Adrenocortical Carcinoma - A Case Report

Introduction : A dermoid cyst (also called as “mature teratoma”) is a sac like growth that may be present at birth. It contains structures such as hair, fluid, teeth or skin glands that can be found on or in the skin. In some cases;especially in ovary it also contains thyroid or brain tissue. Ovarian dermoid cysts, which not uncommonly found in both ovaries can develop in a women in her reproductive years. The word “teratoma” is derived from the Greek word “teraton” meaning monster. The term dermoid cyst was coined by Leblanc in 1831.

A Case of Bilateral Ovarian Dermoid Cysts

Introduction : Malignant melanoma very rarely involves breast in contrast to skin and mucous membrane. Malignant melanoma of breast can be either primary or metastatic lesion. Primary lesion frequently involves skin and less commonly the glandular parenchyma. We report a case of primary malignant melanoma arose from breast in view of absent primary melanoma lesion elsewhere in body. This case report aims to augment awareness of this rare entity.

Sweet's Syndrome - An Interesting Skin lesion

Introduction : Sweet's Syndrome(SS) also known as "Acute Febrile Neutrophilic Dermatosis" is classified as a neutrophilic dermatosis based on its chief clinico-pathological findings - sudden onset of painful, erythematous, edematous skin lesions (papules, plaques and nodules), with infiltration of mature neutrophils in dermis. We present a case of 41 years old female patient, who came to Sheth V.S General Hospital, Ahmedabad with chief complaints of multiple erythematous papular skin lesions over elbows, knees and back since 8 days. Laboratory investigations were done and punch biopsy was performed from the skin lesion and sent for histopathological examination; which revealed basal cell vacuolization of the epidermis and dense nodular perivascular neutrophilic infiltration, with prominent edema of upper dermis.

A Case of Glioblastoma Multiforme in a Known Case of Breast Carcinoma

Introduction : Adrenocortical carcinomas are very rare but highly aggressive tumors, accounting for 0.05 to 0.2% of all malignancies (1-2 cases per million population).Adrenocortical carcinomas have a bimodal age distribution, a small peak in first two decades and a larger one in fifth decade. While facing adrenocortical carcinomas, main 3 issues are: (i) To differentiate adrenocortical primaries from metastases and other primary tumors of adrenal, (ii)To distinguish adenoma from carcinoma and (iii)To predict clinical behavior.
