mc location of prostatic carcinomas

A

peripheral zone

29
Q

  1. marked hyalinization and thickening of the basement membrane of the spermatic tubules
  2. Prominent Leydig cells
  3. increase in interstitial stroma
A

Cryptorchidism

30
Q

A

N. gonorrhoeae or C. trachomatis

31
Q

Germ cell tumor

3rd decade

cKIT positive

What’s the gross appearance of this tumor?

A

homogenous gray white lobulated cut surface, bulky

32
Q

A

Adenocarcinoma prostate

33
Q

A

TB

34
Q

Testicular mass - small palpable nodule, hemorrhage, necrosis

Germ cell tumor

1. Tumor marker ?

2. 2 types of cells seen on microscopy in this tumor

A
  1. Human chorionic gonadotropin
  2. syncytiotrophoblastic cells

cytotrophoblastic cells

35
Q

Nodular prostatic hyperplasia/ Prostatic carcinoma

  1. Proliferation of glands and fibromuscular stroma
  2. aggregations of small to large to cystically dilated glands lined by two layers of cells, an inner columnar layer and an outer layer of cuboidal or flattened epithelium
  3. papillary infolding
  4. corpora amylacea

Nodular prostatic hyperplasia

36
Q

Most important risk factor for testicular tumors

A

Cryptorchidism

37
Q

Cause for acute epididymitis in age >35

A

E. coli or Pseudomonas.

38
Q

1. DIagnosis?

Sudden onset of testicular pain, no istory of antecedent trauma, young male

  1. What’s the mechanism for this condition?
A

1. Torsion

  1. Twisting of the spermatic cord—-> impaired venous drainage with patent arteries—–> hemorrhagic infarction.

This twist occurssecondary to a bilateral anatomic defect where the testis has increased mobility
