M2 Repro Physio and Path Flashcards
CYP11A
P450 side chain cleavage for de novo steroidogenesis
CYP17
P450 hydroxylase and carboxylase for androgenesis
CYP19
P450 aromatase for estrogenesis
papillary carcinoma of thyroid
RET, BRAF
Most common, best prognosis
psammoma bodies
Orphan Annie eyes
follicular carcinoma of thyroid
RAS
Invade thyroid capsule and vasculature to spread hematogenously (usually to lung and bone)
Good prognosis
medullary carinoma of thyroid
parafollicular cells produce calcitonin leading to sheets of cells in amyloid stroma
associated with MEN 2A and 2B (RET mutation)
apple green befringence with congo red stain
anaplastic carcinoma of thyroid
most common in older patients
invades local structures to cause dysphagia, difficulty breathing
poor prognosis
MEN 1
Pituitary tumor
Pancreatic endocrine tumors
Parathyroid adenoma
MEN 2A
Parathyroid hyperplasia
Medullary thyroid carcinoma
Pheo
MEN 2B
Medullary thyroid carcinoma
Pheo
