ABSTRACT
penetrating keratoplasty was done.Isolated stromal graft rejection was noticed 3 weeks after penetrating keratoplasty,which was confirmed on histopathology.Repeat penetrating keratoplasty 6 months later also had same fate.Diagnosis and management of isolated stromal graft rejection is a very challenging situation.
ABSTRACT
Tumors of the ureter are rare. We present a case of primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the ureter diagnosed as chronic pyelonephritis preoperatively. This tumor is postulated to arise from metaplastic glandular mucosa in response to chronic irritation of the urothelium

Follicular adenomas of the thyroid may be subjected to degenerative changes like hemorrhagic and cystic changes, fibrosis, and calcification. Mature bone formation is a rare phenomenon, but extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) has also been rarely reported in thyroid gland. The combination of mature bone formation and EMH is rarer and has been reported, in a single case report, in a multinodular goitre. We describe a case of follicular adenoma with histologically proven osseous metaplasia and mature bone formation with EMH in a middle- aged woman, which, to our knowledge, is the first case in English language literature.
ABSTRACT
Primary splenic lymphoma is a rare disease. It can be defined as a lymphomatous process involving the spleen alone or the spleen and splenic lymph nodes. These lymphomas are usually of non-Hodgkin's type, originating from B-cells. The criteria used for primary splenic lymphoma includes primary symptoms due to splenomegaly, no lymphadenopathy or liver involvement and an interval of 6 months or longer between the detection of splenic involvement and appearance of lymphoma elsewhere. We report a case of a 37-year old female patient who presented with loss of weight and heaviness on the left side of abdomen for duration of 6 months. Splenectomy was performed which revealed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, B-cell type localized to spleen and splenic hilar lymph nodes
