A cystoscopy reveals lumps from the epithelium cell membrane of the bladder. Microscopic urinalysis confirms malignancy and blood in urine. The patient is also being treated for a urinary tract infection (UTI).
Which condition is described?
Bladder carcinoma
Renal cell carcinoma
Papillary cell carcinoma.
Uterine carcinoma
The Correct Answer is A
A. Bladder carcinoma: A cystoscopy is a procedure used to visualize the inside of the bladder. Finding lumps in the bladder epithelium (lining) combined with confirmed malignancy (cancer) and hematuria (blood in urine) specifically defines bladder cancer.
B. Renal cell carcinoma: This refers to cancer of the kidney. While it causes blood in the urine, the tumors would be found in the kidney via ultrasound or CT, not on the bladder wall during a cystoscopy.
C. Papillary cell carcinoma: While this is a common type of bladder cancer, "Bladder carcinoma" is the more direct diagnosis for a tumor found specifically in the bladder.
D. Uterine carcinoma: This is cancer of the uterus (womb). It is diagnosed via pelvic exam or biopsy of the uterine lining, not a cystoscopy of the urinary bladder.

Correct Answer is C
Explanation
A. Cerebral aneurysm: An aneurysm is a weakened blood vessel wall; it typically presents with a sudden, severe headache if it ruptures, not chronic motor symptoms.
B. Multiple sclerosis: While MS affects gait, its hallmark is demyelination leading to various sensory and motor deficits, but not the specific "pill-rolling" tremors or bradykinesia seen here.
C. Parkinson disease: The classic "triad" of Parkinson's is tremors at rest, bradykinesia (slow movement), and rigidity/abnormal gait. Deep brain stimulation is a standard surgical treatment for advanced Parkinson's.
D. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS): ALS involves the death of motor neurons leading to muscle wasting and weakness, but it does not typically present with the resting tremors characteristic of Parkinson's.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
A. Erectile dysfunction: A sexual dysfunction related to blood flow or nerve issues, not a transmissible infection.

C. Chancroid: This is a bacterial STI caused by Haemophilus ducreyi that results in painful genital ulcers and swollen lymph nodes.
D. Orchitis: Inflammation of the testicles, which can be caused by the mumps virus or as a complication of an STI, but it is a condition/symptom, not the name of the STI itself.
