epispadias | abnormal opening of urethra on dorsal side of penis; increased UTIs and incontinence |
carcinoma of the penis | very rare in circumcised penises; associated with HPV |
Bowen disease | carcinoma in situ of the penis, very early form of cancer |
cryptorchidism | failure of the testes to drop |
orchitis | inflammation of the testes which are swollen and tender |
seminomas | cancer of the testes; remain localized, extremely radiosensitive and spread via lymphatics |
nonseminomatous germ cell tumors | testicular cancer that spreads earlier, less radiosensitive and spreads via bloodstream |
prostatitis | inflammation of the prostate, can be acute or chronic |
bacterial prostatitis | caused by same organisms as UTIs (E. coli) |
nonbacterial prostatitis | chronic inflammation with negative bacterial cultures |
benign prostatic hyperplasia (nodular hyperplasia) | enlargement of the prostate, often with urinary symptoms and UTIs |
carcinoma of the prostate | most common cancer in men; dysuria not immediate |
prostate specific antigen (PSA) | marker in management of prostate cancer but can be elevated in other benign conditions too |
syphilis (lues) | STD from spirochete Treponema pallidum; humans are only natural host |
syphilitic reagin | nonspecific antibody for syphilis; can be detected by VDRL and RPR |
treponemal antibody | specific antibody that requires more difficult but more accurate tests: FTA and MHATP |
primary syphilis | main lesion is a chancre on average 3 weeks after exposure; {serologic tests are usually positive by weeks 4-6} |
secondary syphilis | generalized lymph node enlargement with widespread mucocutaneous lesions, even on palms and soles; {all serologic tests are now positive} |
mucous patches | localized spongiotic mucositis, in mouth and vagina; seen in secondary syphilis |
condyloma lata | large, broad plaques in moist areas of skin |
tertiary syphilis | occurs in 1/3 of untreated syphilis patients after 5+ years; manifests in CNS and CV systems (aorta) -{this stage is much less infectious} -{nonspecific tests are negative but treponema antibody tests are positive for life} |
tabes dorsalis | spinal cord atrophy that produces loss of sensory feedback and ataxia |
Argyll-Robertson pupil | small pupils that are unresponsive to light due to optic nerve atrophy |
gumma | rubbery gray-white areas of necrosis, even in palate; from hypersensitivity to spirochete products and ischemia |
congenital syphilis | syphilis that is transmitted through the placenta: stillbirth, infantile and late (tardive) types |
infantile syphilis | infants that are born with or quickly develop secondary syphilitic lesions |
late (tardive) congenital syphilis | untreated congenital syphilis for 2 years: saber shins, saddle nose, mulberry molars |
Hutchinson triad | in congenital syphilis: interstitial keratitis, Hutchinson incisors and 8th nerve deafness |
gonorrhea | caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae- a Gram negative diplococcus; produces copious pus and is easily cultured |

neonatal herpes | HSV infection of newborn that is often fatal |
human papillomavirus (HPV) | cause of epithelial proliferations in genital tract |
condyloma acuminatum | caused by HPV 6 and 11 on mucocutaneous surfaces; malignant transformation is uncommon |

vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) | precedes vulvar carcinoma, exhibits all degrees of dysplasia to Bowen disease |
vaginitis | inflammation of the vagina, often Candida albicans |
cervicitis | inflammation of the cervix, extremely common; may lead to cancer with HPVs |
cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) | dysplasia that is a precursor to cervical carcinoma, typically asymptomatic |
low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) | dysplasia that should be carefully observed but most regress |
high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) | dysplasia that should be surgically excised, 10% progress to cancer |
menorrhagia | profuse or prolonged bleeding of uterus |
metrorrhagia | irregular bleeding between periods |

leiomyosarcomas | malignant tumors of smooth muscle, arise de novo and don't usually transform from leiomyomas |
ovarian carcinoma | wide variety of types of this cancer |
ectopic pregnancy | implantation of fertilized egg in any site other than the uterus, often in oviducts |
gestational trophoblastic disease | tumors that arise in cells that make the placenta that can be left after abortive pregnancy or following birth |
