XVIII - The Male Genital System COPY Flashcards
An abnormal opening of the urethra along the ventral aspect of the penis.
Hypospadias(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th ed., p 687
An abnormal opening of the urethra along the dorsal aspect of the penis.
Epispadias(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th ed., p 687
A congenital malformation of the bladder associated with epispadias.
Bladder extrophy(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th ed., p 688
A condition in which the prepuce cannot be retracted easily over the glans penis
Phimosis (TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th ed., p 688
Appears grossly as a solitary, plaquelike lesion on the shaft of the penis. Histologic examination reveals morphologically malignant cells throughout the epidermis with no invasion of the underlying stroma. Has potential for malignant transformation.
Bowen disease(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th ed., p 688
Bowen disease which presents as an erythematous patch on the glans penis.
Erythroplasia of Queyrat(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th ed., p 688
Occurs in young, sexually active males, histologically identical to Bowen disease. Presents with multiple reddish brown papules on the glans and is most often transient, with rare progression to carcinoma in immunocompetent patients.
Bowenoid papulosis (TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th ed., p 688
Appears as a gray, crusted, papular lesion, most commonly on the glans penis or prepuce, which infiltrates the underlying connective tissue to produce an indurated, ulcerated lesion with irregular margins.
Squamous cell carcinoma of the penis(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th ed., p 689
A variant of squamous cell carcinoma characterized by a papillary architecture, less striking cytologic atypia, and rounded, pushing deep margins.
Verrucous carcinoma (TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th ed., p 689
Most common cause of scrotal enlargement, which is an accumulation of serous fluid within the tunica vaginalis usually secondary to infection or malignancy.
Hydrocele(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th ed., p 689
Represents failure of testicular descent into the scrotum which involves the right testis more commonly than the left. Causes increased risk of sterility and development of testicular cancer.
Cryptorchidism(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th ed., p 690
Most important cause of firm, painless enlargement of the testis.
Testicular neoplasms(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th ed., p 690
Composed of sheets of large, uniform cells with distinct cell borders, clear, glycogen-rich cytoplasm, and round nuclei with conspicuous nucleoli. The cells are often arrayed in small lobules with intervening fibrous septa.
Seminomas(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th ed., p 691
These tumors contain a mixture of medium-sized cells, large uninucleate or multinucleate tumor cells, and small cells with round nuclei that are reminiscent of secondary spermatocytes.
Spermatocytic seminoma(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th ed., p 691
Ill-defined, invasive masses containing foci of hemorrhage and necrosis. Poorly differentiated, pleomorphic cells in cords, sheets, or papillary formation; most contain some yolk sac and choriocarcinoma cells
Embryonal carcinoma of the testis(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th ed., p 692
Most common primary testicular neoplasm in children younger than 3 years of age.
Yolk sac tumors/endodermal sinus tumors(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th ed., p 692
Low cuboidal to columnar epithelial cells forming microcysts, sheets, glands, and papillae, often associated with eosinophilic hyaline globules. (+) Schiller-Duval bodies
Yolk sac tumors/endodermal sinus tumors(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th ed., p 692
Structures resembling primitive glomeruli, seen in yolk sac tumors.
Schiller-Duval bodies(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th ed., p 692
Cytotrophoblast and syncytiotrophoblast without villus formation
Choriocarcinomas (TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th ed., p 692
Tissues from all three germ-cell layers with varying degrees of differentiation
Teratomas(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th ed., p 692
Teratoma which contain fully differentiated tissues from one or more germ cell layers (e.g., neural tissue, cartilage, adipose tissue, bone, epithelium) in a haphazard array.
Mature teratomas (TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th ed., p 692
Teratoma which contain immature somatic elements reminiscent of those in developing fetal tissue.
Immature teratomas(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th ed., p 692
Characterized by the presence of an acute, neutrophilic inflammatory infiltrate, congestion, and stromal edema of the prostate.
Acute prostatitis (TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th ed., p 695
Characterized by variable amount of lymphoid infiltrate, evidence of glandular injury, and, frequently, concomitant acute inflammatory changes of the prostate.
Chronic prostatitis (TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th ed., p 695
