ABSTRACT

To determine the frequency of various histologic types of primary solid malignant neoplasms in males and females, in our practice, in a large series of surgical biopsies. A retrospective study of 20,000 consecutive surgical biopsies in the section of Histopathology, Aga Khan University Hospital [AKU], Karachi, in 2004. Squamous cell carcinoma of oral cavity was the commonest malignant neoplasm in males followed by diffuse Large B cell, Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and Prostatic adenocarcinoma. In females, infiltrating Ductal carcinoma of the breast was overwhelmingly the commonest malignant neoplasm followed by Squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity and esophagus. Out of 20,000 biopsies, there were 4616 [23.08%] malignant neoplasms. Carcinoma of oral cavity is very common in our population in both sexes

ABSTRACT

To determine in a large series of surgical biopsies, the frequency of various histologic types of primary solid malignant neoplasms in males and females in different age groups. A retrospective study of 20,000 consecutive surgical biopsies reposted in the section of histopathology, AKU in 2004. Malignant neoplasms are commonest in the fifth and sixth decades of life. The commonest malignant neoplasms in the first decade were Hodgkin's lymphoma and Wilm's tumor in males and females respectively. In the second decade, osteosarcoma in males and Ewing's sarcoma/PNET in females. In the third decade, colorectal adenocarcinoma in males and infiltrating Ductal carcinoma of breast in females. In the fourth decade, squamous cell carcinoma of oral cavity in males and infiltrating ductal carcinoma of breast in females. In the fifth decade squamous cell carcinoma of oral cavity in males and infiltrating ductal carcinoma of breast in females. In sixth decade, squamous cell carcinoma of oral cavity in males and infiltrating ductal carcinoma of breast in females and in the seventh decade, prostatic adenocarcinoma in males and infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the breast in females. Above age of 70 years, the commonest malignant were again prostatic adenocarcinoma in males and infiltrating ductal carcinoma of breast in females. Malignant neoplasms are commonest in the fourth, fifth and sixth decades of life

ABSTRACT

Subependymal giant cell astrocytomas [SEGAs] are slowly growing tumours corresponding to WHO grade I. They are intraventricular and usually occur in the setting of tuberous sclerosis complex. They often result in obstructive hydrocephalus. Treatment is usually restricted to surgical resection, recurrences are rare and long term prognosis is excellent. We present a series of three cases
