First Aid Ovarian and Testicular Cancers

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Follicular cyst   Distention of unruptured graafian follicle. May be associated with hyperestrinism and endometial hyperplasia  
🗑
Corpus luteum cyst   Hemorrhage into persistent corpus luteum. Menstrual irregularity  
🗑
Theca-lutein cyst   Often bilateral/multiple. Due to gonadotropin stimulation. Associated with choriocarcinoma and moles.  
🗑
Chocolate cyst   Blood-containing cyst from ovarian endometriosis. Varies with menstrual cycle.  
🗑
(Ovarian) Dysgerminoma   Germ cell tumor. Malignant, equivalent to male seminoma. Sheets of uniform cells. Most common malignant ovarian tumor. Elevated hCG, elevated serum LDH.  
🗑
(Ovarian) Choriocarcinoma   Germ cell tumor. Rare but malignant, can develop during pregnancy in mother or baby. Large, hyperchromatic syncytiotrophoblastic cells. Increased frequency of theca-lutein cysts. Hyatidiform mole is a precurser for this. Elevated hCG.  
🗑
(Ovarian) Yolk sac (endodermal sinus tumor)   Germ cell tumor. Aggressive malignancy in ovaries (testes in boys) and sacrococcygeal area of young children. Schiller-Duval bodies (resembles yolk sac). Elevated AFP.  
🗑
(Ovarian) Teratoma   Germ cell tumor. 90% of ovarian germ cell tumors. Contain cells from 2 or 3 germ layers. Mature teratoma (‘dermoid cyst’) – most frequent benign ovarian tumor. Immature teratoma – aggresively malignant.  
🗑
Struma ovarii   Contains functional thyroid tissue. Can present as hyperthyroidism. Associated with teratoma’s.  
🗑
(Ovarian) Serous cystadenoma   Non-Germ cell tumor. 20% of ovarian tumors. Frequently bilateral, lined with fallopian tube-like epithelium. Benign.  
🗑
Serous cystadenocarcinoma   Non-Germ cell tumor. 50% ovarian tumors, malignant and frequently bilateral.  
🗑
(Ovarian) Mucinous cystadenoma   Non-Germ cell tumor. Multilocular cyst lined by mucus-secreting epithelium. Benign.  
🗑
(Ovarian) Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma   Non-Germ cell tumor. Malignant. Pseudomyxoma peritonei (abdominal mass of mucus).  
🗑
(Ovarian) Brenner tumor   Non-Germ cell tumor. Benign. Looks like Bladder.  
🗑
(Ovarian) Fibroma   Non-Germ cell tumor. Bundles of spindle-shaped fibroblasts.  
🗑
Meigs’ syndrome   Triad of ovarian fibroma, ascites, and hydrothorax. Pulling sensation in groin. Associated with Ovarian fibroma’s.  
🗑
(Ovarian) Granulosa cell tumor   Non-Germ cell tumor. Secretes estrogen leading to precocious puberty (kids). Can cause endometrial hyperplasia or carcinoma in adults.  
🗑
Call-Exner bodies   Small follicles filled with eosinophilic secretions. Associated with Granulosa cell tumors.  
🗑
(Ovarian) Krukenberg tumor   Non-Germ cell tumor. GI malignancy that metastasizes to ovaries, causing a mucin-secreting signet cell adenocarcinoma.  
🗑
(Vaginal) squamous cell carcinoma   Secondary to cervical SCC.  
🗑
(Vaginal) clear cell adenocarcinoma   Exposure to DES (Diethylstilbestrol; used to be given to pregnant women to prevent miscarriages; now its known to cause vaginal clear cell adenocarcinoma in young girls).  
🗑
(Vaginal) sarcoma botryoides (rhabdomyosarcoma variant)   Affects girls <4 yrs of age; spindle shaped tumor cells that are desmin positive.  
🗑
CA-125   General ovarian cancer marker  
🗑
CA-19-9   Colorectal and pancreatic cancer marker.  
🗑
CEA   Colorectal and pancreatic cancer marker. (Used to monitor colon cancer tumor recurrance)  
🗑
Alpha FetoProtein   Marker for Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Non-seminomatous testicular germ cell tumors (i.e. Yolk sac tumors).  
