Rare vulvar lesions: A case series

@#Mass of the vulva include both benign and malignant lesions. Benign mass lesions of the vulva include tumors, hamartomas, cysts, infectious disorders, and non-neoplastic epithelial disorders. Some are rare mass lesions. Here, we presented three rare mass lesions of the vulva. The first case presented with the complaint of vulvar lesion since childhood, while the two cases presented in reproductive age and perimenopausal age. All three cases presented as mass lesions in the vulva with pain or uneasiness during work. In all these cases, excision was done. On histopathological examination, the lesions have different diagnoses which are common in other parts of the body, but rarely present at the vulva. A definitive diagnosis of a vulvar mass lesion is difficult to make, especially in the case of rare mass lesion. Histopathology is the principal tool of diagnosis.

Standardization techniques for soil mixture ratio and sowing depth in medicinal plants of Thar desert, India

The growth characteristics of three important medicinal plants of Thar desert, viz. Asparagus racemosus, Eclipta alba and Solanum surattense have been studied under different sowing depths and soil mixture ratios. Sowing depth of 1.0 cm and 1:1:1 soil mixture ratio [sand: clay: FYM] shows highest tuber yield in A. racemosus. However, sowing depth of 0.5 cm was suitable for both E. alba and S. surattense. The growth parameters were maximum in soil mixtures of 1:1:1 and 2:2:1 for E. alba and S. surattense, respectively
