A. Leydig cell tumor
B. Embryonal cell carcinoma
C. Seminoma
D. Teratoma
C
A patient who underwent radical orchiectomy for a testicular malignancy showed increased LDH levels on follow up. To diagnose lymphatic recurrence and spread of the tumor, you must do:
A. inguinal lymph node biopsy
B. chest CT scan
C. abdominal CT scan
D. supraclavicular node aspiration biopsy
C
The following combination of events lead to prostatic enlargement
A. Increase in DHT levels and transfroming growth factor
B. Decline in the epidermal growth factor and transforming growth factor
C. Agein and a decline in the testosterone levels
D. Inrease in the epidermal growth factor and DHT levels
D
What is the most important diagnostic test for prostatic enlargement?
A. Prostate specific antigen (PSA)
B. Digital Rectal Exam (DRE)
C. KUB Xray
D. Ultrasound
B
Alpha adrenergic receptors are used for LUTS because of this mechanism:
A. prevents conversion of testosterone to DHT
B. stimulate smooth muscle contraction
C. stimulate apoptosis
D. increased vasodilation
B
The most common pathophysiology of orchitis is:
A. Local spread of perianal microflora
B. Contiguous spread from urethritis
C. Hematogenous spread from the urinary tract
D. Lymphatic spread from inguinoscrotal infections
B
An exophytic enlarging growth at the area of the penile glans would present on histopathology as:
