Which malignancy most commonly metastasizes to the testes?

  1. Prostate cancer
  2. Bladder cancer
  3. Hodgkin lymphoma
  4. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Testicular metastases are rare and usually identified in older patients. The most frequent primary site of malignancies metastasizing to the testes is the prostate. Studies (Ulbright and Young, 2008; Mosharafa et al., 2003) indicate that prostatic adenocarcinoma accounts for the highest number of testicular metastases, with lung and gastrointestinal tract malignancies also contributing less frequently. These metastases can be unilateral or bilateral and are often discovered incidentally during surgical intervention for prostate cancer.

The metastatic route involves retrograde venous extension, arterial embolism, or lymphatic dissemination. Histologically, prostatic adenocarcinoma in the testis can be confirmed via immunohistochemical markers like prostate-specific antigen (PSA), supporting its prostatic origin.

Which condition is a cause of intrahepatic dilatation with a normal common bile duct?

  1. Portal vein thrombus
  2. Tumor at the porta hepatis
  3. Choledocholithiasis
  4. Acute pancreatitis

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Intrahepatic biliary dilatation with a normal common bile duct (CBD) is typically caused by obstruction located at or above the level of the hepatic duct confluence. A tumor at the porta hepatis, such as cholangiocarcinoma (Klatskin tumor), is a classic cause of this pattern. The porta hepatis is the site where the right and left hepatic ducts join to form the common hepatic duct. A mass at this location can obstruct the intrahepatic ducts while leaving the distal CBD unaffected and of normal caliber.

By contrast:

Portal vein thrombus (A) affects vascular flow but does not directly obstruct bile ducts.

Choledocholithiasis (C) obstructs the CBD, typically resulting in both intrahepatic and extrahepatic duct dilatation.

Acute pancreatitis (D) may cause distal CBD compression if there is associated inflammation or pseudocyst formation, but typically results in extrahepatic duct dilatation rather than isolated intrahepatic dilation.

Which sonographic finding indicates the need for immediate surgical intervention following testicular trauma?

  1. Intratesticular hematoma
  2. Discontinuity of the tunica albuginea
  3. Heterogeneity of the testicular parenchyma
  4. Increased testicular vascularity

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The tunica albuginea is a dense fibrous capsule surrounding the testis. Discontinuity of the tunica albuginea on ultrasound is diagnostic of testicular rupture -- a urologic emergency that requires immediate surgical repair to preserve testicular function and viability. Early surgical intervention within 72 hours has a high success rate for testicular salvage (up to 90%).

Intratesticular hematoma (A) may be managed conservatively if the tunica albuginea is intact.

Heterogeneity of the parenchyma (C) indicates injury but not necessarily rupture.

Increased vascularity (D) may be seen with inflammation or reperfusion but does not mandate surgery unless rupture is present.

What is the most common location of a pancreatic pseudocyst?

  1. Lesser sac
  2. Left anterior pararenal space
  3. Right subdiaphragmatic space
  4. Left pericolic gutter

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Pancreatic pseudocysts most commonly develop in the lesser sac, which lies between the posterior wall of the stomach and the anterior surface of the pancreas. This space allows for the accumulation of pancreatic fluid collections following pancreatitis or pancreatic ductal disruption.

The left anterior pararenal space (B) is a secondary location.

The right subdiaphragmatic space (C) and left pericolic gutter (D) are less common sites.

Which condition is most likely in a patient presenting with weight loss and fatigue along with elevated liver enzymes, elevated potassium, and decreased sodium?

  1. Addison disease
  2. Conn syndrome
  3. Acute pancreatitis
  4. Hepatocellular carcinoma

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Addison disease (primary adrenal insufficiency) results in insufficient production of cortisol and aldosterone. The hallmark laboratory findings include:

Hyponatremia (low sodium)

Hyperkalemia (high potassium)

Elevated liver enzymes (due to nonspecific hepatic involvement)

Fatigue, weight loss, and hypotension are common clinical features.

Conn syndrome (B) causes hyperaldosteronism, leading to hypokalemia (not hyperkalemia).

Acute pancreatitis (C) would typically show elevated amylase/lipase.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (D) may present with elevated liver enzymes but not the electrolyte pattern described.

Which renal condition is commonly associated with pyuria and leukocytosis?

  1. Nephrocalcinosis
  2. Staghorn calculus
  3. Renal cell carcinoma
  4. Acute pyelonephritis

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Acute pyelonephritis is a bacterial infection of the renal parenchyma and collecting system. Classic clinical findings include fever, flank pain, leukocytosis (elevated white blood cells), and pyuria (white blood cells in urine). Ultrasound may demonstrate renal enlargement, decreased echogenicity, and loss of corticomedullary differentiation.

Nephrocalcinosis (A) involves calcium deposition without infection.

Staghorn calculus (B) may lead to infection but is primarily characterized by obstructive uropathy.

Renal cell carcinoma (C) presents with hematuria and mass formation rather than infection symptoms.

Which arterial branches lie at the base of the renal pyramids?

  1. Segmental
  2. Interlobar
  3. Arcuate
  4. Interlobular

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The arcuate arteries are located at the corticomedullary junction, arching over the base of the renal pyramids. They form as the interlobar arteries reach the boundary between the cortex and medulla. The arcuate arteries give rise to the interlobular arteries, which supply the renal cortex.

Segmental arteries (A) branch directly from the renal artery.

Interlobar arteries (B) course between the renal pyramids.

Interlobular arteries (D) extend into the cortex from the arcuate arteries.

Which condition is a common cause of biliary duct obstruction?

  1. Tumor
  2. Cholecystitis
  3. Pneumobilia
  4. Hepatitis

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A tumor (such as cholangiocarcinoma, pancreatic head carcinoma, or metastases) is a common cause of biliary duct obstruction. It can compress or invade the bile ducts, leading to intrahepatic and extrahepatic duct dilatation.

Cholecystitis (B) typically affects the gallbladder but may rarely cause duct obstruction if complicated.

Pneumobilia (C) refers to air in the biliary tree, not obstruction.

Hepatitis (D) causes liver inflammation but not mechanical biliary obstruction.

there is an incorrect word in the problem statement. for example, in question 1, there is the word "speci c". this is "specific. in the other question, there is the word "noti cation". this is "notification. these mistakes make this site difficult for me to use.

q47: intrusion prevention system is the correct answer, not patch management. by definition, there are no patches available for a zero-day vulnerability. the way to prevent an attacker from exploiting a zero-day vulnerability is to use an ips.
