57 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH)
21-hydroxylase problem (chol --> cortisol) --> low cortisol and shut products to give excess testosterone/androgens
Turner's Syndrome
abnormality in or absense of 1 X (45X or 46XX/45X)
Carcinoma of the Prostate (CAP)
age, family hx, race (increased in AA; decreased in asians), PIN (prostatic intranuclear neoplasia - a morphologic precursor lesion); prognosis based on gleason score >7, lymph node metastases, seminal vesicle invasion, extensive capsular penetration, positive margins
pseudomyxoma peritonei
almost never ovarian in origin, associated mucinous tumor of the appendix or GI tract, NOT associated with rupture of ovarian tumors or with high stage mucinous borderline tumors
sex cord stromal tumors
arise from stromal cells (granulosa-stromal cell tumors vs. thecoma-fibroma group)
Germ cell Tumors
arise from the oocyte (dysgerminoma, endodermal sinus tumors, immature teratoma, mixed, embryonal carcinoma, choriocarcinoma)
post-partum breast infections
associated with breast feeding
ascending infections of placenta
bacterial (GBS, E. Coli, Enterococcus, Ureaplasma), sometimes candida or herpes
intraductal paplloma
benign epithelial tumor
fibroadenoma
benign stromal
phyllodes tumor
benign stromal
benign cystadenoma
benign surface epithelial tumor (look like big empty cyst on ultrasound)
endometrial polyps
focal, localized hyperplasia of basal endometriym
Endometriosis
genetic (MZ>DZ), increased exposure to menstruation (longer durtaion, increased reteorgrade, cervical stenosis)
germ cell testicular tumors
genetic (short chr12 - stem cell genes), cryptorchidism (undescended testes), family history, intersex syndromes, infertilut
Premature Ovarian Failure
genetic (turner syndrome), autoimmune, metabolic, infectious (mumps orchitis), iatrogenic exposures (chemo or radiation)
Mature Cystic Teratoma
germ cell tumor
Dysgerminoma
germ cell tumor
Lower Gential Tract Infection
gonorrhea, chlamydia
Infective Salpingitis
Gonorrhea, chlamydia (ascending salpingitis), anaerobic bact, mycoplasma hominis, h. influenzae, group A strep
breast cancer
hereditary, sporadic; BRCA1 (20-40%; AD tumor suppressor gene on Ch.7 w/ roles in genomic stability + homologous gene repair), BRCA2 (10-30%), TP53/PTEN, undiscovered genes
fibrocystic changes
hormonal effects, benign
Leiomyoma
hormones (enlarge during pregnancy, regress after menopause), abnormal gene expression to retain high sensitivity to E; accelerated growth with tamoxifen
cervical cancer
HPV viral E6/E7 genes cause cellular transformation and integrate into host DNA (risk for persistance increases when integrated), peristance needed for cancer progression (disrupt cell death pathways)
galactorrhea
hyperprolactinemia, amenorrhea (prolactinoma, drugs); if present with normoprolactinemia/regular menses, excess sensitivity of breast to prolactin?
dyspnea of pregnancy
hyperventilation (decreased PCO2, increase PO2 to increase maternal O2 consumption); awareness of increased tidal volume of pregnancy
Ectopic Pregnancy
implant outside of uterine cavity (tube, ovary, abdominal cavity); most common in ampulla (perotineal surface congested, lumen contains blood)
Epithelial Tumors
incessant ovulation (uninterrupted periods of ovulation lead to ovarian surface trauma, metaplasia, and eventual carcinogenesis); excess gonadotropins (excessive estrogen exposure causes hyperplasia of ovarian surface epithelium that over time leads to carcinogenesis)
endometrial hyperplasia
increased unopposed E
Chlamydia
intracellular parasite o f hyumans (small, gram - bacilli; trachoma or LGV); infectious elementary bodies
borderline carcinoma
low malignant potential surface epithelial tumor (little lump of tissue in cyst on ultrasound; staged similarly to invasive ovarian cancer)
ovarian carcinoma (invasive cystoadenocarcinomas)
malignant surface epithelial tumor
retroplacental hematoma/abruption
maternal HTN, vessels with lesions in wall
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
morph: nodular transition zone enlargement; stromal hyperplasia at 1st periurethral mesenchymal nodules (fetal stroma); both glands/stroma become hyperplastic; 30-50% have chronic prostatitis
Gonorrhea
N. gonorrhoeae (intracellular gram - diplococci; fastidious organism; grows on chocolate agar + CO2)
necrotizing enterocolitis
not sure, but likely due to immaturity of gut immune system, initiation of oral feedings, gut colonization with bacteria, ischemic injury
placental implantation abnormalities
outside of uterus ectopic pregnancy or in the internal os of the uterus (placenta previa) or into myometrium (placenta accreta b/c too thin decidua)
endometrial adenocarcinoma type 2
p53 mutation
gynecomastia
physiological (transient gynecomastia of the newborn, transient breast enlargement at puberty, of elderly); pathological (reudced androgen/estrogen production)
sheehan's syndrome
pituitary susceptible to decreased blood flow due to increased size during pregnancy
polycystic ovarian syndrome (stein-leventhal syndrome)
polygenetic inheritance: sex hormone and hormone regulators, steroid metabolism and biosynthesis, proteins involved in type 2 diabetes, CVD, proteins in inflamatory process
paget's disease of the nipple
presence of an underlying breast cancer (in situ or invasive)
Kallman Syndrome
pre-testicular infertility cause, dectect in GnRH
endometrial adenocarcinoma type I
PTEn, K-ras mut, microsatellite instability; UNOPPOSED ESTROGEN
breast hypoplasia/amastia
secondary to biopsy, chest wall trauma, thoracic radiation in childhood
supernumary nipples/polymastia
secondary to incomplete regression of milk streak
vertical fusion defects
