male pathology Flashcards
Acute bacterial prostatitis etiology
Same as UTI
Acute bacterial prostatitis pathogenesis
Organisms ascend from urethra and urinary bladder Rarely, hematogenous spread
Acute bacterial prostatitis morphology
Acute inflammation in the glands with micro abscess, congestion & edema
Micro abscess are aggregation of ____ in the glands
Neutrophils
Acute bacterial prostatitis clinical course
Dysuria, frequency, low back pain & pelvic pain.
The prostate is enlarged and exquisitely tender.
+/- fever, chills, or Leukocytosis.
Prostate size in Abp
Enlarged
Which is more common bacterial or abacterial chronic prostatitis
Abacterial
Bacterial chronic prostativies etiology
Same as acute
Abacterial chronic prostatitis etiology
Chlamydia, trichomonas & ureaplasma urealyticum
Chronic prostatitis morphology
Lymphocytic infiltrate, PMN & macrophages, Some evidence of tissue destruction
Where does nodular hyperplasia occur
Transitional &periurethral zones
Most common age for bah
Over 70
What’s the main hormone in Bph
Dihydrotestosterone
Estrogen role in nodular hyperplasia
Increase in older men cause an increase in DHT receptors
BPH clinical course
Only in 10%, hesitancy, urinary retention & elevated PSA
BPH treatment
5 alpha- reductase type 2 inhibitors
: Transurethral resection of prostate tissue to relieve the obstruction
Enzyme that convert testosterone to dihydrotestosterone
5 alpha reduces type 2
Is BPH premalignant
BPH is not a premalignant condition and is not precursor of carcinoma
___% of BPH cases contain incidental carcinoma
10%
PSA > 4ng/ml
Carcinoma, BPH, Prostatitis, After biopsy
PSA can be used for:
Monitoring success of Prostatectomy
Detecting early relapses & DDx of other malignancies
Most common visceral CA in Male
Carcinoma of the prostate
2nd most common cause of CA death in men.
Carcinoma of the prostate, 20%
Peak incidence of clinical prostate CA
65-75 years
10% at 50 y & 80% at 80 y
in which race is prostatic carcinoma more common
black
prostatic carcinoma clinical features
Often clinically silent, (start at the peripheral zone)
Urinary obstructive symptoms → extensive prostate CA
75% of prostatic cancer patients present in what stage
C&d
Diagnosis of prostatic cancer
Routine surveillance in men over 40 yr
Incidental finding in Transurethral Resection of the Prostate TURP
Adenocarcinoma with unknown primary
rarely , rectal or perirectal mass.
Metastases in prostatic carcinoma
osteoblastic bone lesions.
Prostatic cancer clinical course
Digital rectal exam (DRE), PSA: > 4 ng/ml in peripheral blood (Free PSA < 25%)
Transrectal ultrasound, Needle biopsy (hard mass on the peripheral zone).
Metastases
free PSA in prostatic cancer
<25%
Prostate carcinoma pathology
Yellow-white hard multifocal foci with predilection for peripheral zones
Haphazard small irregularly shaped invasive glands with abortive lumens.
Glands lack basal cell layer & Cells contain prominent nucleoli
Perineural invasion.
Prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia
precursor lesion for prostatic adenoCA & no invasive component, but the glands have malignant cells
At which stage needle biopsy start
3
What’s well differentiated score in Gleason scoring
2
What’s well differentiated score in Gleason scoring during needle biopsy
6
Abnormal location of the urethral orifice
Hypospadias & epispadias
Hypospadias
Ventral aspect, common, associated with genital abnormalities
Epispadias
Dorsal & rare
Abnormal location of the urethral orifice clinical consequences
Constriction of orifice, UT obstruction, UTI
impaired reproductive function
Sexually transmitted inflammatory lesions most commonly caused by
HPV
Banalities etiology
Poor local hygiene in uncircumcised men
Define banalities
Inflammation of the glans with prepuce
Smegma
Accumulation of desquamared epithelial cells, sweat & dermis
Banalities clinically
Distal penis is red, swollen, tender, +/- purulent discharge
Define phimosis
Prepuce can’t easily be retracted over glans
