ABSTRACT
@#Tonsillectomy is among the most commonly performed operations in children. Although follicular lymphoid hyperplasia is usually the main and only pathologic finding at microscopic examination, a variety of other rare but important pathologic changes may be encountered. This review aims to provide an inclusive practical resource and reference for both training and practising pathologists. It discusses the spectrum of pathologic findings, including both neoplastic and non-neoplastic conditions and provides illustrative images.

ABSTRACT
To evaluate the effect of oral propranolol in the treatment of infantile peri-orbital and/ or orbital capillary hemangioma. We conducted a prospective study at Prince Rashid Bin Al Hassan military hospital between 5[th] of August 2012 and 29[th] of January 2013. Eleven patients with peri-orbital and/or orbital capillary hemangiomas were included in this study. All patients underwent complete ophthalmic examination. Capillary hemangiomas were assessed, reporting their size, location, extension, and effect on the surrounding structures. Follow up duration ranged from two to six months. The age of patients with peri-orbital and/ or orbital capillary hemangiomas ranged from three to 17 months with a mean of 7 +/- 4.92 months. Male: female ratio was 1: 1.75. The upper eyelid was involved in seven [64%] cases, all of them had ptosis, three [43%] had dystopia, one [14%] had imbrication, and one [14%] had squint. The lower eyelid was involved in two [18%] cases; one of them was associated with lower lip capillary hemangioma. Orbital involvement was seen in eight [73%] cases, six [75%] of them were associated with upper eyelid involvement and two [25%] with lower eyelid involvement. Concurrent extra-ocular localization of hemangiomas was present in five [45%] cases [one in lip, one in tongue, 2 in forehead, and one in cheek]. Duration of treatment ranged between one and 30 weeks with an average of 14.2 +/- 11.4 SD weeks. The dose of propranolol ranged between 1- 2 mg/kg with an average of 1.2 mg/kg and only one patient with upper eyelid and forehead extension needed 4 mg/kg. The color blanched in all patients after one week. The capillary hemangioma decreased in size after one week of treatment in two [18%] patients, and in all of them after one month. Complete regression of the hemangioma was seen in two [18%] cases one after two months and the other after 4 months of treatment. Five [45%] cases had astigmatism before the start of treatment [mean +/- SD, 0.9 +/- 0.379 D] diopters and improved to mean +/- SD, 0.56 +/- 0.586 D. Oral propranol can be used as a modality for therapy of infantile capillary hemangioma
ABSTRACT
This study was conducted to identify the frequency, clinical symptoms and risk-factors of adenomyosis in hysterectomy specimens in a sample of Jordanian women. A total of 138 hysterectomy specimen pathology reports were reviewed at Queen Alia Military Hospital and Prince Hashem Bin Al-Hussein Hospital during the period between January 2007 to December 2008. The patients were divided according to the histological diagnosis and this was related to demographic and clinical data collected from the records of these women. Adenomyosis was identified in 51 women [37% of cases]. Forty-eight of these women [94%] were in their forties [P>0.05], while 49 [96%] were multiparas [P<0.05]. Dysmenorrhoea, chronic pelvic pain and dyspareunia were statistically significant while menorrhagia wasn't. The histological diagnosis of fibroid uterus, in addition to adenomyosis was made in 22 women [P>0.05]. The mean age at hysterectomy was 47.3 years in women with adenomyosis and 51.4 years in women without the condition [P<0.05]. In the adenomyosis group, parity proved to have statistical significance while age, body mass index and smoking status weren't. Adenomyosis is a common finding in hysterectomy specimens. It is more common in multiparous women with dysmenorrhoea, chronic pelvic pain and dyspareunia
