9/26/16, 1:06 PM
genital warts (condylomata acuminata)
What is the following presentation

suggestive of: single or multiple papules
or plaques of variable shapes; may be
round, acuminate (or pointed), or thin and
slender; may be raised, flat, or
cauliflowerlike (verrucous); can arise on
penis, scrotum, groin, thighs, or anus;
usually asymptomatic, occasionally cause
itching and pain; may disappear without

warts?
weeks to months after exposure
What is the incubation period for genital

warts?
genital herpes simplex -- *need to

distinguish from genital herpes zoster
(usually in older pts with dermatomal
distribution) and candidiasis

suggestive of: small scattered or grouped
vesicles, 1 to 3 mm in size, on glans or
shaft of penis; appear as erosions if
vesicular membrane breaks; primary
episode may be asymptomatic;
recurrence usually less painful, of shorter
duration; a/w fever, malaise, headache,
arthralgias; local pain and edema,
lymphadenopathy?
herpes simplex virus 2 (90%)
What is the causative organism of genital

herpes simplex?
2-7 days after exposure
What is the incubation period for genital

herpes simplex?
Page 5 of 10
9/26/16, 1:06 PM
primary syphilis -- *need to distinguish

from genital herpes simplex, chancroid,
granuloma inguinale from Klebsiella
granulomatis (rare in the US)

suggestive of: small red papule that
becomes a chancre, or painless erosion,
up to 2 cm in diameter; base of chancre is
clean, red, smooth, and glistening;
borders are raised and indurated; chancre
heals within 3-8 weeks; may develop
inguinal lymphadenopathy within 7 days;
lymph nodes are rubbery, nontender,
mobile?
Treponema pallidum, a spirochete
What is the causative organism of primary

syphilis?
9-90 days after exposure
What is the incubation period of primary

syphilis?
chancroid -- *need to distinguish from

primary syphilis, genital herpes simplex,
lymphomogranuloma venereum,
granuloma inguinale from Klebsiella
granulomatous (both rare in the US)

suggestive of: red papule or pustule
initially, then forms a painful deep ulcer
with ragged nonindurated margins;
contains necrotic exudate, has a friable
base; painful inguinal adenopathy;
supperative buboes in 25% of pts?
hypospadias

suggestive of: a congenital displacement
of the urethral meatus to the inferior
surface of the penis; a groove extends
from the actual urethral meatus to its
normal location on the tip of the glans?
scrotal edema

suggestive of: pitting edema may make
the scrotal skin taut; seen in heart failure
or nephrotic syndrome?
Page 6 of 10
9/26/16, 1:06 PM
Peyronie's disease

suggestive of: palpable, nontender, hard
plaques are found just beneath the skin,
usually along the dorsum of the penis; the
pt complains of crooked, painful
erections?
hydrocele
What is the following presentations

suggestive of: a nontender, fluid-filled
mass within the tunica vaginalis; it
transilluminates, and the examining fingers
can get above the mass within the
scrotum?
carcinoma of the penis

suggestive of: an indurated nodule or
ulcer that is usually nontender; limited
almost completely to men who are not
circumcised, it may be masked by the
prepuce; any persistent penile sore is
suspicious?
scrotal hernia

suggestive of: usually an indirect inguinal
hernia, that comes through the external
inguinal ring, so the examining fingers
cannot get above it within the scrotum?
cryptorchidism

suggestive of: the testis is atrophied and
may lie in the inguinal canal or the
abdomen, resulting in an unfilled scrotum;
there is no palpable left/right testis or
epididymis; markedly raises the risk for
testicular cancer?
Klinefelter's syndrome
What is a condition that may result in

small, firm testes?
Page 7 of 10
9/26/16, 1:06 PM
cirrhosis, myotonic dystrophy, use of

estrogens, hypopituitarism; may also
follow orchitis
What are conditions that may cause small,

soft testes suggesting atrophy?
orchitis

suggestive of: testis is acutely inflamed,
painful, tender, and swollen; it may be
dicult to distinguish from the epididymis;
seen in mumps and other viral infections;
usually unilateral?
tumor of the testis
What is the following condition suggestive

of: usually appears initially with a painless
nodule in the testis; as it progresses and
spreads, it may seem to replace the entire
organ; characteristically feels heavier than
normal
spermatocele (contains sperm) or

epididymal cyst (does not contain sperm)
-- clinically indistinguishable

suggestive of: a painless, moveable cystic
mass just above the testis that
transilluminates; +/- sperm-containing?
acute epididymitis

suggestive of: acutely inflamed structure
that is tender and swollen and may be
dicult to distinguish from the testis;
scrotum may be reddened and vas
deferens inflamed; occurs chiefly in adults,
most commonly with Chlamydia infection;
coexisting UTI or prostatitis supports the
diagnosis
tuberculous epididymitis

suggestive of: chronic inflammation of TB
produces a firm enlargement of this
structure, which is sometimes tender, with
thickening or beading of the vas
deferens?
Page 8 of 10
9/26/16, 1:06 PM
varicocele of the spermatic cord

suggestive of: varicose veins of this
structure, usually found on the left; feels
like a soft "bag of worms" separate from
the testis, and slowly collapses when the
scrotum is elevated in the supine pt;
infertility may be a/w this?
torsion of the spermatic cord

suggestive of: acutely painful, tender and
swollen organ that is retracted upward in
the scrotum; scrotum becomes red and
edematous; no associated urinary
infection; most common in adolescents;
surgical emergency due to obstructed
circulation?

suggestive of: all ages, most common
type, seen in both sexes; often in children,
may be in adults; point of origin above the
internal inguinal ligament, near its
midpoint (internal inguinal ring); often into
the scrotum; comes down and touches
the inguinal canal and touches the
fingertip?

suggestive of: less common type, usually
seen in men over 40, rare in women; point
of origin above the inguinal ligament,
close to the pubic tubercle (near the
external inguinal ring); rarely into the
scrotum; bulges anteriorly and pushes the
side of the finger forward?
Page 9 of 10
9/26/16, 1:06 PM
femoral hernia

suggestive of: least common type, more
common in women than men; point of
origin below the inguinal ligament;
appears more lateral than an inguinal
hernia; can be hard to dierentiate from
lymph nodes; never into the scrotum;
inguinal canal is empty?
Psychogenic causes such as depression,

endocrine dysfunction, or side eects of
medications
What are causes of lack of libido?
