Oncology Flashcards
pathology associated with ovarian cancer and endometriosis
Hobnail cells characterist clear cell ovarian cancer (adenocarcinoma associated with endometriosis)
Hobnail cell “bulbous nuclei that protrude far into the cystic lumen, beyond the apparent cytoplasmic limits of the cell”
pathology grandulosa cell tumors
Call-Exner bodies, rosette arragnement of cell around an eosinophilic fluid space.
low grade malg, typically demonstrate indolent growth, unilateral 90%, likely found stage 1
pathology papillary serous tumors
psammoma bodies, extracellular round laminar dark eosinophilic collections of calcium
Leydig call tumors
crystals found, as cytoplasmic inclusionss
post menopauseal women
Yolk sac tumors
10-20% of all malignant ovarian germ cell tumors
dealist form
Schiller duval bodies as pathonomoic
Risk of endometrial cancer at time of hysterectomy with diagnosis of EIN.
- endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia
- 40%
- EIN is precursor into adenocarcinoma of the endometrium (increased estrogen)
- ideally diagnose EIN with hysteroscopy.
- HYST is diagnosis and treatment
EIN details
1) benign (benign endometrial hyperplasia),
2) **premalignant (endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia)
3) malignant (endometrial adenocarcinoma, endometrioid type, well differentiated)
EIN definition chart
pathology of choriocarcinoma
- plexiform patterns composed of an admixture of syncytiotrophoblast and cytotrophobloasts
patholgoy of immature teratomas
immature neural tissue with rosettes and tubules
pathology dysgerminomas
- germ cell tumor variant
- cytoplasmic glycogen demostrated wtih periodic acid-schiff stain is pathognomonic
complete molar pregnancy
- bilateral ovarian cysts (thecal lutein cysts)
- high bHGC
- HTN, PreE, hyperemesis, post molar gestational trophoblastic neoplasia
- p57 NEGATIVE (partial is positive)
- villous edema
- no fetal tissue
- diploid paternal origin
- uterus large for dates
- snow storm/swiss cheese appearance, “diffuse hydropic villi”
risk breast cancer with atypical ductal hyperplasia
5%
- pathologic finding of breast biopsies
- means substantial increased risk for breast cancer both ipsi and contralateral
Risk ovarian cancer with BRCA 1/2
BRCA 1 - 40%
BRCA 2 - 15%
most likely malignant component that could be present in mature dermoid (teratoma) cyst
- squamous cell carcinoma (skin)
partial molar pregnancy
- fetal parts
- focal cystic changes of the placenta
ratio fo transverse to anteroposterior dimension of gestational sac >1.5 (larger)
prognostic factor of invasive vulvar cancer
- lymph node mets
- squamous cell carcinoma
- vulvar lump on presentation and hx puritis
- dx via biopsy of dermis and connective tissue so you can evaluate depth of invasion
- spread via direct extension and hematogenous spread
vaginal cancer
- upper 2/3 of vagina
- lower 1/3
- lymph node spread
- upper 2/3 pelvic nodes
- lower 1/3 deep inguinal nodes
inflammatory breast cancer
- rare
- rapid onset of sx
- lymphatic involvement
- HPI: breast pain or rapidly growing
- erythema, edema, peau d’orange
- duration no more than 6 months
- occupies at least 1/3 of breast
- biopsy for dx
ovarian cancer
- transcoelomic spread
- clockwise spread through perintoneal fluid
- in addition to lympatic/hematogenous
- 1.5% overall lifetime risk
heredity breast and ovarian cancer is also assoicated with
- pancreatic, prostate, melaoma
lynch syndrome cancer types
- ovarian, endo, colon (gastric ureteral, pancreatic, glioblastoma, renal pelvis)
Li-Fraumeni cancer associated
- breast cancer
- colon cancer
- (other cancers: sarcomas, brain, adrenocortical
Cowden syndrome cancers associated
- breast, endo, colon (benign mucocutanesous lesions, thyoids, gastrointestinal harmartomes)
Peutaz-Jeghers associated tumors
- breast, ovarian, colon (cervical adenoma maligum, gastroinstentinal hamartomas, pancreatic, gastric, small bowel
Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer associated with
- breast cancer, gastric, colorectal
