Q

What causes/ what is Bowen Disease?

A

This is a squamos cell carcinoma of the penile shaft or scrotum that presents as leukoplakia due to HPV 16

34
Q

What do we see under histology for Bowen Disease?

A

Proliferation of Epidermis with mitoses, and some dysplasia with hyperchromatic nuclei.

An intact BM allows for a sharp dermal-epidermal border

35
Q

What are the three carcinomas (in situ) of the penis, and which one (ones) progresses to an invasive carcinoma?

A
  • Bowen disease
  • Erythroplasia of Queyrat

Both of those can progress to invasive carcinoma, but the third, Bowenoid papulosis, does not progress to invasive carcinoma

36
Q

What is Erythroplasia of Queyrat and how does it present?

A

Like Bowen disease, it is a squamos cell carcinoma, however, this one presents as an erythroplakia

37
Q

What is Bowenoid papulosis?

A

The final squamos cell carcinoma of the penis, this presents with multiple redish purple papules in folks less than 40.

38
Q

What predisposes someone to a malignant squamos cell carcinoma of the penis?

A
  • HPV types 16, 18

- Not being circumcised (foreskin + poor hygiene = inflammation and irritation)

39
Q

What are the two types of malignant squamos cell carcinoma of the penis?

A
  • Papillary -Simulate condylomata Acuminata; cauliflower-like fungating mass
  • Flat - Epithelial thickening with graying and fissuring of the mucosal surface
40
Q

What is and what leads to cryptorchidism?

A

This is failure of the testicle to descend into the scrotal sac due to a problem with phase 2 of descent (inguinoscrotal to transabdominal phase).

This occurs in 1% of male infants

41
Q

What are the complications of cryptorchidism and what can we do to fix it?

A

Complications include testicular atrophy, infertility, seminoma, inguinal hernia

Most resolve spontaneously, an orchipexy can be done before the age of 2 years

42
Q

Regressive atrophy of the testis and epididymis can occur in the setting of a wide array of conditions from irradiation to hypopituitarism. But what morphology does this degeneration take on?

A

Hyalinization and thickening of the BM of spermatic tubules.

LEYDIG CELLS ARE SPARED

43
Q

What is orchitis and what physical exam test can help us distinguish it from an inflammed epididymis?

A

Orchitis is inflammation of the testicles. Like epididymis swelling it can be asymptomatic or have scrotal pain, but unlike epididymis, which has an intact cremasteric reflex, orchitis loses the cremasteric muscle contraction when you rub the inner thigh

44
Q

What are the causes of orchitis (8 causes)?

A
  • Chlamydia trachomatis (serotypes D-K)
  • N. gonorrhea - Occurs in young adults - Labido is unaffected due to Leydig cells being spared but can cause infertility
  • E. Coli and Pseudomonas - Common in older adults and UTIs
  • Mumps virus - Teenagers with parotid swelling, causing infertility
  • TB, which will hit the epididymis and testis
  • Syphilis - Just hits the testis, leading to diffuse inflammation with edema, lymphocytes and plasma cells
  • Granulomatous from autoimmune
45
Q

What causes testicular torsion and how does it present?

A

Congenital failure of the testes to attach to the inner lining of the scrotum (via the processus vaginalis). Can also be due to infections and trauma.

Patients will have very sudden pain and a loss of their cremasteric reflex.

46
Q

Does testicular torsion involve a venous or arterial circulation cut off?

A

Cutoff venous drainage with twisting of the spermatic cord. In 6 hours you’ll have necrosis.

47
Q

What is a Varicocele? How does it present?

A

Dilation of the spermatic cord with a venous drainage cutoff, leading to a urologic emergency.

It presents as scrotal swelling with a “bag of worms” appearence

48
Q

What side is the varicocele usually on?

A

Usually left sided; L testicular vein drains –> left renal vein, while the R testicular vein goes straight to the IVC. The extra path predisposes this side to backup.

49
Q

What is a hydrocele and how does it come about? What do we see on exam?

A

Fluid collection in tunica vaginalis

Caused by incomplete closure of the processus vaginalis, stopping communication w/peritoneal cavity (infants) or blockage of lymph drainage (adults)

Sx: scrotal swelling that can be transilluminated

50
Q

What is the most common spermatic cord tumor? Who is at rick for it?

  • Klinefelter syndrome
  • white >black (5:1)
  • Testicular dysgenesis syndrome

Q

Discuss the histology of a seminoma vs a nonseminoma

Tx: highly responsive to radiotherapy

Prognosis: excellent, metastasize late

55
Q

Q

What is an embryonal carcinoma and what is its morphology?

A

malignant tumor of immature, primitive cells

May produce glands; forms a hemorrhagic mass w/ necrosis

Aggressive w/ early hematogenous spread

57
Q

Why is treatment for embryonal carcinoma dangerous?

A

Chemotherapy may cause differentiation into another type of germ cell tumor (e.g., teratoma)

58
Q

What mutation is associated with embryonal carcinoma?

A
  • OCT 3/4
  • PLAP
  • cytokeratin
  • CD30 (C-KIT neg)
59
Q

What labs do we associate with embryonal carcinoma?

A

Remember this guy is from primitive undifferentiated cells, so it can release AFP or B-HCG

60
Q

What is the most common child testicular tumor and what presentation does it give clinically and histologically?

A

malignant tumor of syncytiotrophoblasts (produce β-hCG) and cytotrophoblasts (placenta-like tissue, but villi are absent)

Spreads early via blood

Patho: inc β-hCG =
hyperthyroidism or gynecomastia (a-subunit of hCG is similar to that of FSH, LH, and TSH)

Q

Presentation of choriocarcinoma

A

We won’t see any testicular enlargement, but there will be a small palpable nodule less than 5cm

A

Teratoma

mature fetal tissue derived from 2+ embryonic layers.
