Ganglioneuromas (GNs) are rare benign tumors originating from the neural crest tissue. They are characteristically located in the posterior mediastinum and retroperitoneum; and are rarely found in the adrenal gland. GNs are usually hormonally inactive, and most of the cases are detected incidentally. We report a case of 25-year-old female who prese...

Background Nuclear size, shape, chromatin pattern, and nucleolar size and number have all been reported to change in breast cancer. Aim The aim of the study was to quantify nuclear changes on malignant breast aspirates using morphometry and to correlate the morphometric parameters with clinicopathologic features such as cytologic grade, tumor size,...

Objectives The primary objective of this study was to correlate nuclear morphometric parameters with clinicopathologic features such as cytologic grade, tumor size, lymph node status, mitotic index, and histopathologic grade. Secondary objective was to quantify nuclear changes on malignant breast aspirates using morphometry. Material and Methods Fo...

Pleomorphic adenoma, also called mixed tumor, is the most common benign tumor of the salivary glands that mostly occurs in the parotid or submandibular glands, but may also occur in the minor salivary glands that are distributed throughout the oral cavity. The common sites of pleomorphic adenoma of the minor salivary glands are the palates followed...

Introduction: HIV/AIDS is a disorder which affects multiple systems in our body but ophthalmic manifestations do occur in 70-80% of patients sometime during their lifetime. Eye is affected either directly by HIV virus or indirectly through various opportunistic infections. HIV related ophthalmic manifestations are wide and can affect any part of e...

Background: Objective was to study the histopathological spectrum of heart diseases in autopsy specimens, that play a major role as cause of death.Methods: During the period from October 2015 to October 2017. Total 170 medicolegal autopsies were received during this period. Out of 170, specimens of heart were 150. Nine specimens were autolyzed. So,...

Metastatic deposits in skull bones from follicular thyroid carcinoma is rare, and metastatic disease in skull being the presenting symptom without obvious thyroid lesion (occult primary) is even rarer. A 60-year-old female patient presented with a mass in the frontal region of the skull. Fine needle aspiration cytology was done which revealed an ad...

Objective: Pancytopenia is a clinicohematological prob­lem with wide spread discriminated diagnosis. A through evaluation of patient is necessary to identify the cause as large number of patients has reversible etiology and early diagnosis may be lifesaving. Diagnosis of pancyto­penia requires microscopic examination of bone marrow aspirates to ass...

Granular cell tumor (GCT) is a rare tumor affecting the middle-aged people with an incidence of 0.017–0.029%. In 1926, Abrikossoff was the first to describe this tumor as myoblastoma as it was arising from muscle in the tongue. Common sites are the tongue, skin, and subcutaneous tissue. Here in, a 29-year-old female presented with a swelling on the...

Background and objectives: Immunohistochemistry (IHC) has become an important tool in the diagnosis of metastatic brain tumors. The judicious use of a panel of selected immunostains is unquestionably helpful in diagnostically challenging cases. In our study, the best combination of immune markers useful in differentiating metastatic carcinoma from...

Muscular dystrophy connotes a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders characterized by progressive wasting and weakness of the skeletal muscles. In several forms of muscular dystrophy, cardiac dysfunction occurs, and cardiac disease may even be the predominant manifestation of the underlying genetic myopathy. We present a case of progressive mus...

Mesenteric teratomas are extremely rare in children. We report a case of 5-year-old girl with abdominal mass and fever. At operation, a multicystic mass with variable consistency found within the leaves of the mesentery of jejunum with pus in it. Histopathology examination showed mature infected teratoma of the mesentery.

Fatty tumours of the uterus are exceedingly rare. Lipoleiomyoma of the uterus is a rare benign uterine tumour thought to be a variation of leiomyoma. The presence of fatty tissue in the myometrium is anomalous, interpreted as lipomatous degeneration, smooth muscle metaplasia or as a benign tumour called as lipoleiomyoma. Imaging can play an importa...

Extraosseous Ewing's sarcoma (EES) is a rare soft tissue tumour of neuroectodermal origin and is indistinguishable from its bony counterpart. The most common sites of involvement are the soft tissue of the extremities and thorax. EES of abdominal wall an extremely uncommon site of involvement is reported here. We report a case of 27 years male pres...

Meningioma is a tumour most commonly located intracranially that may rarely extend extra-cranially. Ectopic meningioma presenting as parapharyngeal mass is a rare entity. We report a case of an 18-year-old female who presented with a complaint of swelling below the right angle of mandible associated with difficulty in swallowing for the last 3 mont...

Teratomas are the benign tumours, which may occur anywhere in the body. Development of these lesions in the oral cavity is extremely rare. In the oral cavity, they usually arise in the midline, in the floor of mouth. Infrequently, they may be seen in the tongue proper. We hereby, present a case of swelling tongue in 56 years female diagnosed as ter...

Gastrointestinal tract duplications are rare and uncommon congenital anomalies found in about 0.2% of the children. Most of the cases are detected either antenatal or within the first two years of life. The clinical presentation depends on location, size, presence of ectopic gastric mucosa within the duplication, communication with the adjacent bow...
