Questions and Answers

What is the main distinction between the origins of carcinomas and nodular hyperplasia?

  • Carcinomas produce urinary obstruction early on while nodular hyperplasia is less likely to do so.
  • Carcinomas arise from centrally situated glands while nodular hyperplasia arises from peripheral glands.
  • Carcinomas are often palpable during digital examination while nodular hyperplasia is not.
  • Nodular hyperplasia arises from more centrally situated glands while carcinomas are palpable during digital examination. (correct)

    • What is a common cause of acute bacterial prostatitis?

  • Haemophilus influenzae
  • Staphylococcus aureus (correct)
  • Klebsiella pneumoniae
  • Chlamydia trachomatis

    • How might organisms reach the prostate in cases of acute prostatitis with concomitant acute urethritis and cystitis?

  • Through direct extension from the rectum
  • Through direct extension from the prostate
  • Through direct extension from the urethra or urinary bladder (correct)
  • Through direct extension from the kidneys
