Pathology of the Lower Urinary Tract and Male Genital System II Flashcards
1
Q
Define
- Hypospadias
- Epispadias
- What can happen if the testes fail to descend?
- What can a urinary tract obstruction cause?
- What can problems with ejaculation and insemination cause?
A
- urethral opening on the ventral surface
- urethral opening on the dorsal surface
- malformation of urinary tract, predisposes to tumors
- ascending urinary tract infections
- sterility
2
Q
Define
- Phimosis
- What can happen as a result?
- Paraphimosis
- What can happen as a result?
A
- prepuce cannot be retracted
- poor hygiene –> infections –> phimosis –> infections –>?carcinoma
- phimotic prepuce is forcibly retracted
- constriction and swelling –> pain –> acute urinary retention
3
Q
Penis Infections: Gonorrhea
- Gonorrhea Sequelae
- Who gets Chlamydia?
- Other name for chlamydia? what does it describe?
- What is Reiter syndrome (3)?
A
- urethritis –> urethral strictures –> sterility and ectopic pregnancies
- M>F
- lymphogranuloma venereum, small epidermal vesicle –> ulcer –> inguinal and rectal lymphadenopathy; trachoma: chronic keratonconjunctivitis
- conjunctivitis, polyarthritis, genital infection
4
Q
Penis Infection: Syphilis
- Primary
- Secondary
- Tertiary
A
- 3 weeks: chancre
- 2-10 weeks: palmar, solar rash, lymphadenopathy, arthritis, headache, fever, condyloma latum
- years: neurosyphilis, aortitis, gummas
5
Q
Penis Infection: Molluscum Contagiosum
- What causes it?
- What does it infect?
- What does it look like?
A
- DNA virus,
- squamous epithelium
- pearly papules w/ central umbilication
6
Q
Penis Tumors:Condyloma Acuminatum
- Etiology
- Gross look
- Micro look
A
- HPV types 6 and 11
- single or multiple sessile or pedunculated, red papillary excrescencies, one-several mm
- papillary proliferation of squamous cells; Koilocytosis- clear vacuolization of the cytoplasm
7
Q
Penis Tumors:Squamous Cell Carcinoma
- Risk Factors
- What lowers risk?
- Etiology?
- Gross look
- Micro look
A
- poor hygiene, phimosis- accumulation of smegma, hx of genital warts
- circumcision
- HPV 16 and 18
- ulcerative, fungating, plaque-like, papillary lesions
- resembling squamous epithelium, intercellular bridges, and keratin pearls
8
Q
Cryptorchidism
- Define
- Causes (2)
- Complications
- Gross look
- Histo look
A
- undescended testis
- trisomy 13, majority idiopathic
- infertility, germ cell neoplasia
- usually unilater (25% bilateral), small, firm testicle
- tubular atrophy: sertoli cells are present, no spermatogonia, Leydig cell hyperplasia
9
Q
Tunica Vaginalis
- Define
- Define Hydrocele
- Hematocele
- Chylocele
- Spermatocele
- Varicocele
A
- serous cavity: mesothelial lined sac immediately proximal to the testis and epididymis
- clear fluid in serous cavity (transillumination)
- blood in serous cavity (trauma, torsion)
- lymph in serous cavity (elephantiasis)
- Semen in serous cavity
- dilated veins in the spermatic cord; may feel like a “bag of worms”
10
Q
Epididymitis and Orchitis: Causes
- Viral
- Bacterial
- Granulomatous
- What do Gonorrhea and TB infect?
- What does syphilis infect?
A
- Mumps, Coxsackie B
- E coli, Neisseria, Gonorrhea
- TB, Syphilis, Leprosy, Brucellosis, Sarcoidosis
- epididymis
- testis
11
Q
Testicular Torsion
- What happens?
- When does it occur?
- Symptoms
- What happens if not treated?
- How is it treated?
- Success rate?
A
- twisting of cord –> thick-walled arteries patent–> vascular engorgement –> infarction
- neonate (in utero/right after birth), Adolescence (often w/o inciting injury, could be due to anatomic defect), doesn’t require severy injury
- sudden, severe pain
- congestion, edema, hemorrhage –> hemorrhagic infarct –> fibrosis
- surgery; UROLOGIC EMERGENCY
- surgery w/in 8 hrs = 80% salvage
surgery after 10 hrs = 20% salvage
12
Q
Testicular Tumors:
- What age group gets it?
- What ethnic group gets it?
A
- 15-34: most common tumor in men
2. Whites more than african americans (5:1)
13
Q
Testicular Tumors: Classification
- 2 Types
- Which type lacks malignant potential?
A
- Germ Cell Tumors and Sex Cord-Stromal Tumors
2. Sex Cord-Stromal Tumors
14
Q
Germ Cell Tumors
- One histologic Pattern (40%) (6)
- Mixed germ cell tumors (60%) (1)
A
- Seminoma, Spermatocytic seminoma, Embryonal Carcinoma, Yolk Sac Tumor, Choriocarcinoma, Teratomas
- Teratocarcinoma (Teratoma + embryonal)
15
Q
Seminoma
- Stage at presentation
- Where does it metastasize to?
- Radiosensitive?
- Cure rate?
A
- 70% stage I, localized to testis for long time
- lymph nodes
- yes, also chemosensitive
- 95%
