26
Q

MC cause of hydronephrosis in indants and children

A

Ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction
If early, bilateral in 20%, more in males, and associated with other anomalies
In adults, it is more in women

27
Q

A 46 year old woman came in due to difficulty urinating. Work up showed obstruction on bilateral ureters. What could possibly be the cause?
Pathogenesis?

A

Sclerosing retroperitoneal fibrosis (SRF)
- fibrotic proliferative inflammatory process that encases retroperitoneal structures and cause hydronephrosis
Primary or idiopathic (Ormond disease)
IgG4-related disease

28
Q

MC and serious congenital anomaly of the UB

A

Vesicoureteral reflux

29
Q

Developmental failure in the anterior wall of the abdomen and the UB.
Prognosis?

A

Exstrophy of the bladder
Exposed bladder mucosa—> colonic glandular metaplasia
Prone to infection
Increased risk of adenocarcinoma of the bladder remnant

30
Q

Result of only a central region of patent urachus. Prognosis?

A

Urachal cyst
- lined by urothelial or metaplastic glandular epithelium
Increased risk for neoplastic transformation (adenocarcinoma)

32
Q

Cytotoxic agent that can cause hemorrhagic cystitis

A

Eosinophilic cystitis

34
Q

An unpleasant sensation in the UB assoc with UB symptoms of more than 6 weeks in the absence of infection and other identifiable causes.
Should it be biopsied? Why?

A

Interstitial cystitis (chronic pelvic pain syndrome)
Yes, to rule out carcinoma in situ (CIS) which mimics interstitial cystitis
A late ulcerative phase has chronic mucosal ulcers (Hunner ulcers) —> transmural fibrosis may lead to a contracted bladder

35
Q

A chronic inflammatory reaction that stems from acquired defects in phagocyte function in the setting of chronic bacterial infection mostly by E. Coli or proteus, mostly in the immunosuppressed. Grossly, it is a soft yellow, slightly raised mucosal plaque. Microscopically the macrophages have abundant granular cytoplasm due to phagolysosomes stuffed with bacterial debris. Calcium deposition in the enlarged lysosomes result in laminated mineralized concretions. What are these called? Dx?

A

Malakoplakia
Michaelis-gutmann bodies

36
Q

T or F: extensive and multifocal intestinal metaplasia in cystitis glandularis is a precursor to adenocarcinoma

A

True
Also true for extensive multifocal keratinizing squamous metaplasia —> dysplasia—> scca
(Must be distinguished from glycogenated squamous epithelium in the trigone region of the bladder in women)

37
Q

Associated with a worse prognosis in urothelial carcinomas

A

Invasion of the muscularis propria (detrusor muscle)
- 30% 5 year mortality rate
- indication for radical cystectomy or radiation therapy with neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy

38
Q

Assoc mutations in non muscle invasive papillary cancers
Progression to muscle invasive cancer?

A

Gain of function mutations
Amplification of FGFR3
Activating mutations in RAS and PI3K
Frequently recur but progress to cancer in only 20% of cases

39
Q

Mutations in CIS
Progression to muscle invasive cancer?

A

Rb and TP53 mutations
Majority of muscle invasive cancers develop from CIS

40
Q

Difference in prognosis of exophytic papilloma and inverted papilloma?

A

Exophytic papillomas has a rare chance of progression.
Inverted papillomas are completely benign.

41

42
Q
