HTHSCI 2F03 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Humerus, Avascular Necrosis, Allodynia
Testicular Tumours
Epidemiology
Commonest male malignancies from 15-44yrs
Whites > Blacks = 5:1
Presentation
Painless testicular lump
Often noticed after trauma
Haematospermia
2
O hydrocele
Mets: SOB from lung mets
Abdo mass: para-aortic lymphadenopathy
Hormones: gynaecomastia, virilisation
Contralateral tumour in 5%
Risk Factors
Undescended testis
10% occur in undescended testes
Infant hernia
Infertility
Pathology
Germ Cell: 95% of tumours
Pure Seminomas: 40%
Commonest single subtype
30-40yrs
↑ βhCG in 15%
↑ placental ALP in some
Very radiosensitive
Non-seminomas (inc.mixed): 60%
Mixed: commonest NSGCT
Teratoma
Arise from all 3 germ layers
Common and benign in children
Rare and malignant in adults: 15-30yrs
Secrete βhCG and/or AFP
Chemosensitive
Yolk Sac
Commonest testicular tumour in children
Choriocarcinoma
↑↑ βhCG
Sex-cord Stromal
Leydig Cell
Mostly benign
May secrete androgens or oestrogens
Sertoli Cell
Mostly benign
May secrete oestrogens
Lymphoma / Leukaemia
NHL: commonest malignant testicular mass >60yrs
ALL: commonest malignant testicular mass <5yrs
Staging: Royal Marsden Classification
1. Disease only in testis
2. Para-aortic nodes involved (below diaphragm)
3. Supra- and infra-diaphragmatic LNs involved
4. Extra-lymphatic spread: lungs, liver
Ix
Tumour markers
Useful for monitoring
↑AFP and ↑hCG in 90% of teratomas
↑hCG in 15% of seminomas
Normal AFP in pure seminomas
Scrotum US
Staging
CXR
CT
NB. Percutaneous biopsy should not be performed as it may
→ seeding along needle tract
Mx
If both testes are abnormal, semen can be
cryopreserved
Seminomas
Stage 1-2: inguinal orchidectomy + radiotherapy
Groin incision allows cord clamping to prevent
seeding
Stage 3-4: as above + chemo (BEP)
Bleomycin, Etoposide, cisPlatin
Non-seminomas / Teratomas
Stage 1: inguinal orchidectomy + surveillance
Stage 2: orchidectomy + chemo + para-aortic LN
dissection
Stage 3: orchidectomy + chemo
Close f/up to detect relapse
Typically w/i 18-24mo
Repeat CT scanning and tumour markers
Prognosis
Stage 1: 98% 5ys
Stage 2: 85% 5ys
Stage 4: 60% 5ys

The Penis
Balanitis
Acute inflammation of the foreskin and glans
Cause: Strep, staph infection, Candida (DM)
RFs: DM, young children c
¯ tight foreskin
Rx: hygiene advice, Abx, circumcision
Phimosis
Foreskin occludes the meatus
Children
Pres: recurrent balanitis and ballooning
Mx: Gentle retraction, steroid creams, circumcision
Adults
Pres: dyspareunia, infection
Mx: circumcision
Assoc. c
¯ balanitis xerotica obliterans: thickening of
foreskin and glans → phimosis + meatal narrowing
Paraphimosis
Tight foreskin is retracted and becomes irreplaceable.
↓ venous return → oedema and swelling of the glans
Can rarely → glans ischaemia
Causes: catheterisation, masturbation, intercourse
Mx:
Manual reduction: use ice and lignocaine jelly
May require glans aspiration or dorsal slit
Hypo- / epi-spadias
Developmental abnormality of the position of the urethral
opening
Hypospadia: opens on ventral surface of penis
Epispadia: opens on dorsal surface
Penile Cancer
Epidemiology
Incidence: 1:100,000/yr in UK
Geo: commoner in Far East and Africa
Aetiology
V. rare if circumcised
Risk factors
HPV (16, 18, 31) infection
Chronic irritation 2O to smegma
Pathology
Erythroplasia of Querat: penile CIS
SCC
Presentation
Chronic fungating ulcer
Bloody / purulent discharge
50% have inguinal nodes at presentation
Mx
Medical
Early growths c
¯ no urethral involvement
DXT and iridium wires
Surgical
Amputation required if urethral involvement
Lymph node dissection

Document Summary
Staging: royal marsden classification: disease only in testis, para-aortic nodes involved (below diaphragm, supra- and infra-diaphragmatic lns involved, extra-lymphatic spread: lungs, liver. Afp and hcg in 90% of teratomas. Percutaneous biopsy should not be performed as it may. If both testes are abnormal, semen can be cryopreserved. Groin incision allows cord clamping to prevent seeding. Stage 3-4: as above + chemo (bep) Stage 2: orchidectomy + chemo + para-aortic ln dissection. Acute inflammation of the foreskin and glans.
