Study Notes
Benign and Malignant Diseases of the Male Reproductive System
- Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) primarily affects men aged 60 and above
- Hormonal imbalance, specifically an increase in the estrogen-to-testosterone ratio, contributes to the development of BPH
- As testosterone converts to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by 5α-reductase, this increase in DHT stimulates the proliferation of glandular and stromal cells in the prostate, leading to median lobe enlargement
- The enlarged median lobe compresses the urethra, causing bladder outlet obstruction
- Symptoms often include nocturia, urinary retention, dribbling, and urgency
- Finasteride is a common treatment for BPH, inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to DHT
- Patients may experience voiding symptoms (hesitancy, dribbling, retention) and storage symptoms (urgency, nocturia, frequency)
- Common complications of BPH include urethral obstruction and bladder atony
Prostate Adenocarcinoma
- Prostate adenocarcinoma originates from the glandular epithelium
- It disrupts the prostate architecture through abnormal gland formation within existing glands
- Manifestations often include large nuclei, prominent nucleoli, and loss of basal cells
- Potential metastasis leads to bone involvement, resulting in osteoblast or osteoclast activity
- Diagnosis methods such as digital rectal examination, transrectal ultrasound, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests, and MRI are employed
Testicular Tumors
- Testicular tumors encompass germ cell and non-germ cell types
- Germ cell tumors include seminoma, spermatocytic carcinoma, choriocarcinoma, and embryonal carcinoma
- Non-germ cell tumors include Leydig cell and Sertoli cell tumors
- Seminoma tumors do not secrete any tumor markers, and treatment is typically possible even in malignant cases
Diseases of Vulva, Vagina, and Cervix
- Vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) is a neoplasm of the vulva
- This disease, potentially caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6 and 11, can manifest as anogenital warts
- This isn't typically considered malignant, but early detection is necessary
- Vaginitis is often caused by Gardnerella vaginalis
Diseases of the Uterus
- Leiomyoma, or uterine fibroids, are benign tumors arising from the smooth muscle layer of the myometrium
- Risk factors may include genetics, oral contraceptives, and estrogen
- Symptoms may be asymptomatic, or include menorrhagia, metrorrhagia, or possibly both
Endometriosis
- Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity
- Potential causes include implantation theory, coelomic metaplasia theory, and chemical substance induction
- Common symptoms include period pain (dysmenorrhea), painful intercourse (dyspareunia), excessive menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia), and chronic pelvic pain
Gestational Trophoblastic Disease (GTD)
- GTD comprises conditions with abnormal trophoblastic tissue development
- Two main types are hydatidiform mole and choriocarcinoma.
- Hydatiform mole exhibits grape-like, fluid-filled villi
- Possible complications include choriocarcinoma
Diseases of the Fallopian Tubes and Ovaries
- Ovarian cysts, including luteal, corpus luteum, follicular, and polycystic, are potential conditions
- Risk factors of polycystic ovarian disease include obesity, hirsutism, anovulation, and oligomenorrhea
Diseases of the Breast
- Fibrocystic disease of the breast is a benign condition characterized by the formation of lumps, nipple discharge, calcification, apocrine metaplasia, and fibrosis
- Ductal carcinoma in situ involves malignant cells within the ducts of the breast but does not penetrate the basement membrane; invasive ductal carcinoma involves malignant cells that breach the basement membrane. Malignant breast diseases can metastasize, leading to more serious health concerns.
