Q

what is medical therapy for SAB?

A

mifepristone and misoprostol

24
Q

what is surgical intervention for SAB?

A

D and C

25
Q

what is most common location of ectopic pregnancy?

A

ampulla of fallopian tube

26
Q

what is medical therapy for an ectopic pregnancy? ho does this work?

A

methotrexate….inhibits DHFR and purine synthesis so no DNA

27
Q

what is surgical option for ectopic preganncy?

A

salpingectomy and salpingostomy

28
Q

what will be super high in a molar pregnancy?

A

bHCG

29
Q

what does ultrasound look like in molar pregnancy?

A

lots of cysts in the uterus

30
Q

what does GTD stand for?

A

gestational trophoblastic disease

31
Q

what happens in GTD?

A

abnormal trophoblast proliferation and maturation and can be neoplastic

32
Q

what is the most common form of GTD?

A

hydatiform mole

33
Q

what are the two types of hydatiform moles? which is more common?

A

complete and partial…complete more common

34
Q

what are the three less common types of GTD?

A

invasive mole
choriocarcinoma
placental site trophoblastic tumor

35
Q

what does an invasive mole invade?

A

invades into the myometrium

36
Q

what can occur with an invasive mole?

A

can metastasize

37
Q

what is genetic makeup of a complete hydatiform mole?

A

46XX or 46XY

38
Q

will there be an embryo present in complete hydatiform mole?

A

no

39
Q

describe the tissue appearance in a complete hydatiform mole

A

diffusely hydropic villi with diffuse trophoblastic proliferation and atypia

40
Q

explain how genetic makeup is determined in complete hydatiform mole

A

sperm fertilizes an empty egg and them replicates to somehow make 46XX genome usually

41
Q

what is genetic makeup of partial hydatiform mole?

A

69XXX or 69XXY

42
Q

describe the appearance of partial hydatiform mole

A

focal hydropic villi with focal trophoblastic proliferation and atypia

43
Q

is embryo present in partial hydatiform mole?

A

yes

44
Q

explain how the genetics become in a partial hydatiform mole?

A

haploid egg fertilized by two sperm

45
Q

what happens to uterus in hydatiform moles?

A

get super big

46
Q

what is classic ultrasound appearanace of hydatiform moles?

A

snowstorm pattern

47
Q

what is there more of in hydatiform moles?

A

vaginal bleeding

48
Q

what is therapy for hydatiform moles?

A

D and C

49
Q

what should patients with hydatiform moles be followed for?

A

suspected malignancy

50
Q

what can you have in ovary with complete hydatiform moles?

A

theca lutein cysts

51
Q

what are signs of malignancy after removal of hydatifrom mole?

A

plateau of HCG increase in HCG

52
Q

what is hallmark of an invasive mole?

A

hemorrhage

53
Q

what is character of choriocarcinoma?

A

sheets of cyto and syncytiotrophoblasts without chorionic villi

54
Q

what happens a lot in choriocarcinoma?

A

metastasis

55
Q

is choriocarciinoma curable?

A

very curable…even metastes

56
Q

which of complete or partial mole has greater risk of becoming malignant or converting to choriocarcinoma?

A

complete
