hydatidiform mole see passage of grapelike masses (if no prenatal care) prenatal care: absent fetal heart sounds & snowstorm appearance on US Partial Mole: fetal parts Complete: no fetal parts
38
which mole has greater risk of choriocarcinoma; what would you use to screen?
complete mole | level of beta-hCG over the next year after D&C
39
ovarian neoplasm that contains transitional epithelium (bladder type epithelium)
Brenner tumor
40
What serum value can be used to monitor progression/recurrence of ovarian neoplasm?
CA-125
41
most common germ cell tumor in female

intraperitoneal accumulation of mucinous material from tumor of ovary or appendix
pseudomyxoma peritonei
46
venous drainage of the gonads

48
lymphatic drainage of scrotum/vulva

maintains the corpus luteum for the first trimester by acting like LH
hCG

66
hyperandrogenism, hyperinsulinemia (insulin & testosterone decrease SHBG synth therefore increased free testosterone) Presents with amenorrhea (oligomenorrhea), hirsutism, acne, infertility, obesity; LH:FSH > 2 (FSH is shut down because of feedback of peripheral conversion of androgens to estrogen)
polycystic ovarian syndrome | have increased risk of endometrial cancer from increased estrogens from aromatization of testosterone

location of highest density of breast tissue in a female
upper outer quadrant
68
breast tumor with large leaf-like projections; most commonly presents in 6th decade
phyllodes tumor
69
treatment of BPH
alpha1 antagonists: terazosin, tamsulosin (selective for receptors in prostate vs vascular) 5 alpha reductase inhibitor: finasteride
70
Why is varicocele more common in left testicle?
increased resistance to flow from left gonadal vein drainage into left renal vein
71
difference in mature teratoma in males from one in females
may be malignant
72
associated with priapism

mastitis | dicloxacillin & continue breastfeeding
76
subareolar mass with nipple retraction
periductal mastitis - usually from keratinization of cells blocking duct - columnar cells converted to squamous due to Vit A deficiency in smoking
77
inflammation with green-brown nipple discharge
mammary duct ectasia
78
causes calcification on mammogram | see giant cells
fat necrosis (from saponification)
79
causes downregulation of GnRH receptors in pituitary when given continuously therefore decreased FSH/LH
leuprolide | Use: prostate cancer
80
antagonizes estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus to prevent normal feedback inhibition -> increases LH & FSH release from pituitary -> ovulation
