Q

Nephroblastoma/Wilm’s tumor - who gets it?

Prognosis?

A

common in children 2-4yrs

prognosis = favorable. anaplastic histology = bad. worse prognosis for older children

Q

pathology of nephroblastoma/Wilm’s tumor

A

large w/ fleshy, lobulated appearance - palpated on PE

undifferentiated cells

anaplastic Wilm’s: atypical nuclei w/ prominent nucleoli and mitotic activity = worse prognosis

17
Q

urothelial transitional cell tumors - multiplicity and multicentricity

A

common for multiple tumors to pop up at the same or different time, in the same place or elsewhere in the tract b/c urothelium undergoes field change

18
Q

what is the major risk factor for bladder cancer ?

A

smoking

19
Q

how to dx bladder cancer?

histologic appearance

A

cytology, cystoscopy w/ biopsy

appearance: papillary like brocoli heads

20
Q

what is this?

A

bladder cancer

21
Q

what is this?

A

urothelial carcinoma-in-situ

no maturation from BM to top

22
Q

upper urothelial tract cancer

A

not as common as renal cell carcinoma

epi: elderly, more common in males
presentation: hematuria
