Q

How does HPV cause cervical dysplasia?? which proteins are involved?

A

The virus has 2 proteins: E6 + E7 which bind to and inactivate TSGs

25
Number of chromosomes in a complete mole egg?
46XX (empty egg fertilised by two sperm or one sperm with duplicated DNA)
26
What is adenomyosis?
Endometrial tissue deep within the myometrium
27
name 3 types of non-neoplastic ovarian cysts
follicular and luteal cysts | endometrioitic cysts
28
Which type of cancer is endometriosis a strong risk factor for?
Ovarian cancer (particularly clear cell and endometroid)
29
2 protective factors for ovarian cancer
Pregnancy and COCP
30
3 main groups of ovarian cancer, which is most common?
Epithelial - most common Stromal/ sex cord Germ cell
31
Types of epithelial ovarian cancer
Serous, mucinous, endometroid, clear cell
32
2 main types of benign ovarian tumours
Serous cystadenoma | Mucinous cystadenoma
33
Most common type of epithelial ovarian tumour
Serous cystadenocarcinoma
34
Age distribution of germ cell ovarian tumours?
Bimodal age distribution (young and old peak)
35
In what age group do you commonly see sex cord/stromal tumours?
post-menopausal
36
How are epithelial ovarian carcinomas divided?
Type I and type II
37
Difference between type I and type II ovarian epithelial carcinomas?
Type I: low grade serous, endomtrioid, clear cell, mucinous, precursor lesions Type II: HIGH grade, mostly high grade serous
38
Which mutation commonly seen in serous ovarian cancers?
BRCA
39
Which mutation in mucinous and endometrioid?
HNPCC
40
Clear cell ovarian carcinoma main risk factor?
Endometriosis
41
Main mutations in type I epithelial ovarian carcinomas
BRAF, K-RAS
42
mAIN Mutation in type II epithelial ovarian carcinoma?
p53
43
Psammoma bodies?
Serous epithelial ovarian cancer
44
WhICH epithelial ovarian cancer has the best prognosis?
Endometrioid
45
Why are clear cells clear?
Lots of intracellular glycogen
46
What kind of epithelium are benign serous epithelial cancers lined with?
Bland epithelium
47
Name some examples of sex cord/stromal ovarian cancers
Fibromas, Thecomas, granulosa cell tumours, sertoli-leydig cell tumours
48
Germ cell tumours predominantly benign or malignant?
95% benign
49
Which female tumour is the counterpart for testicular seminoma?
DYSGERMINOMA (type of germ cell tumour)
50
What is the most common type of germ cell tumour?
mature teratoma
51
Differences between mature and immature teratoma
``` Mature = benign, adult-type tissues present Immature = MALIGNANT, embryonal tissue ```
52
Meig's syndrome?
Ascites, pleural effusion, fibroma
53
Krukenberg tumour
bilateral. ovarian mets from GI cancer, mucin producing signet-ring cells
54
o Children of women with threatened abortion treated with diethyl stilbosterol --> risk of what kind of tumour?
Vaginal clear cell adenocarcinoma
55
most common ovarian tumour in younger women?
Mature teratoma
56
HPV infection can either be latent or productive, what does this mean?
Latent: HPV DNA resides within the cells but viral DNA replication is coupled with replication of epithelial cells so the virus only replicates when the host cells replicate. Complete viral particles are not produced and cellular changes associated with HPV are not seen.  Productive: HPV DNA replicates independently of host epithelial cells + cytological changes seen
57
In metastatic ovarian cancer, where is the primary cancer likely to be?
COLON
58
thinning of vulval epithelium with underlying hyalinization
LICHEN SCLEROSUS
59
Endometrioid ovarian epithelial carcinoma is often found alongside which other type of cancer?
Endometroid ovarian carcinoma often found alongside endometroid endometrial carcinoma
