Leydig (interstitial) cells
produce testosterone
cryptorchidism
abnormal testicle descent

transbaodminal phase (mullerian inhibiting substance)
inguinoscrotal phase (androgen dependent)
torsion
twisting of spermatic cord blocks venous drainage but arteries still patent, hemorrhagic infarc, urologic emergency

sterile pyruria (WBC in urine) + negative culture after 24 hrs
always think renal TB

could also be chlamydia trachomatis

b. most radiosensitive
c. para-aortic lymph node metastasis

positive staining for placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP)

neoplastic cells divided into lobules separated by delicate septa
seminomatous tumors
cells resemble primordial germ cells or early gonocytes
identical tumor to seminoma but in women
dysgerminoma, occur sin ovary
mc testicular cancer in children
yolk sac tumor
yolk sac tumor mc testicular cancer in children
a. endodermal sinus tumor
b. schiller duval bodies (look like glomerulus)
c. INCREASED AFP and alpha-1 antitrypsin (eosinophilic hyaline like globules)
most malignant testicular cancer
choriocarcinoma
choriocarcinoma most malignant testiuclar cancer
a. increased B-hCG from syncytiotrophoblast
b. may produce gynecomastia
c. lung metastasis
teratoma
teratocarcinoma mc ass w increase in AFP and B-hCG: embryonal carcinoma _ teratoma
elderly male w low back pain
do a rectal to r/o prostate cancer before any other test

if alk phos elevated = osteoblastic metastasis from prostate
tumor staging
1. confined to primary site
2. confined to primary site + regional nodes
3. metastases to other organs
AFP for test tumors
yolk sac tumors
HCG for test tumors
choriocarcinoma
Lactate dehydrogenase and testicular tumors
correlates w tumor cell mass
reinke crystals
seen in leydig cell tumor
sertoli cell tumor
usually present as a testicular mass and are hormonally silent
10% malig
tumor cells arranged as trabeculae forming cordlike structures and tubules
chylocele
lymph in tunica vaginalis
spermatoele
cystic accumulation of semen in efferent ducts or dete testis
varicocele

blood in tunica vaginalis
hydrocele
collection of serous fluid in tunica vaginalis
tunica vaginalis

increased LH -> increased testosterone/17KS (hirsutism) -> increased adipose aromatizes androgens to estrogens (endometrial hyperplasia/cancer) -> estorgen inhibits FSH and enhances LH release -> continued cycle of LH stimulation -> lack of FSH causes atresia of follicles and large ovaries w subcortical cysts
