male pathology Flashcards
hypospadias
ventral/inferior opening of urethra
common
associated with constriction UTIs
epispadias
dorsal/superior opening of urethra
less common
almost always associated with extrophy of bladder
associated with constriction UTIs
phimosis
excessive retraction of foreskin
congenital or acquires s/d recurrent infection in uncircumcised adults
may lead to paraphimosis (strangulation of venous flow)
vesicoureteral reflux
short intramural ureter gives poor flap-valve fnx -> reflux of urine into bladder
recurrent UTIs
extrophy of bladder
failure of cloacal membrane development occurs at same time as lower abdominal wall formation so bladder at surface
associated with epispadias of penis
surgical repair
testicular descent
- testes appear on urogenital ridge in month 2
- coelomic cavity envaginates into scrotal swelling forming processes vaginalis in month 3
- testes begin descent into scrotum guided by gubernaculum in month 7
- processes vaginalis obliterates after birth
communicating hydrocele
patent inguinal canal allows for peritoneal fluid to drain into scrotum more common on R
non-communicating hydrocele
usually older children and adults
may be idiopathic or secondary to epididymitis, orchitis, testicular torsion, trauma, or tumor
varicocele
dilated and tortuous vv of papiniform plexus more common on L
only 10-15% of fertility issues
spermatocele
aka epididymal cyst
Tumor on PE
Firm
does not transilluminates
does not increase with valsalva maneuver
varicocele on PE
bag of worms
does not transilluminate
does increase with valsalva maneuver
noncommunicating hydrocele
fluid filled
does transilluminate
does not increase with valsalva maneuver
communicating hydrocele
fluid filled
does transilluminate
does increase with valsalva maneuver
spermatocele
small soft and localized cyst
does transilluminate
does not increase with valsalva maneuver
balanoposthitis
inflammation of foreskin and glands d/t poor hygiene
caused by multiple organisms
smegma
may cause phimosis
circinate balanitis
assocaited with Chlamydia, reactive arthritis (Reiter syndrome)
painless ulcers resolve in months
LS&A
same as in women
autoimmune
can cause painful erections and narrowing of urethra
condyloma accuminata
HPV
CIS
bowen disease, bowenoid papulosis, erythroplasia of querat
bowen disease
red or gray plaque on shaft
erythroplaisa of querat
shiny soft red plauqes on glans and foreskin
bowenoid papulosis
multiple reddish-tan papules in young adults
DO NOT invade
high risk HPV
incorporate into host DNA where viral E6 gene oncoprotein inactivated host p53 gene and E7 inactivated pRB
