    Study Notes

    Pathology of Male Reproductive System

    • The male reproductive system consists of prostate, testis, and other accessory organs.

    Prostate Gland Disease

    • Common causes of urinary problems in men over 60 years old: prostatitis, BPH, and prostatic carcinoma.
    • a) Prostatitis:
      • Associated with specific infective cause (e.g., coli, Staphylococcus, Neisseria gonorrhoea).
      • Types: acute suppurative, chronic non-specific, and granulomatous prostatitis.
      • Symptoms: enlarged prostate, pain during urination.

    Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

    • Non-neoplastic enlargement of the prostate.
    • Characteristics:
      • ↑ prostate weight/enlarged prostate.
      • 50% in 40-60 years old, 95% in > 70 years old.
      • Severe cases require surgery.
    • Clinical Features:
      • Early stage: few symptoms, bladder muscles strong enough to push urine through a narrowing urethra.
      • Later stage: symptoms include weak urine flow, intermittent urination, leakage after urination, unable to empty the bladder, and nocturia.
    • Gross:
      • Solid nodules and cysts with yellowish necrotic areas and haemorrhagic margin.
      • Nodules: solid, composed of stroma and hyperplastic acini.
    • Histology:
      • Larger glands with tall epithelium lining and papillary projections.
    • Diagnosis:
      • Digital rectal examination: size and firmness of the prostate.
      • Urinalysis and urine culture.
      • Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test.
    • Treatments:
      • Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP).

    Carcinoma of Prostate

    • Etiology:
      • Genetic factors: genetic mutations (BRCA1, BRCA2, DNA repair genes).
      • Hormonal factors: androgens (testosterone, dihydrotestosterone) stimulate the growth of prostate cells.
      • Age: increases with age, majority of cases in men over 65 years old.
      • Inflammation: chronic inflammation of the prostate gland.
      • Environmental factors: diet, lifestyle, exposure to carcinogens, and occupational hazards.
      • Epigenetic changes: affect gene expression.
      • Tumor microenvironment: interactions between cancer cells and surrounding cells.
    • Pathology:
      • Hard, irregular, and ill-defined gray area.
      • Histology: adenocarcinomas in the glandular epithelium.
    • Clinical Features:
      • Urinary symptoms > BPH.
      • Hard craggy prostate on rectal examination.
      • Bone metastases: pain, pathological fracture, anemia.
      • Lymph node metastasis.

    • Undescended Testis (Cryptorchidism):
      • High risk of developing testicular cancer.
    • Hydrocele:
      • Accumulation of serous fluid within the tunica vaginalis of the testis.
    • Haematocele:
      • Accumulation of blood within the tunica vaginalis of the testis.
