95% of all testicular tumors are ________

testicular germ cell tumors

A testicular mass that does not transilluminate

testicular CA

Risk factors for testicular germ cell tumors?

cryptorchidism

5% of all testicular tumors are _______

Non-cell cell tumors. Mostly benign.

Contains reinke crystals

Leydig cell tumor

Angrogen producing tumor that produces, gynecomastia in men and precocious puberty.

Leydig cell tumors

Golden brown color appearance

Leydig cell tumors

Most common non-germ tumor

Leydig cells

Why does leydig cell tumors produce gynecomastia?

Because excess androgen forms estrogen

Androblastoma from sex cord stroma

Sertoli cell tumor

What conditions are associated to sertoli cell tumor?

Peutz-Jeghers sx, Carney sx

Non-germ cell tumors that produce gynecomastia

Leydig cell*, Sertoli cell tumor

Most common testicular cancer in older men

Testicular lymphoma

Non-germ cell tumor that is not primary, aggressive

Testicular lymphoma

Lesions in the serous covering the testis that presents as a testicular mass that can be transilluminated

Hydrocele, speratocele

Increased fluid secondary to incomplete obliteration of processus vaginalis

Hydrocele

Dilated epididymal duct

Spermatocele

Precursors of squamous cell carcinoma

Bowen disease, erythroplasia of Queyrat, bowenoid papulosis


Associated to: HPV, lack of circumcision

Painful sustained erection, not associated with sexual stimulation or desire

Priapism

Associated to spinal cord traumas and sickle cell disease

Priapism

Angulation of the penis, due to inflammation and fibrous tissue formation of tunica albuginea. Very painful.

Peyronie disease

Benign genital warts caused by HPV 6 and 11

Condyloma acuminatum

Inflammation of the glans penis, common in uncircumcised and diabetics.

Balanitis

Most common cause of balanitis

40% due to candida



Common onset for BPH?

present in 80% of men over 80 years old

Dysuria, frequency, urgency, low back pain. Caused by bacteria

Prostatitis

Prostatitis in <35 year olds is caused by

Gonorrhea, Chlamydia

Prostatitis in >35 year olds is caused by

E. Coli, Klebsiella, serratia, enterobacter, proteus

Causes of BPH

Androgens; increased DHT mostly, can be seen in increased testosterone

Nodular enlargement of the periurethral (lateral and medial) lobes, which compresses the urethra into a vertical slit.

BPH

BPH symptoms

increased frequency of urination (every 2h), nocturia (2-3x a night), difficulty starting and stopping the stream, dysuria

Complications of BPH

Distention and hypertrophy of the bladder, hydronephrosis, UTIs

Treatment with nonselective alpha antagonists

Cause relaxation of smooth muscle:


CTerazosin, prazosin, doxazosin, prazosin

Tamsulosin (flomax

BPH Tx


selective alpha-1AD receptor blocker. Fewer SE than non-selective because alpha-1B receptors in blood vessles

5-alpha-reductase inhibitors

BPH Tx


Finasteride, dubasteride


Slowly reduces DHT levels-> decrease in prostate volume over 3-6mm


SE: decreased libido, ejaculatory disorder, impotence

What might you find during a prostate exam of a patient with BPH?

Probably not palpable because it is in the anterior lobe and when you introduce finger its opposite to that direction

What might you find during a prostate exam of a patient with prostatic adenocarcinoma?

Very palpable, hard nodule.

Palpable prostate size in BPH

Does not correlate with symptom severity

What lab is increased in BPH?

Increased free prostate specific agent

Symptoms of prostatic adenocarcinoma

Urinary symptoms same as BPH

Common age onset of prostatic adenocarcinoma

men >50

Most common location for prostatic adenocarcinoma

Poster lobe

Diagnosis of prostatic adenocarcinoma is mostly done by:

Palpable during exam--> needle core biopsy

How is PSA in prostatic adenocarcinoma?

Increased total PSA, decreased free PSA

Lower back pain in patient with prostatic adenocarcinoma:

Think of osteoblastic metastases in bone: also increases ALP and PSA

Undescended testis (1 or both)

Cryptoorchidism

Impaired spermatogenesis (since sperm develop best at temperatures <37degrees), normal testosterone levels (bc leydig cells are unaffected by temperature)

Cryptoorchidism

How are inhibin, FSH, LH, testosterone levels in cryptoorchidism?

Decreased inhibin, increased FSH and LH. Testosterone decreased if its bilateral, normal if its unilateral

Dilated veins in pampiniform plexus as a result of increased venous pressure

Clinically, how do you confirm diagnosis of epididymitis?

Elevate testes and there is relief

Treatment of epididymitis?

<35 years old: think gonorrhea/chlamydia


- ceftriaxone IM then doxycycline for 10 days



>35 years or history of anal intercourse: enterobacteriaecea. Treat with fluoroquinolone for 10-14 days