🗑
DHEA   Excess production of androgens (i.e. Adrenal Hyperplasia)  
🗑
(Breast) Fibroadenoma   Most common tumor <25 y/o. Small, mobile, firm mass with sharp edges. Increase size and tenderness w/pregnancy. Not a precursor to breast cancer.  
🗑
(Breast) Intraductal Papilloma   Tumor of lactiferous ducts; presents with serous or bloody nipple discharge.  
🗑
(Breast) Phyllodes tumor   Large, bulky mass of connective tissue and cysts. Tumor may have ‘leaflike’ projections. Some may be malignant (cystosarcoma phyllodes). >50 y/o, no cyclical (menstrual) pain.  
🗑
(Breast) Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS)   Noninvasive, early malignancy without basement membrane penetration.  
🗑
(Breast) Invasive ductal, no specific type   Invasive. 76% of the invasive breast cancers. Frim, fibrous mass, FOLLOWS LYMPHATICS! Worst and most invasive; common.  
🗑
(Breast) Invasive lobular   8% of invasive breast cancers. Often multiple; BILATERAL, orderly rows of cells.  
🗑
(Breast) Medullary   1.2 – 10% of invasive breast cancers. Fleshy, cellular, lymphocytic infiltrate. Good prognosis.  
🗑
(Breast) Comedocarcinoma   1.6% of invasive breast cancers. Ductal, caseous necrosis.  
🗑
(Breast) Inflammatory   Invasive. Lymphatic involvement. Red, swollen, peau d’orange (breast skin resembles orange peel).  
🗑
(Breast) Paget’s disease of the breast   Eczematous patches on nipple. Paget cells- Large cells with clear halo; suggests underlying carcinoma. Also seen on vulva.  
🗑
(Testicular) Seminoma   Germ cell tumor. Malignant, painless testicular enlargement; most common testicular tumor, mostly affecting males age 15-35. Large cells in lobules with watery cytoplasm and a ‘fried egg’ appearance. Radiosensitive. Late metastasis, excellent prognosis  
🗑
(Testicular) Embyonal carcinoma   Germ cell tumor. Malignant, PAINFUL, worse prognosis than seminoma. Often glandular/papillary morphology. Can differentiate to other tumors.  
🗑
(Testicular) Yolk sac (endodermal sinus) tumor   Germ cell tumor. Analogous to ovarian yolk sac tumor. Schiller-Duval bodies, primitive glomeruli. Increased AFP.  
🗑
(Testicular) Choriocarcinoma   Germ cell tumor. Malignant. Increased hCG  
🗑
(Testicular) Teratoma   Germ cell tumor. Unlike in females, mature teratoma in males is most often malignant.  
🗑
Leydig cell tumor   Non-germ cell tumor. Benign, contains Reinke crystals; usually androgen producing, gynecomastia in men, precocious puberty in boys.  
🗑
Sertoli cell tumor   Non-germ cell tumor. Benign, androblastoma from sex cord stroma.  
🗑
Testicular lymphoma   Non-germ cell tumor. Most common testicular cancer in older men.  
🗑
Varicocele   Tunica Vaginalis lesion. Dilated vein in pampiniform plexus; can cause infertility; ‘bag of worms’. Warm, soft mass in scrotum. Pain on exercise, relieved when lying down or with valsalva maneuver.  
🗑
Hydrocele   Tunica Vaginalis lesion. Increased fluid secondary to incomplete fusion of processus vaginalis.  
🗑
Spermatocele   Tunica Vaginalis lesion. Dilated epidydymal duct.  
🗑
Erythroplasia of Queyrat   Penile pathology- Carcinoma in situ. Red velvety plaques, usually involving the glans; otherwise similar to Bowen’s disease.  
🗑
Bowenoid papulosis   Penile pathology- Carcinoma in situ. Multiple papular lesions; affects younger age group than other subtypes; usually does not become invasive.  
🗑
Bowen’s Disease   Penile pathology- Carcinoma in situ. Gray, solitary, crusty plaque, usually on the shaft of the penis or on the scrotum; peak incidence in 5th decade of life; progresses to invasive SCC in <10% of cases.  
🗑
Penile Squamous cell carcinoma   Penile pathology. Rare in circumsised men; uncommmon in the USA and Europe, more common in Asia, Africa, and South America. Commonly associated with HPV.  
🗑
Peyronie’s Disease   Penile pathology. Bent penis due to acquired fibrous tissue formation.  
🗑
