Reproductive Flashcards
PCOS
amenorrhea, hirsutism, obesity. due to oversecretion of LH and decreased FSH. high estrogen
obstetric congugate
measurement used for assessing if a fetus can fit through a mother’s pelvis. tip of sacrum to posterior surface of pubic symphysis
Testicular Seminoma
malignant; painless
most common testicular tumor (15-35yo)
large cells in lobules with watery cytoplasm (fried-egg)
increase in placental alkaline phosphatase and sometimes bhCG
Testicular Yolk-Sac Tumor
aka Endodermal Sinus Tumor
yellow, mucinous
Schiller-Duvall bodies (look like primitive glomeruli)
increased AFP
Testicular Choriocarcinoma
Malignant
disordered syncytiotrophoblastic and cytotrophoblastic elements
mets to the lungs through blood
increase hCG (may produce gynecomastia)
Testicular Teratoma
more malignant in adult men than benign in kids
increased hCG and/or AFP
Testicular Embryonal Carcinoma
malignant, painful (worse prognosis than seminoma)
glandular/papillary morpholgy
can be pure or mixed with other cancers (mostly mixed)
increased hCG and normal AFP (when pure)- increased AFP (when mixed)
Ovarian Dysgerminoma
(like male seminoma but rarer) malignant sheets of uniforms cells associated with Turner syndrome increased hCG and LDH
Ovarian Choriocarcinoma
rare-malignant
can develop during or after pregnancy in mother or baby
trophoblastic tumor with NO chorionic villi
increase in frequency of theca-lutein cysts
spectrum of gestional trophoblastic neoplasia
spread to lungs early through blood
increased hCG
Ovarian Yolk Sac Tumor
aggressive malignancy in ovaries and saccrococcygeal area in kids
yellow, friable solid mass
schiller-duval bodies
increase AFP
Ovarian Teratoma
most common ovarian germ cell tumor
made of cells from 2 or 3 germ cell layers
Mature (dermoid cyst)- most common and benign
Immature- agressivley malignant
Struma ovarii- made of functional thyroid tissue (hyperthyroidism)
