RESUMEN
Granulomatous inflammation is a common histological pattern encountered in skin biopsies which pose a diagnostic challenge to pathologists because of overlapping histological features produced by various aetiological agents. Pathologists come across the lesion frequently and through knowledge of Granulomatous lesions are very much essential to discriminate them from other lesions, in the skin as they closely mimic each other. Incidence and prevalence ofdifferent types of granulomatous dermatitis depend on geographical Location.AIMS AND OBJECTIVESTo know the types of different granulomatous dematoses, their prevalence and histopathological spectrum. MATERIAL AND METHOD A total of 1152 skin biopsies received from a period of January 2016 to October 2018 at Histopathology department of AMC MET Medical College, Ahmedabad. All specimens w e r e fixed in 10% formalin andprocessed by routine paraffin embedding technique. All specimens were stained with Hematoxylin and eosin stain & some special stains like 5% AFB and 20% AFB were used as required. Slides were examinedand histopathological diagnoses were given.
RESUMEN
The nasal cavity, para-nasal sinuses and nasopharynx form a functional unity that is reflected in the communality of the pathologic processes that involve the region. This is particularly the case for the first two components, which are often grouped under the term sinonasal. The two main types of epithelia lining these structures are stratified squamous and respiratory type pseudo-stratified columnar1. A wide array of neoplastic and non-neoplastic conditions present as a mass lesion2. Nasal polyps are polypoidal masses arising from mucus membranes of nose and para-nasal sinuses and are one of the most commonly encountered lesions in clinical practice3. The formation of nasal polyps is associated with recurrent attacks of rhinitis. They are focal protrusions of the mucosa which may reach 3-4 centimetres in length4. They are often bilateral and multiple, which lead to visible broadening of nose. These lesions affect males predominantly in 3:1 ratio1. Histopathological analysis helps to distinguish the nature of these lesions and thereby its management and prognostication.
RESUMEN
Background: Menstrual disturbance is one of the commonest gynecological problems for the curettage or hysterectomy specimen received by pathologist. During reproductive age group, approximately 9-30% of women suffer from menorrhagia or abnormal uterine bleeding & the incidence increases as age advances. Being most common gynecological problem, present study is aimed to know full spectrum of AUB and its pathological aspects. Methods: 200 cases were taken from NHL Municipal Medical College, Ahmedabad over a period of 3 years. Clinical history and radiological findings of cases of abnormal uterine bleeding were noted. Histopathological analysis was done. Data were analyzed and correlation between clinical and histopathological findings were studied. Results: Maximum numbers of patients were in 41-50 years (41.5%) of age group and next are in 31-40 years (38%) of age group. Proliferative pattern (24%) was most common pattern in non-structural causes of AUB and Leiomyoma (22.5%) was the most common structural cause of AUB. Pregnancy related causes of AUB were common in less than 40 years of age group. Malignancy was more common in more than 50 years of age group. Atrophic endometrium (33.33%) was the most common cause of post-menopausal bleeding. Conclusion: Endometrial specimen examination by histopathological evaluation is gold standard procedure to know the exact pathology for AUB and for further management of patients.[Falguni S NJIRM 2016; 7(5):14-17]
RESUMEN
A 50 year old female had a myxoid liposarcoma of left thigh that was widely excised. After three years, she presented with a soft tissue mass in right hypochondriac region, which was diagnosed as myxoid liposarcoma on fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and was confirmed histologically.
