Male Genital And LUTS Flashcards
Abnormal opening of urethra on ventral aspect of penis along shaft
Hypospadia
Sometimes constricted -> UTI
Assoc with hernia and undescended testis sometimes
Abnormal urethral orifice on dorsal aspect of penis
Epispadia
Inflammation of glans penis
Balanitis
Inflammation of prepuce
Balanopthitis
Agents causing balanopthitis and balanitis
Candida
Anaerobic: Gardnerella, pyogenic bateria
Rf for balanitis/balanopthitis
Poor hygiene
Uncircumcision
Smegma accumulation
Prepuce cannot be retracted easily over glans penis
Congenital anomaly or scarring
Phimosis
Pelves, ureter, bladder and urethra lining
urothelium
Lamina propria Muscularis propria (detrussor muscle)
Most common Congenital disorder resulting in hydronephrosis
Ureteropelvicjunction obstruction
Uncommon cause of ureteral narrowing or obstruction by fibrous proliferative inflammatory processes encasing retroperitoneal structures causing hydronephrosis
Retroperitoneal fibrosis
Primary malignant tumors of ureter, renal pelvis, calyx, bladder are mostly
urothelial
Elevations associated with fibroinflammatory lesions
IgG4
Other rf of retroperitoneal fibrosis:
Ergot derivative
Adrenergic blocker
Lymphoma, urinary tract carcinoma
Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis
Ormond disease
Arise from persistent urethral obstruction (bph) resulting in pouchlike evagination of bladder wall
Diverticulum
Common agents causing bacterial cystitis
Coliform bacteria
Hemorrhagic cystitis arise from (2)
cyclophosphamide (cytotoxic) use
adenovirus
Chronic pelvic pain syndrome
Persistent painful occuring in women
Intermittent, suprapubic pain, urinary freq, urgency, hematuria, dysuria,
fissures and punctate hemorrhage (glomerulation) in bladder
Interstitial cystitis
Later may develop into transmural fibrosis
Phagocytic and degradative function of macrophage overloaded with bacterial product
Laminated calcium deposition in lysosomes known as
Malakoplakia
Michaelis-Gutmann bodies within mac
Inflammation from irritation to mucosa where urothelium is thrown to bulbous polypoid projections from submucosal edema
May be confused with papillary urothelial ca
Polypoid cystitis
Metaplastic downward growth of urothelium into lamina propria with central epithelial cells diff into cuboidal or columnar lining cystitis glandularis
Brunn Nests
cystic spaces may be filled with clear fluid (cystitis cystica); goblet cells like intestinal mucosa (colonic metaplasia)
In response to injury bladder urothelium results to
squamous metaplasia (differentiate from glycogenated squamous epithelium)
More common in countries where schistosomiasis is endemic
3-7% SCC of bladder
extensive keratinization
chronic bladder irritation; infection
Urothelial ca rf (3)
smoking
occupational carcinogen
Schistosoma haematobium
Bladder carcinogenesis is initiated by
deletion of tumor-supressor gene on 9p and 9q leading to superficial papillary tumor
acquiring TP53 mutation
Genetic alterations in bladder ca:
FGFR3 mutation activating Ras oncogene
Loss of function mutation TP53 and RB
2 precursor lesions of bladder ca
Noninvasive papillary tumor (most c)
carcinoma-in-situ
Noninvasive papillary urothelial neoplasm range of atypia and grade:
1 papilloma
2 papillary urothelial neoplasm of low malig potential (PUNLMP)
3 low grade papillary urothelial carcinoma
4 high grade papillary urothelial carcinoma
Benign
Not associated with inc risk for subsequent carcinoma
Inverted urothelial papilloma
Cytologically malignant cells with flat urothelium
Behaves like high grade papillary urothelial ca
Sheds malignant cells into urine
CIS
Detected by cytology
50-70% of CIS cases progress to
Muscle invasive cancer
CIS or highgrade papillary invading lamina propria extending to muscle
Invasive urothelial cancer
Most important prognostic factor in urothelial carcinoma
Extent of invasion and spread (staging) at time of initial diagnosis
Most common presentation of bladder CA
painless hematuria
Recurrece is high in urothelial ca bec
Of tendency to develop new tumors whatever grade with recurrence exhibiting higher grade at different sites from original lesion
Shedding and implantation of original tumor cells at new sites
Risk factor for tumor recurrence
Tumor size Stage Grade Multifocality Mitotic index Dysplasia/cis surrounding mucosa
Small localized papillary tumors not high grade tx
transurethral resection
Tumors at high risk for recurrence and progression tx
Immunotherapy of intravesicular installation of TB strain BCG Bacille Calmette-Guerin
BCG may be effective in high risk bladder CA bec
BCG elicits granulomatous reaction triggering effective local antitumor response
HGUC
recurrence:
coexistent invasion:
45%
80%
Radical cystectomy is reserved for (3)
1 muscularis propria invasion
2 CIS/Highgrade papillary CA refractory to BCG
3 CIS extending to prostatic urethra and duct not reached by BCG
Chronic venereal infection by spirochete T pallidum
Syphilis
Lues
Great Pox
African America 30x > Whites
Syphilis is transmitted via
and disseminates through
contact with cutaneous or mucosal lesion in sexual partner in early or primary and secondary stages in skin break
Vertical (placental)
Lymphatics and blood widespread
Primary syphilitic lesion appearing a mean 21 days postinfection or anytime bet 9-90 days at point of entry
Indurated hard with clean moist base
Chancre
Resolves over 4-6weeks
Systemic dissemination of treponema continues mounting immune response in the form of 2 antibodies:
1 nontreponemal (antibodies cross-reacting with host constituents) 2 antibodies to specific treponemal antigen
Both failing to eradicate organism
In 25% of untreated syphilis, chancre is followed by
Secondary syphilis
Generalized LN, mucocutaneous lesions
Mucocutaneous lesions of primary and secondary syphilis are
teeming with spirochetes and are highly infectious
Resolve spontaneously
Early latent phase syphilis
