Prognosis of Collecting Duct Carcinoma?
50-66% die
worst prognosis of typical RCC subtypes.

this is b/c collecting system is involved which backs up the urine into the blood thus causing toxicities and all kinds of problems.

Clear Cell RCC
Renal Urothelial Cell carcinomas involve what tissue type?
risk factors associated?
Transitional Cell epithelium (calyces, renal pelvis, ureters, bladder)

smoking, chemicals, chronic injury/irritation
Common sequels with obstructive uropathy?
you block urine, it sits around and brews up infection, and stones can also form. eventually you will lose renal function from hydronephrosis.
dilated renal pelvis
hydronephrosis
Pt presents with pain, hematuria, and an altered urinary output...you know this is probably a _________.
Urolithiasis
Urolithiasis types of stones?
Calcium
Struvite- magnesium, ammonium, phsophate
Uric Acid
Cystine
tell the etiology of these stones:
1) Calcium
2) Struvite
3) Uric Acid
4) Cystine
1) Most common 70% of time hypercalcemia/uria
2) bacterial infection (staghorn)
3) Gout
4) genetic defect in reabsortion of amino acids
Layers of visceral bladder? (inside-->out)
Mucosa
Lamina propria- incomplete slips of smooth m.
Muscularis propria- thick smooth m.
Adventitia
1) Out pouching of bladder?
2) Anterior bladder wall and abdominal wall missing?
1) diverticula
2) exstrophy
whats the deal with a patent urachus?
communicating duct from bladd to umbilicus which can set up lots of infection. typically requires surgical closing.
What causes Cystitis?
E.coli
Candida
SCHISTOSOMIASIS
chemicals can cause hemorrhagic cystitis.
What is Malacoplakia?
Buzz cues associated??
whitish, tanish, yellow plaques on the bladder wall

Michaelis- Gutmann bodies within lysosomes of macrophages.
Why would Transitional epithelium replaced with the following epithelia:
1) columnar
2) squamous
1) chemical environment protection
2) physical stressors protection
Urothelial epithelium cancers are:
Benign
Premalignant (KNOW)
Malignant
(name the associated neoplasm within each class)
Benign- urothelial papilloma

Premalignant- PUNLMP (Papillary urothelial neoplasm of low malignant potential) & Flat CIS (Flat carcinoma in situ)

Malignant- Papillary urothelial Carcinoma (TCC-Transitional Cell Carcinoma) & FLAT (associated w/CIS)
Difference in PUNLMP and TCC histologically
PUNLMP- mildly disorganized pattern w/ fibrovascular cores

TCC- less organized, big nuclei, mitotic figures.
Squamous Cell carcinoma associated with?
schistosomiasis
Bladder CA risk factors?
smoking
2- naphthylamine (aromatic compounds)

Extras:
Schistosoma
cyclophosphamides
Patient presents with hematuria. Biopsy shows multiple tumors. Dr. Leonard gives this specimen a high grade and notes presence of CIS in surrounding mucosa. What does the pt have?
Flat CA of uroepithelia associated with CIS
Small tumors in uroepithelia can be treated how?
TURBT- transurethralresection of bladder tumor
which stones are not seen on standard X-ray imaging?
Uric Acid stones
Struvite stones associated with what urine pH?
struvite is high pH, urine is low pH...salt precipitates.
most common suprapubic mass palpable mass?
urachal cysts. treat these soon b/c they can progress to an adenocarcinoma
CIS, high grade TCC, multifocal and rapid recurrence tumors are treated how?

T4 grades that invade?
immunotherapy/chemotherapy.

Cystectomy and/or systemic chemo
Renal Cell Carcinoma that can invade into the renal vein and possibly the IVC?
Clear Cell RCC
being called to the morgue to do an autopsy, you notice you have an african-american corpse in front of you. you start the autopsy and notice an abnormally small kidney with a granular surface. under histological section, you notice hyaline thick capillaries. what did the former pt have?
