Genitourinary Disease Flashcards
hypospadias
penile malformation
- opening along ventral
- UTI
epispadias
penile malformation
- opening along dorsal aspect
- UT obstruction
- urinary incontinence
squamous cell carcinoma- premalignant lesions
penile lesion
-solitary white/red plaque
-epi dysplasia
~10% gets invasive
Bowen Disease?
penile squamous cell carcinoma in-situ
squamous cell carcinoma
penile lesion
- rare among circumcised men early on
- crusted papule w/ ulceration/irregular margins
- metastases: rare
survival: 66% for localized; 27% with metastases in inguinal lymph nodes
first human malignancy associated with environmental influences?
squamous cell carcinoma of the scrotum
scrotum neoplasms are rare but more disorders involve what?
the testes
-scrotum can have inflammatory processes/fungal infections/systemic dermatoses
cryptorchidism
testes disorder
- incomplete decent from abdomen to scrotum
- 1% of 1 yr olds
- uni or bilateral= STERILITY
- 3-5x risk of testicular cancer
-orchiopexy reduces risk of sterility and cancer (surgery to bring down)
epididymitis and orchitis
testis inflammation
- epi most common
- swelling/tender
- UTI
- associated with STDs
- mumps complications (~20%)
torsion of testes
vascular disturbances
- twisting of spermatic cord
- venous obstruction–> vascular engorgement
- adolescences, sudden onset of pain
- UROLOGIC EMERGENCY: infarction will occur
testicular tumors- general info
- 6 in 100,000
- incidences 15-34 yrs
- most common cause of painLESS testicular enlargment
testicular tumors- heterogenous group of tumors (where)
-germ cells: 95%= malignant
s
testicular tumors- heterogenous group of tumors (where)
- germ cells: 95%= malignant
- stertoli/leydig cells (sex cord stromal tumors): 5%= benign
germ cell tumors
testicular tumor
- seminomas vs non seminomatous
- greater freq in undescended testis (3-5 fold)
- only 10% have hx crytochidism
- often mixed/multiple cell type, but can be pure/single
seminomas germ cell tumor
testicular tumor
- epithelium of seminiferous tubules (less aggressive)
- stays in testis long time–> can spread to lymphatics
- responds well to chemo, radio
- ONE OF THE MOST CURABLE CANCERS
non-seminomatous germ cell tumor
testicular tumor
-spreads early via lymphatics/blood vessels (even small tumors)
-markers: alpha fetoprotein and human chorionic gonadotropin
-prognosis better with newer chemo regimes
types:
-embryonal
-choriocarcinoma- very very aggressive
germ cell prognosis
-8,000 new cases,
prostatitis
prostate inflammatory lesions
- enlarged/tender
- caused by BAC with UTIs-e. coli
- acute or chronic
- clinically silent, may have dysuria (pain peeing), frequency, low back pain, pelvic pain
–important cause of recurrent UTIs in men
nodular hyperplasia of prostate =
benign prostatic hyperlasia (BPH)
nodular hyperplasia of prostate affects where
- inner periurethral zone compressing prostatic urethra
- proliferation of stromal and glandular elements
nodular hyperplasia
- common= 20% men affected at age 40, 90% at age 70
- clinical symptoms= hesitancy, urgency, nocturia, poor urinary stream
- chronic obstruction comes before recurrent UTI
- etiology= no idea- maybe hormonal= local increase of ANDROGENS
nodular hyperplasia tx
- medical managment= drugs
- surgical (TURP)
adenocarcinoma
carcinoma of prostate
- most common cancer of men over 50= 25% cancer, only 9% die
- can be clinically “latent”= 50% men over age 80
- metastasis: lymph nodes/bone
adenocarcinoma cause and location
carcinoma of prostate
- unknown cause: may be androgens, genes, environment
- outer (peripheral) glands, palpable by digital rectal exam
- -more malignant
