zone of the gland in a posterior location (70-80%)
Nephretic syndrome
Hematuria
Oliguria, azotemia
Hypertension
Nephrotic syndrome
Massive proteinuria
Hypoalbuminemia
Generalized edema
Hyperlipidemia lipiduria
Most frequent cause of nephrotic syndrome in children
Minimal change disease (lipoid nephrosis)
Cystine renal calculi
1% of stones in chilhood hereditary cystinuria
Calcium 75%
Calcium oxalate
Fibroadenoma
Benign biphasic tumor with epithelial and mesenchymal stromal
Under 30 y
Most common in situ breast carcinom
Ductal carcinoma
Most common invasive breast carcinoma
Carcinoma no special type
Invasive ductal carcinoma NST
In 80% of cases foci
Grading : tubule/gland formation
Nuclear pleomorphism
Mitotic count
Significantassociation bet histological grade and survival
Method by bloom
Paget disease of nipple
Presence of malign cells within the squamous epithelium almost always associated with intraductal carcinoma
