Repro06 Flashcards
(01)
(Epidymis)
(Spermatocyst (spermatocele))
- cystic dilation of epididymal duct
accumulation of what in duct?
etiology?
- By itself not important but sperm leaks out of duct into surrounding tissue acting as foreign body causing what?
- sperm
congenital deformity, acquired occlustion from trauma and onset of spermatogenesis
- inflammation (spermatic granuloma)
(2)
(Epididymitis)
- co exist with what?
- canine distemper and brucella ovis
- 90% of lesions where?
- low-grade inflammatory resonse - what is destroyted?
- sperm leaks out leading to what?
- orchitis
- tail of epididymis
- tubular epi
- spermatic granuloma
(3)
(Epididymitis)
- tail how much bigger?
- Testicular degeneration secondary to what?
- Cx?
- What infection in dogs produces chronic epididymitis?
- 4-5 times normal size
- sperm stasis
- flock infertitily, palpable lesions in ram
- Brucella canis
(04)
(Spermatic Cord)
(Inflammation - funiculitis)
- often follows what?
Excessive granulation from tissue infection leads to what?
common in what?
infection by what?
- open catstration
“scirrhous” cord (a firm or hard spermatic cord caused by extensive scarring)
pigs
Streptococcus sp. and Staphylococcus sp.
(05)
(Spermatic Cord)
- what infection in geldings?
Term for pyogranulomatous inflammation caused by Staphyloccocus aureus is what?
- Verminous granulomas in spermatic cord of horses may be caused by what?
- staph
botryomycosis
- strongyle larva migration
(6)
(seminal vesicles)
(inflammation)
- seminal vesiculitis - bulls
most common in what?
most common cause used to be what?
- If inflammation is suppurative, bacteria is usually what?
- beef breeds
brucella abortus
- Arcanobacterium pyogenes
(Pseudomonas, E.coli, and Streptococcus also have been incriminated)
(7)
(Prostate Gland)
(genearal)
- primarily in what?
- also in boars and bulls with what?
(Atrophy)
- due to what?
- dogs
- brucelllosis
- senility, castration
(Becomes firm due to replacement of smooth muscle by fibrous connective tissue)
(8)
(Prostate Gland)
(Hyperplasia)
- common and important entity in what?
- most affected?
- what % of intact male dogs over 5 years of age have some degree of prostatic hyperplasia?
- dogs
- male 4-5 yrs
- 60%
(9)
(Prostatic Hyperplasia)
(Cx)
- how common in constipation?
- how common in difficulty in urination?
why?
- common (due to rectal pressure caused by the enlarged gland)
- far less common (unlike in man)
No compression of urethra in the dog
(Slight pressure on bladder wall by palpation will cause urination)
(10)
(Prostatic Hyperplasia)
1 If the gland is very large, the urinary bladder is pulled where?
causes what?
- Secondary urinary infections occur due to what?
- anterior into the abdonminal cavity
stretching of urethra and narrowing of the lumen
- urinary retention
(11)
(Prostatic Hyperplasia)
(etiology)
- hormonal imbalance - does it occur in castrated dogs?
- what cures?
- Estrogen
what tumor of dogs?
Castrated male sheep get prostatic hyperplasia when on subterranean clover containing estrogen. Also can be seen with excessive estrogen-like compounds in feed
- never
- castration
- sertoli
(12)
(Prostatic Hyperplasia)
(Gross findings)
- enlargement of gland (on rectal palpation)
- Palpation - soft and fluctuant mass with fluctuant cyst
(micro appearance)
(13)
(Prostatitis)
(Sequela to hyperplasia in old dog)
(etiology - dog)
- UTI - with what?
- fluid in what becomes inflamed?
- type of inflammation (acute - diffuse - suppurative - leads to abscesses))
- bulls and boards with what?
- what infection of dog?
- proteus, E. coli, strep, staph
- hyperplastic cyst
- brucellosis
- Brucella Canis
(14)
(Prostatic Neoplasia)
- Relationship of hyperplasia to neoplasia being investigated
- how common vs hyperplasia in dog?
- not as common
(15)
(Prostatic Neoplasia)
(gross)
- usually uni or bi?
- extremely firm on rectal palpation - why?
- metastasize?
to bones?
to other organs?
- uni (+ loss of lobulation)
- contaion much fibrous CT (scirrhous carcinoma)
- yes - to regional (inguinal) lymph nodes
no (does in man)
can (brain)
