ABSTRACT
Background: This study was conducted in the Department of Pathology, GMC Patiala on 100 patients over period of three years with the objective to study the comparison of the bone marrow aspiration and bone marrow trephine biopsy in haematological and non-haematological disorders in elderly age patients.(Age >50years). Methods: 100 cases with different hematological and non-hematological problems were taken up for the present study with age >50 years. Salah”s bone marrow aspiration needle and Jamshidi’s bone marrow biopsy needle were used to collect the samples. For staining Leishmann’s and H&E stains were used. Results: Majority of the cases were in the age of 50-60. Majority of haematological disorders comprised of anaemia (62%), leukemia(17.7%), multiple myeloma (7.5%), primary myelofibrosis(2.5%), myeloproliferative disorders(2.5%), hypocellular marrow (2.5%), increased eoisinophils and precurcors(1.2%), NHL (1.2%) lymphocytosis(1.2%) and plasmacytosis (1.2%). Both of the 2 cases of non-haematological disorders were of metastatic carcinomatous deposists. Conclusion: The bone marrow aspiration and trephine biopsy were comparative in most of the haematological disorders except in primary and secondary myelofibrosis where biopsy provided clue to the diagnosis. Non-haematological disorders showed the same findings.
ABSTRACT
Background: Implantation of blastocyst anywhere else, other than uterine cavity is considered as ectopic pregnancy. About 95% of ectopic pregnancies are implanted in the various segments of fallopian tube. Fertilization takes place in the lumen of fallopian tube, from where, aided by the ciliated columnar epithelium of the tube, the fertilized ovum makes its way to the uterine cavity and the implantation occurs. Methods: A study was carried out on 50 patients in the department of pathology, GMC Patiala.to the compare the histopathological and anatomical changes in the lining of the fallopian tube. Results: The routine Haematoxylin and Eosin stain was done and the histopathological study was done. Conclusion: It was concluded that early diagnosis and treatment before rupture still remains the main option of management.
ABSTRACT
Papillary squamotransitional cell carcinoma is an uncommon histopathological variant of squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix, which occurs in postmenopausal women. A 45-year-old woman presented in the gynae OPD with history of postmenopausal vaginal bleeding with cauliflower like growth in the cervix .Patient was examined and biopsy was taken from the growth which reveal the diagnosis of papillary transitional cell carcinoma cervix on histopathology.
