male reproductive Flashcards
hypospadias
urethra opens on inferior surface of penis, due to urethral folds failing to close
epispadias
open of urethra on superior surface; due to abnormal position of genital tubercle; assoc with bladder exstrophy
condyloma acuminatum
benign wart; from HPV 6 or 11; koilocytic change
lympogranuloma vereum
necrotizing granulomatous inflammation of inguinal lymphatics and nodes
lymphogranuloma venereum cause
chlamydia trach. serotypes L1-3
lymphogranuloma vereum leads to
fibrosis and perianal itching causing rectral strictures
squamous cell carcinoma of penis
malignant proliferation of squamous cells on penis
SCC of penis risk fasctors
HPV, lack of circumcision
precursor lesions of SCC for penis
bowen disease (shaft, leukoplakia type lesion), erythroplasia of queyrat (glans, erythroplakia look), bowenoid papulosis (reddish papules, usually does not invade)
cryptorchidism
failure of testicles to descent to scrotal sac; most common congenital male repro abnorm; most cases resolve spontaneously
orchitis
testicle inflammation
orchitis causes
C. Trach (D-K), neisseria gonorrhoeae, E. coli, Pseudomonas, mumps virus, autoimmune orchitis
testicular torsion
twisitng of spermatic cord; leads to hemorrhagic infarction
congenital cause of testicular torsion
failure of testes to attach to inner lining of scrotum
presenation of testicular torsion
sudden testicular pain, absent cremasteric reflex; usually in adolescents
Varicocele
dilation of spermatic verin due to impaired drainage
varicocele presetation
scrotal swelling with “bag of worms” appearance; usually leftsided and can be associated with L-renal cell carcinoma; seen in a large percentage of infertile males
hydrocele
fluid collection in tunica vaginalis; assoc with incomplete closure of processus vaginalis (infants) or blockage of lymphatic drainage (adults)
hydrocele presentation
scrotal swelling that can be transluminated
testicular tumors
firm, painless mass that cannot be transilluminated
testicular tumors are not
Bx they are just removed
