Well PTHrP, although true, paraneoplasic PTHrP and HyperCa++ more common in SCC.
paraneoplastic syndrome- hypoglycaemia- hypercalcaemia- hyperparathyroidism- SIADH- limbic encephalitis

All correct
What is associated?

Cardiac neoplasms are associated with:
- Valvular problems
- Emboli
- Pericardial effusion
- Valvular problems
- Emboli
both true
H. Pylori is associated with?
- Gastric cancer
- Mantle cell lymphoma marginal zone (MALToma)
- Decrease vitamin B12
- Hyperplastic polyp
- Duodenal villous atrophy
- Gastric cancer
**LJS - ass/w intestinal metaplasia which increases risk for adenocarcinoma
Also induces mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, which has the potential to transform into MALToma (Robbins)
Carcinoid acts most aggressive where:
- Oesophagus
- Appendix
- Stomach
- Colon
- Terminal ileum
- Terminal ileum
Small bowel most aggressive. Foregut and hindgut (+appendix incidental/least aggressive)
Cholangiocarcinoma risk factors:
- Hepatitis B Chronic
- Male or female (?)
- Hepatic fibrosis
- Primary biliary cirrhosis
- Hepatitis B Chronic
**LJS - and hepatic fibrosis - fibropolycystic liver disease spectrum, incl Caroli, biliary hamartomas, congenital hepatic fibrosis etc)
Risk for cholangiocarcinoma:
- primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC)
- recurrent pyogenic cholangitis (hepatolithiasis)
- choledocholithiasis more than cholelithiasis 10,11
- Clonorchis sinensis
- Caroli disease / choledochal cystslifetime risk of 10-15% 2toxins
- thorotrast
- dioxin- polyvinyl chloride
- heavy alcohol use
viral infection(s)- HIV- hepatitis B- hepatitis C- EBV
Polyarthralgia and skin fat necrosis caused by:
- Gastrinoma
- Somatostatinoma
- Islet cell tumour
- Ductal Adenocarcinoma
- Glucagonoma
- Ductal Adenocarcinoma – lipase secretion syndrome
Polyarthralgia and skin fat necrosis caused by:
- Gastrinoma ZE
- Somatostatinoma DM, diarrhoea, cholelithiasis
- Islet cell tumour
- Ductal Adenocarcinoma – lipase secretion syndrome
- Glucagonoma – 4D’s: dermatitis, DM, DVT, depression
Adrenal Corticocarcinoma:
- 11-hydroxylase
- 17-hydroxylase
- Can resemble adrenal hyperplasia
- Can resemble adrenal hyperplasia I guess?
**LJS - I’m not sure what this question is asking. But I don’t think CAH (normal adrenals, or bilateral increased thickness with normal shape) resembles adrenal cortical carcinoma (often large at dx, heterogenous, necrosis, haemorrhage, vascular invasion).
60% adrenal cortical carcinomas are functional. 11 beta-hydroxylase and 17 alpha hydroxylase are both enzymes in the adrenocortical hormone synthesis pathway
Anal carcinoma staging with ipsilateral iliac or inguinal lymph nodes:
A. 1
B. 2
C. 3A
D. 3B
T?N1Has to be stage 3- but definitely not stage 3b (T4N0 - i.e no nodes)
3a - T12N1
3b - T4n0
3c - T34 N1
**LJS - of answers given, can only be 3A (3B is T4, N0, M0)
Stage 0 - carcinoma in situ, no nodes or mets
Stage 1 - Tumour < 2cm (T1), no LN or mets
Stage 2 - T2 or T3, no LN or mets
Stage 3A - T1 or T2, N1, no mets
Stage 3B - T4 (into adjacent organs), no LN or mets
Stage 3C - T3 or T4, N1, no mets
Stage 4 - Mets
Splenectomy causes what bacterial susceptibility:
- H. Influenza
- Tuberculosis
- Mycosis fungoides
- H. Influenza
Which affects both the liver and the skin:
- Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency
- Wilson’s disease
*LW:
Both technically true per UpToDate:
- Aplha 1 skin manifestations include: necrotising panniculitis, systemic vasculitis, psoriasis, and angio oedema.
- Wilsons skin manifestations include: blue lunulae (lunulae ceruleae), acanthosis nigricans, and pretibial hyperpigmentation. (Dermatologic manifestations may also occur from treatment with penicillamine)
Previous answer:
2. Wilson’s disease
Which of these is not associated?
A. VIPoma with diarrhoea and raised K+
A. VIPoma with diarrhoea and raised K+ - hypokalaemia
insulinoma - low glucose
somatostinoma - DM, diarrhoea, gallstone
Gastrinoma - ellison zollinger
VIPoma - WHDA - watery diarrhoea, hypokalaemia, achorydia
glucagonoma - DM, DVT, depression, dermatitis,
Causes of fulminant hepatitis:
A. Autoimmune
B. Hepatitis B
C. Carbon tetrachloride
**LJS - Robbins says paracetamol OD most common in USA, and other causes include:
-AI hepatitis
-Other drugs/toxins
-Acute hep A and B - vriral hepatitis accounts for 10% cases of acute hepatic failure
(Hep B and E most common cause in Asia)
So all are true, and according to Robbins Hep B NOT most common (though radiopedia says it’s most common)
*LW:
Just further info, not really helping….
UTD
- Viral and drug-induced hepatitis are the most common causes of acute liver failure in adults.
- Drug-induced liver injury is the most common cause of acute liver failure in Australia, Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States, whereas in Asia and Africa, viral hepatitis predominates
- In the United States, The most common causes of acute liver failure were acetaminophen overdose (46 percent), indeterminate (14 percent), idiosyncratic drug reactions (12 percent), hepatitis B virus (7 percent), and hepatitis A virus (3 percent).
Previous answer:
Hepatitis B - most common
others are true
Also idiopathic, drugs, mushrooms, metabolic disease, HELLP, Bud-chiari, shock, RHF
Acute hepatitis = fulminant hepatitis- acute loss of hepatic function without chronic liver failure
Symptoms- encephalopathy- coagulopathy
Cause- vascular : BC, RHF- infection : hep B (most common)- idiopathic- Toxin: alcohol, paracetamol, muschroom- autoimmune: - metabolic : wilson, pregnancy steatohepatitis,
