(31 cards)
undescended testes also called ___
- usually found in what location
- associated with
- treatment
cryptorchidism
within inguinal canal
infertility, testicular tumors
orchiopexy (surgical repositioning) by 1 year-ish
hyalinized and thick BM, absence of spermatogenesis, more prominent Leydig cells
cryptorchid testes
fibrotic seminiferous tubules
atrophic testes
causes of orchitis / epididymitis
children: congenital anomalies, GNR
young men: STDs (chlamydia, gonorrhea)
older men: E. coli, pseudomonas
std starts in posterior urethra
gonorrhea
bilateral mumps results in
infertility
organism starts in epididymis
TB
organism starts in testis
syphilis
testicular tumors are mostly
- chromosome
malignant mixed germ cell tumors
12, i(12p) - isochromosome of short arm
serum tumor markers for testes
HCG
AFP
LDH
testicular tumors spread to what LN
para-aortic LN
what testicular tumors are radiosensitive and radioresistant
seminomas radiosensitive
nonseminomatous tumors radioresistant (but can use combo chemo)
in situ lesion of testes thought to give rise to most germ cell tumors
intratubular germ cell neoplasia (ITGCN)
placental alkaline phosphatase
c-KIT (CD117)
seminoma
abundant clear cyto and prominent nucleoli with reactive T cells and uniform cells
seminoma
3 cell populations, doesn’t met, in older males
spermatocytic seminoma
glandular, atypical nuclei, basophilic cyto, frequent mitoses, 30 year old
embryonal carcinoma
most common testicular tumor in infants and children
yolk sac (endodermal sinus) tumor
have Schiller-Duval bodies (central blood vessel in tumor germ cells) among lace-like pattern
Yolk sac tumor
AFP or alpha 1 antitrypsin
yolk sac tumor
have syncytiotrophoblasts (make HCG) and cytotrophoblasts with early mets, necrosis, hemorrhage
choriocarcinoma
various germ cell layers
teratoma
sexual precocity in kids (facial hair) or gynecomastia in adults
Leydig cell tumor
crystalloids of Reinke
Leydig cell tumor
