Q

3 features of prostate adenocarcinoma histo

A
  1. Small glands infiltrate normal tissue
  2. Malignant epi - glands have only 1 layer epi

Q

TESTQ: what is the basis of grading prostate cancer? (Gleason score)

A
ARCHITECTURE
NOT nuclei (normal grading criteria)
19
Q

Where will prostate adenocarcinoma met to?

A

Inguinal LN

BONE - L vertebrae: look for sclerotic nodules within the vertebrae

20
Q

Options to treat prostate carcinoma

A

Surg - remove it
Radiotherapy - brachy or external beam
Hormonal
Chemo for mets

21
Q

What is cryptorchidism? Treat?

A

Undescended testicles

If don’t descend on own before 2, surgery to prevent infertility + cancer

22
Q

Describe normal testicle histo

A

Seminiferous tubules - germ cells at base, prolif as move into lumen as mature sperm
Sertoli cells here = nurturing
Leydig cells between tubules to provide androgens

23
Q

What inflammatory diseases of the testes?

A

Epididymo-orchitis: acute vs tuberculous (will see granulomas in the testes!)

24
Q

What is testicular torsion? Pt pop

A
Testes twist in sac - collapse the thin walled vein
Blood still entering through the artery
Painful + hemorrhagic infarct
EMERGENCY
Peaks during 1 yo + puberty
25
Q

Pt population and presentation of germ cell tumors

A

White, young pts (15-30)

Painless testicular mass

26
Q

What is a seminoma? Gross appearance + treat

A

Pure germ cell tumor
Homogen gray/white mass
Treat = sen to rad + chemo

27
Q

Histo seminoma

A

Looks like the germ cells:

  1. Clear cytoplasm + large nucelus w/ nucleoli
  2. Cell divided by fibrous stroma w/ lymphocytes
28
Q

What lab value is positive in seminomas?

A

PLAP = placental alk phos +

29
Q

What is a spermatocytic seminoma?

A

NOT A SEMINOMA TUMOR

  1. No lymphocytes
  2. PLAP neg
  3. 55 yo +
  4. Treat by removing testicle - no chemo/rad
30
Q

What are non-seminomatous germ cell tumors?

A

Tumors of germ cells in different stages of development to mature sperm
Usually mixed for this reason
Might have seminoma component - just starts at an earlier step (no change treat)

31
Q

What is unique about non-sem germ cell tumor mets?

A

Met can be different cell type than the 1ary tumor

32
Q

Name the 4 non-sem germ cell tumors

A
Teratoma
Embryonal carcinoma
Yolk sac
Choricarcinoma 
*Since most tumors are mixed, think about these types together in 1 tumor*
33
Q

What is a teratoma? Pt age

A

From multiple (all 3) germ layers (neuro, ecto, endoderm)
Tissue can be either embryonal (immature) or fetal/adult (mature)
Kids - benign
Post-puberty men - MALIGNANT (vs adult women = benign) TESTQ

34
Q

What is an embryonal carcinoma? Stain used?

A

Embryonal tissue aka very dysmorphic
Cells form epithelial structures - tubules or sheets of cells
Stain w/ cytokeratin

35
Q

What is a yolk sac tumor? Pt age? Marker

A

Endoderm - homog yellow/white timor
INFANTS - 3 YO
Elevated AFP

36
Q

TESTQ: the presentation is a testicular mass with elevated AFP. How does the ddx change if pt is 0-3 yo vs 20 yo?

A
0-3 = pure yolk sac tumor
20 = mixed tumor w/ yolk sac component
37
Q

Yolk sac histo

A

Schiller Duval bodies = papillae w/ central vascular core (looks like flower)
Eosinophilic globules = pink dot

38
Q

What is a choriocarcinoma? What is the serum/tissue marker?

A

V MALIGNANT - 1ary tumor is small, more likely to find the met first
Cyto + syncytio-trophoblast
High bHCG

39
Q

If you get a testicular mass with +bHCG, what should you be thinking?

A

Chorio

OR mixed w/ chorio component

40
Q

What are intratubular germ cell neoplasia?

A

Look for atypical cells in base of steroli tubules
Precursor of germ cell tumors
Look like seminoma, but are in the normal location for sertoli cells aka base of tubule

41
Q

Common mets for germ cell tumors + exception

A

Met to LN - retroperitoneal, aortic, mediastinal, supraclav
Via blood to organs
Exception = chorio, earlier mets than all others!!

42
Q

Stage 1 vs 2 vs 3 testicular tumors

A
1 = in testis
2 = mets  below diaphragm
3 = mets above
43
Q

Treat germ cell tumors

A

Remove tesicle
Adj - chemo/rad
No adj for spermatocytic seminoma or teratomas in kids

44
Q

Compare seminoma vs non-sem

  1. Local vs met
  2. Stage at presentation
  3. Route of mets
  4. Treament
A
Seminoma = localized for long time, present st 1, met to local LN, v radiosens w/ good cure rate
Non-sem = met early via blood, therefore st 2/3 at presentation, need aggressive chemo, good remission rates
