Neoplasia, MSK and Cardiovascular Path Flashcards
Burkitt’s vs Hodgkin’s lymphoma
Burkitt: starry-sky appearance, EBV (mosquito), MC in kids
Hodgkin’s: Reed-Sternberg cells (binucleated cells, owl eye appearance), MC in adults
Adrenal medulla tumor secretes excess nor-epinephrine and symptoms?
Pheochromocytoma: paroxysms of palpitations, perspiration, pressure headaches, VMA in urine
Mesenchymal, stromal, epithelial cell tumor of the kidney
Wilm’s - MC in kids
MC 1o bone cancer in adults
Multiple myeloma: malignant plasma cells in marrow, M spike (inc IgG), Bence Jones protein (urine), nocturnal bone pain, recurrent infections
MC 1o bone cancer in children and teens
Osteosarcoma: bones aroundknee joint - lower femur and upper tibia
What malignant bone tumor mimics osteomyelitis?
Ewing’s Sarcoma
MC benign smooth muscle tumor in uterus?
Uterine leiomyome (fibroid)
4 Main Types of Leukemia - differentiate Acute lymphoblastic Acute myelogenous Chronic myelogenous Chronic lymphocytic
Acute lymphoblastic - <5 yrs
Acute myelogenous - 80% in adults, Auer rods+
Chronic myelogenous - 30-60 yrs, philadelphia chromosome (tranlocation Chromosome 9 to 22), anemia, bleeding, infxn
Chronic lymphocytic - >60, men, lymphadenopathy
BCR-abl
on philadelphia chromosome (CML)
N-MYC
neuroblastoma
L-MYC
Lung cancer
P16
Melanoma
These chemical carcinogens cause what? Nitrosamine Asbestos Benzene Aflatoxin
Nitrosamine - esophageal cancer
Asbestos - mesothelioma
Benzene - leukemia
Aflatoxin - hepatocellular carcinoma
Thee radiation carcinogens cause what?
UV light
X-rays
Uranium
UV light - melanoma
X-rays - thyroid cancer
Uranium - lung cancer
These microbial carcinogens cause what? HPV 16/18 HHV 8 EBV Hep B/C
HPV 16/18 - cervical cancer
HHV 8 - Kaposi sarcoma
EBV - Burkitt’s lymphoma
Hep B/C - hepatocellular carcinoma
These tumor markers indicate what? B-HCG CEA AFP PSA CA-125 S-100 Acanthosis nigricans
B-HCG: choriocarcinoma CEA: colon cancer AFP: hepatocellular carcinoma PSA: Prostate cancer CA-125: ovarian cancer S-100: melanoma Acanthosis nigricans: adenocarcinoma, lung, breast, stomach cancer (obesity, diabetes)
MC Cancer prevalence vs death
Prevalence M - prostate, F breast, then lung then colorectal
Deaths: lung then prostate/breast then bowel
Cyanotic vs Acyanotic heart disease
Cyanotic: R-L shunt (Fallot’s tetralogy, Transposition of great vessels, persistent Truncus Arteriosus)
Acyanotic: L-R shund (VSD, ASD, PDA)
Fallot’s tetraology
Pulmonary STENOSIS, rt ventricular hypertrophy, overriding aorta, VD
Failure of ostium secundum to close?
ASD
MC congenital heart disease?
VSD
Rheumatic fever:
Post strep infxn, TIIHS
Aschoff bodies (granulomas w/Anitschkow giantcells), MacCallum patches (L atrium)
Jones major criteria: sydenham’s chorea, polyarthritis, erythema marginatum, carditis, subcutaneous nodules
MC damaged valve is mitral, then aortic rarely pulmonary or tricuspid
Endocarditis
Subacute bacterial:
Acute bacterial:
Libman-Sacks:
Endocarditis - Strep pyogenes/viridans, staph aureus
Subacute bacterial: infxn previous damaged valves (rheumatic fever) fever, new murmur, splinter hemorrhages, Olser’s nodes, Janeway nodules
Acute bacterial: infxn of previously healthy valved - IV drug users
Libman-Sacks: sterile endocarditis of mitral and tricuspid valves in SLE
Thrombus vs Embolism
Thrombus: clot in atheroscleroticvessel w/line of Zahn
Embolism: dislodged mass of undissolved material in vessel travelling in blood (arterial - painful, pale, pulseless, perishingly cold limb)
Arterio vs Atherosclerosis
Arterio: thickening of A w/loss of elasticity and contractility due to infiltration of tunica intima by collagen and smooth muscle fibers
Athero: lipid/calcium deposits in tunica intima, RF’s arterial HTN, tobacco, hereditary, endocrine, sedentary, obese, male, age and S/S subendothelial fatty streaks, fibrosis, atheroma, rupture w/eventual occlusion or embolus formation
Ischemic Heart DIsease vs MI
IHD: coronary atherosclerosis –> Angina, MI, CHF
MI: ischemic necrosi of myocardium due to blocked coronary A (L nt descending) pain not relieved by rest, release of cardiac enzymes (Troponin, CKMB, Lactic Dehydrogenase)
Angina Pectoris vs Prinzmetal
Pectoris: reversible inadequately perfused myocardium and pain aggravated by stress/exertion, relief w/rest
Prinzmetal: occur at rest due to coronary A spasm
Aneuyrsm: Atherosclerotic Dissecting Syphilitic Berry
Aneuyrsm: localized dilation of A
Atherosclerotic - MC AAA
Dissecting - longitudinal intraluminal tearing of ascending T aorta (Marfan’s, Ehlers-Danlos, long HTN)
Syphilitic - 3o syphilis affects arch of aorta
Berry - congenital weaknesses >30 yrs (Adult polycystic disease of the kidney, anterior circle of Willis, subarachnoid hemorrhage in YA, severe thunder clap HA, neck stiff, LoC)
