risk factors:
smoking most important
obesity, HTN, unopposed estrogne, asbestos, petroleum produtis, heavy metals, chronic renal failure, acquired cystic dsease and tubserou sclerosis
what are the three types of familial Renal cell carcinoma
von hippel lindau syndrome

hereditary clear cell carcinoma

hereditary papilllary carcinoma
what are the characters of von hippel lindau syndrome
AD
hemangioblastoma of cerebellum/retina
renal cysts
renal cell carcinoma


genetics - short arm of chromosme 3
what gene is affected in Hereditary familial clear cell carcinoma
short arm of chrom. 3

same as VHL but only the kidney is affected
what is character of hereditary papillary carcinoma
multiple bilateral tumors

MET protooncogene
what are the gene basis of the clear cell carcinoma
chrome 3
most common subtype of renal cell carcinoma
what is the gene basis for papillary carcinoma
trisomy 7,16,17 loss of Y tend to have better prognosis
what is the gene basis for chromophobe renal carcinoma
multiple chromosomes abnomalities and hypodiploidy, good prognosis
what is the gene basis for collecting duct carcinoma
least common subtype

chromosome losses and deletions but no specific gene known
what is the classic triad of renal cell carcinoma
eostovertebral pain, palpable mass, hematuria

only seen in 10% of cases
what is the presentation of renal cell carcinoma
classic triad

paraneoplastic syndrome-could cause any of a number of issues

tends to metastasize widely(lungs, bones)

5 year survival 45% up to 70% with no metastaic diseaes

nephrectomey treatment of choice
what is the gross morphology of renal cell carcinoma?
yellowish tumor wth focal hemorrhage and necorsis, tends to invade renal vein
what is the micro of renal cell carcinoma
clear cell- solid, trabecular, tubular
cells rounded, polygonal
rich think walled vascular network in septa
what is the character of urothelial cancer of renal pelvis
5-10% of renal tumors

manifest earlier due to hematuria or obstuction

50% associated with bladder tumor
how can you tell on microscopy of biopsy if urothelial cancer is present?
there should be 7 layers if more then its neoplastic
what is ureteritis follicularis
aggregates of lymphocyts in teh subeptihelial regions cause a slight elevation of the mucosa producing a fine granular suface
what is ureteritis cystica
presence of cysts on teh mucosal surface
what is seen on ureteritis
ureterisis follicularis

ureteritis cystica
what is sclerosing retroperitoneal fibrosis
fibrosis proliferatie inflammatory process that encases teh retroperitoneal stuctures ie kidneys, resulting in hydronephrosis

AKA ormonds disease
what is the cause and morphology of cystitis? (bladder infection)
cause-ecoli, proeus, enterobacter, mycobacetrial organims, candida albicans, schistosoma haematobuim, tuberclulosis

morphology
gross-hypermei of mucosa sometime ulceration

microscopic-nonspecific acute or chronic inflammation may be supporuatiev with exudates, chronic fiborsis is possible with chronic cysitsis
what is the triad of symptoms for cystitis
frequncy/urgency

lower absominal pain

dysuria
what is associated with hemorrhagic cystitis
complication of cheomtherpatuic agent cyclophosphamide and adenovirus
what is malacoplakia
peculiar pattern of inflammatory reaction/cystitis related to chronic bacterial infections
what is the morphology of malacoplakia
gross-soft, yellow, slightly raised mucosal plaques 3-4cm

micro- infiltration by large foamy macrophages, occasional giant cells and lyphocytes. also see MICHAELIS GUTTMANN bodies
what is the pathogenesisi of malacoplakia
related to chronic infection by e coli and prteus

defects in phagocytic or degradative function of macrophages
what is characteristic of inverted urothelial papiloma
grows downward into the mucosa

benign
what is the are the risk factors for bladder carcinoma
men>women
industrialized> developing country
age 50-80

cigarette smoking, arylamine exposrue, schistosoma haematrobium infectinos(SCC) radiation exposure, long tern antibiotic use
what is the genetic compentent of bladder cancer
chromosome 9 typically papillary noninvasive lesions

chromosome 17,13 invasive lesions
what is the presentation of urothelial tumors
painless hematuria

all types tend to recur
what is schistosoma haematobium associated with
Sqamous cell carcinoma of the bladder

bad prognosis
