Ace your homework & exams now with Quizwiz!

Peyronie disease

Abnormal *curvature* of penis due to *fibrous plaque* in tunica albuginea; causes ED, pain, or anxiety Not a penile fracture (that's rupture of coprora cavernosa)

Endometrial hyperplasia

Abnormal *proliferation of glands relative to stroma* caused by *excess estrogen* with increased risk of endometrial carcinoma; no increase in uterus size Presents as *postmenopausal bleeding* Risks = *anovulatory cycles*, hormone replacement therapy, polycystic ovarian, and granulosa cell tumor Anvoluatory can be due to obesity (increased estrone from adipose), eating disorders, and intense exercise (among other things)

Testicular torsion

Acute, severe pain, and *absent cremasteric reflex* (no elevation of scrotum when touching inner thigh) Due to failure of testes to attach to inner lining of processus vaginalis and rotation of testicle around spermatic cord Obstructs the thin veins and may cause conjestion/hemorrhagic infarct Orchiopexy (fix testis in scrotum) should be bilateral b/c contralateral testis is at increased risk

Adenosis and clear cell adenocarcinoma of the vagina

Adenosis = persistence of columnar epi in the upper 2/3 of the vagina which leads to clear cell columnar Clear cell = *malignant proliferation of glands* due to woman who had exposure to *DES* which crosses the placenta

Asherman Syndrome

Adhesions or *fibrosis* of endometrium associated with *curettage* of intrauterine cavity Scraping of the uterus leads to loss of the basalis layer (which is the regenerative later) Normally, progesterone withdrawal causes bleeding but NOT with this syndrome b/c it's basically just scar tissue

Immature teratoma

Aggressive *malignant* ovarian neoplasm that contains *fetal neuroectoderm* Diagnosed beofre age 20 with embryonic neural tissue

Placenta previa

Attachment of placenta to *lower uterine segment* so that you can see it from cervix Risk = multiple births, prior C section *painLESS third-trimester bleeding* Requires C section b/c baby can't get through w/o compromising blood supply

Congenital hydrocele and acquired hydrocele

Scrotal swelling in infants due to *incomplete obliteration of processus vaginalis* See fluid in the tunica vaginalis (serous membrane that covers testes/internal surface of scrotum) Acquired = due to *trauma*, infection, or tumor that blocks lymphatic ducts Both *transillumate*

Septate uterus, bicornuate uterus, and uterus didelphys

Septate = incomplete resorption of septum Bicornuate = incomplete fusion of mullerian ducts Uterus didelphys = complete failure of fusion (double uterus, cervix, and vagina)

Sclerosing adenosis

Subtype of fibrocystic change Central acini and stromal fibrosis w/ peripheral ductal dilations Often with *calcifications* and slight increase risk of cnacer

Swelling of chorionic villi and trophoblasts 46 XX or 46 XY (enucleated egg with single sperm that duplicates or 2 sperm) *no* fetal parts, *large increase in hCG*, *grapes/snowstorm* on ultrasound Increased risk of malignancy and choriocarcinoma (no p57 from maternal genome available) Vaginal bleeding and pelvic pressure

Partial hydatidiform mole

Swelling of chorionic villi and trophoblasts 69XXX, 69XXY, or 69XYY due to 2 sperm + 1 egg *fetal parts present* with slightly increased hCG Partial proliferation of trophoblasts with low risk of malignancy due to presence of *p57* from maternal genome Vaginal bleeding and pelvic pressure

46 XY DSD (disorder of sex devleopment)

Testes present but external genitalia are female Most common form is androgen insensitivity syndrome/testicular feminization (see next card)

Hypospadias and epispadia

Hypo = ventral (lower) surface of penis opening due to *failure of urethral folds to fuse* Epi = dorsal (upper) surface of penis opening due to *faulty positioning of genital tubercle* Epi is associated with bladder exstrophy (protrusion of bladder through abdominal wall)

Amniotic Fluid Embolism

Hypoxemic respiratory failure (dyspnea), DIC, and cardiogenic shock Occurs *abruptly after delivery*; Tissue factor/thromboplastin causes the DIC Findings: *fetal squamous cells in maternal pulmonary artery* at autopsy

Placental aromatase deficiency

Inability so make estrogen from androgens *Masculinization of female* (46 XX DSD) with *increased testosterone and androsteneidone* Presents with *maternal virilization* during pregancy (fetal androgens cross the placenta)

Periductal mastitis

Inflammation of subareolar ducts Think a *smoker* causing a *Vitamin A deficiency* Would see squamous metaplasia of lactiferous ducts leading to fibrosis and blockage Mass with *nipple retraction* *uncommon --> remember that smoking normally doesn't increase the risk for breast changes

Serous cystadenoma

Most common ovarian neoplasm; *benign* Lined with fallopian-tube like epithelium; often *bilateral* Premenopausal women; can have cauliflower like inclusions

Mucinous cystadenoma

Mulitloculated and large *benign* ovarian cyst lined by mucus-secreting epithelium

Invasive carcinoma of cervix

Often *squamous cell carcinoma* that is diagnosed via colposcopy (magnification) or biopsy Lateral invasion may block ureters and lead to *hydronephrosis/renal failure* Presents with postcoital bleeding and discharge Goes *through basement membrane* in a middle age woman; atypical cells are present in subepithelial stroma Immunodeficiency (HIV) is a big risk

46 XX DSD (disorder of sex development)

Ovaries but external genitalia virilized Excessive exposure to *androgenic steroids* (due to CAH or exogenous to mom when pregnant)

Placental abruption

Premature *separation* of placenta from uterine wall *before delivery* = painful bleeding in *third trimester* Due to trauma, smoking, HTN, cocaine; can cause DIC, shock, and fetal distress or still birth
