Lets Cancer The Fuck Out Of Female Flashcards
Hamartoma of 3 tissues
- vessels, cardiac and adipose tissue
- increased frequency of tubular sclerosis
Angiomyolipoma
- malignant of tubules epithelium
- triad : hematuria, palpable mass and flank pain
- yelllow mass - clear cytoplasm ( clear cell type)
H
Renal cell carcinoma
Loss of VHL tumour suppressor gene ->
Heredetory -> multiple bilateral
Sporadic -> smoking, single upper pole tumour
Von hipple disease - inactivation of VHL dominant and increased hemangioblastoma
Renal cell carcinoma
Most common renal neoplasm in children
Malignant blastema (immature kidney mesenchyme)
WT1 mutation-> large unilateral mass (wagr syndrome)
Wilms tumour
Most common type of bladder cancer
- malignant of urothelial lining of pelvis ureter, bladder, urethra
- painless hematouria in a smoking adult
Urothelial cancer
This cancer happens in 2 pathways
Flat- starts as high grade and invasive due. To P53 mutation
Papillary- vessel core, starts as low grade -> high -> invasive
-multifocal and recurs - field defect
Urothelial carcinoma
- Happens in the bladder after squamous metaplasia
- SCHISTOSOMA HEMATOBIUM -> middle eastren make
- chronic cystitis
- chronic nephrolithisis
Squamous cell carcinoma
Happens usually in the bladder
- Arises from URACHAL REMEMANT
- CYSTITIS GLANDULARIS, exatrophy: the urothelium doesn’t have glands so this is the only case
Adenocarcinoma
Where do testicular tumors arise from
Germ cells and sex cord stroma
There is no epithelial tumours
Can testicular tumours be transluminated
No they can’t, presents as firm and painless masses
Why do we not biopsy testicular tumours
To avoid the risk of seeding the scrotum with cancer cells
How are testicular tumour removed
Radial orchiectomy
What is the most common type of testicular tumour
Germ cell type 95%
Are there benign germ cell testicular tumours
No they are all malignant
Risk factors of germ cell testicular tumours
Cryptochidsm and klinefilter syndrome
