23
Common benign enlargement of the prostate gland caused by the development of discrete nodules within the organ
Prostatic Hyperplasia
24
Common cancer in males that is TESTOTERONE DEPENDENT
Carcinoma of the Prostate
25
Four types of malignant germ cell tumors (4):
1. Seminomas 2. Teratomas 3. Embryonal Carcinoma 4. Choricarcinoma
26
These arise from the SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES that grow rapidly but tend to remain localized for a fairly long time before metastasizing
Seminomas
27
These malignant germ cell tumors arise from PRIMITIVE GERM CELLS
Teratomas
28
SMALLER IN SIZE than SEMINOMA, but are very invasive and metastasize fairly quickly.
Embryonal Carcinoma
29
Very small and aggressive neoplasms that are often nonpalpable and metastasize very early
Choriocarcinoma
30
Inflammation of the epididymis and testis
Epididymo-orchitis
31

Hydroceles

Spermatoceles
33

1. Vagina 2. Uterus
35
Occurs if a sperm enters the fallopian tube and burrows into the egg
Fertilization
36
Which imaging modality plays a vital role in detection and surgical removal of Fibroadenomas
Mammography
37
Carcinoma of the Breast is believed to be a MULTIFACTORIAL DISORDER because of (5):
1. Heredity 2. Endocrine Influence 3. Dietary Habits 4. Oncogenic Factor such as Virus 5. Environmental Factors such as Chemical Carcinogens
38
