Lower UT/Male Flashcards
most common cause of hydronephrosis in infants and children as a ,major contributor to renal infection and scarring
ureteropelvic junction obstruction
frequently involves the upper ureter but can occur anywhere along the urothelium
benign fibroepithelial polyp
most common primary malignant tumor of the ureter
urothelial carcinoma
4 typical places of origin for urothelial carcinoma
renal pelvis, calyces, bladder, urethra
anterior wall of the abdomen and bladder fail to develop, causing communication directly with abdominal surface
exstrophy of the bladder
there is increased risk of this in the bladder remnant of exstrophic bladder
adenocarcinoma
urinary stasis and predisposition to infection and the formation of bladder calculi due to this
diverticula
a chronic inflammatory reaction in the bladder due to acquired defects in phagocyte function
malakoplakia
these two bacteria usually cause malakoplakia
e. coli and proteus
common in renal transplants and immunocompromised
malakoplakia
laminated mineralized concretions resulting from deposition of calcium in enlarged lysosomes
Michaelis-Gutmann bodies
inflammatory lesion due to irritation of bladder mucosa usually due to instrumentation
polypoid cystitis
cystitis of unknown etiology with intermittent, often severe, suprapubic pain, frequency, urgency, hematuria, dyuria
interstitial cystitis
mucosal fissures and punctate hemorrhages seen in this disorder
interstitial cystitis
urothelium become broad bulbous polypoid projections due to marked submucosal edema
polypoid cystitis
von Brunn nests grow down into the lamina propria causing cells to become cuboidal or columnar
cystitis glandularis
von Brunn nests grow down into the lamina propria causing cells to retract to produce cystic spaces lined by flattened urothelium
cystitis cystica
precursor to dysplastic lesions and in situ and invasive SCC
multifocal keratinizing squamous metaplasia
this parasitic infection is most associated with renal and urologic disease causing squamous metaplasia
schistosomiasis
implantation and growth of renal tubular cells at sites of bladder mucosa erosion that is common in renal transplant recipients
nephrogenic adenoma
95% of bladder malignancies are
epithelial
small papillary epithelial lesion indicative of this
nephrogenic adenoma
mutations in these genes can cause urothelial carcinoma in situ
TP53, RB
mutations in these genes can papillary urothelial neoplasms
RAS, FGFR3
