Q

How does serous “papillary” carcinoma spread?

32
How is Clomiphene effective in treating infertility?
it's competitive inhibitor of estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus, so it prevents negative feedback = GnRH, FSH and LH levels increase

What is Danazol used for?
endometriosis and fibrocystic breast disease
34
extramammary Paget's disease is S-100 protein \_\_\_\_\_.
negative
35
What organ is also removed in a patient with a mucinous cystadenoma of the ovary? Why?
the appendix is also removed; appendiceal tumor is the most common cause of pseudomyxoma pertonei (mucin throughout the abdomen)
36
In what tumor are Call-Exner bodies found?
granulosa cell tumor
37
Which cell type predominates in acute endometritis?
neutrophils

What are the more common progestins used in contraceptive meds?
Norgestrel Levonorgestrel Norethindrone Ethynodiol diacetate
39
What will characteristically be found in Leydig cells?
Reinke crystals
40
What's the weird thing about Leiomyosarcoma?
Majority arise de novo, not out of pre-existing leiomyoma. \*\*Leiomyomas are NOT a risk factor for leiomyosarcoma
41
How do you treat anovulatory cycle?
OCP's
42
What's Raloxifine used for?
postmenopausal osteoporosis; agonist of estrogen receptors in the bone

pelvic endometriosis; hypercalcemia
44
Clear cell adenocarcinoma of the vagina is due to what?
intrauterine exposure to diethylstilbestrol (DES)
45
What are Call-Exner bodies?
small holes that are full of a pink secretion seen in granulosa cell tumors
46
What's the MOA of Mifepristone (RU 486)?
competitive inhibitor of progestins at progesterone inhibitors
47
The pathogenicity of vaginal candida infections correlates with ability to adhere to tissues. What can increase its ability to attach?
estrogen
48
How do the chancre of chancroid differ from the chancre of syphilis?
chancroid= painful syphilis= painless
49
What is salpingitis?
inflammation of the fallopian tubes
50
What's the vaginal pH with a candida infection?
normal (
51
What causes an anovulatory cycle?
Caused by excess estrogen (relative to progesterone) with proliferative “growth” until endometrial collapse on itself, spiral arteries rupture, and bleeding occurs.
52
Which proteins of high risk HPV disable two important tumor suppressor proteins that regulate the cell cycle? Which HPV protein goes with which tumor suppressor?
HPV proteins E6 and E7; E6 binds p53 and E7 binds to RB
