Q

Describe CIN

A

Epithelium changes sometimes lead to invasive carcinoma. Some regress, some do not go on to cancer. Dysplasia of the cervical epithelium. Is graded on severity of changes. Evaluated by cytologic or biopsy.
CLINICALLY-peak at 30 years. Intercourse at early age, multiple partners, persistence of HPV infection.

Q

Q

Endometrial carcinoma

A

Ages 55 to 65,
risk factors are obesity, diabetes, hypertension, infertility.
Occurs as endometriotic pattern or serous pattern
Endometria -usually Perry menopausal woman excess estrogen
Serous-Usually atropic or in polyps
Clinically depends on stage; Sirus can spread more extensively with minimal invasion of uterus.
Stage depends invasion of myometrium

Q

Ovaries

Name to pathologies

A

Polycystic ovary/Stein-Leventhal syndrome
-large ovaries with multiple sub cortical cyst,, excessively produce androgens, oligomenorrhea, hirsutism, infertility, obesity

Physiologic cysts - follicular or luteal

16
Q

Surface epithelial tumors

A

Tumors that come from mesothelium on surface of ovary.

Can be: benign, borderline (tumors of low malignant potential), or malignant.

17
Q

Serous tumors

A

Most common of surface epithelial tumors.
Peak 30 to 40 years; malignant 45 to 65.
60% benign, 15% borderline, 25% malignant, sizes vary; can be very large, complexity/presence of solid tissue, clinical depends on stage;
Names: serous cyst adenoma-benign, serous cyst adenocarcinoma-malignant.

18
Q

Mucinous tumors

A
  • Similar to serous tumors.
  • Less likely to be malignant, 10% or malignant, more likely to be larger, mucinous cystadenoma or mucinous cystadenocarcinoma.
  • Can rupture to peritonial cavity - pseudomyxoma peritonei. Most of these are from metastasis from G.I. tract-appendix.
19
Q

Endometrioid tumors

A

Can be solid or cystic,
develop in background of endometriosis,
can be borderline; most or malignant.

20
Q

Brenner tumors

A

Uncommon,
solid,
consists of transitional type epithelium,
most are benign; malignancies can occur.

21
Q

Teratomas

A

15 to 20% of ovarian neoplasms,
first two decades of life,
younger the patient the more likely the malignancy,
most are benign,
–Benign (mature) Cystic Teratoma- 1)contains derivations of all three germ cell layers, 2)are cystic and contain skin/epidermal structures- “dermoid cyst”
–Immature Malignant Teratoma- average age of 18 years old, mostly solid
–Monodermal Teratomas- contain one cell line - example: struma ovaries -thyroid

22
Q

Germ cell tumors

A
  • Dysgerminoma-equivalent of seminoma and testicle.
  • Choriocarcinoma
  • Sex Chord stromal tumor’s are benign
  • —Granulosa thecal cell produces estrogen’s
  • —Thecoma fibroma usually hormonally inactive
  • —Sertoli-Leydig cell are masculinizing
23
Q

Diseases of pregnancy

Gestational trophoblast if disease

A

HYDATIDIFORM MOLE
-Chorionic villi are cystic ally dilated, grape like structures.
-Complete moles-diploid, usually 46XX - have no fetal development.
-Incomplete moles - triploid, 69XXY - may have a fetal development.
INVASIVE MOLE - complete moles that are locally but do not metastasize.
CHORIOCARCINOMA
Aggressive tumors that arise from trophoblastic tissue or from totipotent cells of gonads.

Q

Placental pathologies

Name five

A

Chorioamnionitis - inflammation of membranes
Villitis- inflammation of chorionic villi

26
Q

Breast
Hyperplasias
Fibrocystic changes

A

Result of a variety of types of hyperplasia

Actually a mixture of different pathologies

27
Q

Breast
Cysts and fibrosis
Define

A
  • Fibrous stroma of the breast increases
  • Have associated dilation of ducts and formation of cysts
  • No association with carcinoma
28
Q

Epithelial hyperplasia/proliferative fibrocystic changes

A

ORDERLY Hyperplasia’s
- epithelium is increased but maintains normal geography and cellular appearance
ATYPICAL HYPERPLASIAS
-the architecture of the cells becomes abnormal.
-the cytology of the cells are altered
-can be found in ducal or lobular patterns.
CANCER RISKS
-hyperplasia without atypia - slightly increased (1.5-2 times)
-with atypia - significantly increased risk (five times)

29
Q

Neoplasms

name two

A

Fibroadenoma
- most common benign neoplasm of breast
-peak incidence -3rd decade
-usually solitary a and discrete
-may enlarge w menstrual cycle and during pregnancy
PHYLLODES TUMOR-(formerly CYSTOSARCOMA PHYLLODES)
-much less common
-can grow very large
-usually benign
-malignant lesions new reoccur; usually do not metastasize

30
Q

Carcinoma of the breast

name risk factors

A

More common in North America
uncommon women under 30,
5 to 10% related to specific inherited mutations, family history,
prolonged exposure to exogenous estrogens post menopausal,
ionizing radiation

31
Q

Types of carcinoma of the breast

noninvasive types, (has not invaded basement membrane)

name invasive types

A 
Noninvasive- 
Ductal carcinoma in situ
Lobular or carcinoma in situ
Invasive (invades out of ducts and lobules)-
Is less common, 
medullary carcinoma, 
colloid carcinoma (mucinous), 
tubular carcinoma
32
Q

Carcinoma of the breast

complications/variations

A
  • Paget’s disease of the nipple-progress of DCIS into lactiferous ducts and the skin of nipple.
  • inflammatory carcinoma-extensive invasive carcinoma throughout the breast with blockage of lymphatics-large swollen breast.
33
Q

Carcinoma of the breast

clinically

A

Mammography for detection
Prognosis: size of primary lesion less than 1 cm favorable without evidence of metastasis,
lymph node involvement - if no involvement five years survival rate 90%
if 16 or more nodes less than 50% survival rate.
Distant metastasis-Seldom curable can respond to therapy.
Grade of carcinoma.
Histologic type.
Estrogen receptors presence or absence. Proliferative rate.
Aneuploidy worse. Overexpression of Her2/Neu - Poor prognosis
