RESUMO

Collision tumors have been reported in various organs like the gastrointestinal tract, lung, skin, adrenals, central nervous system, lymph nodes, uterus, but are rarely seen in the ovary. Collision tumors are two histologically distinct neoplasms in the same organ without any intermixture between them. Here we present a case of a collision tumor of the ovary represented by a mucinous cystadenoma and teratoma. It is imperative for a surgical pathologist to correctly diagnose the collision tumor components and differentiate them from mixed tumors as it will dictate the appropriate treatment based on the individual biological aggressiveness of each component.

RESUMO

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a malignant disease that is often diagnosed at a metastatic stage. The head and neck represent up to 3% of the metastatic RCC, and the paranasal sinus area is one of the least involved sites. Here, we introduce the case of a 74-year-old female patient who presented with a history of traumatic nasal bleed. A cranial computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging showed a fronto-ethmoidal mass with pachymeningeal involvement. A nasal biopsy from the paranasal sinuses was taken. On histopathological examination, metastatic clear cell carcinoma was the main hypothesis, which later was confirmed to be RCC on immunohistochemistry. On further radiological examination, an exophytic mass was depicted in the kidney's upper and middle pole. The patient had no renal complaints and was asymptomatic. Fronto-ethmoidal sinus is a rare site for metastatic RCC, especially in cases where the patient is asymptomatic. Early detection by keeping RCC metastasis as the differential diagnosis in such cases can lead to early treatment and improve the overall survival of the patient.

RESUMO

Soft tissue chondroma is a rare benign, slow growing tumor usually located in hand and foot. Scrotal chondroma is exceedingly rare; chondromas in the pelvic region have also been reported. However, chondroma occurring in the scrotal wall is extremely rare, and only a few cases have been reported worldwide. They should be differentiated from well‑differentiated chondrosarcoma. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of scrotal chondroma to be reported from India.

RESUMO

Lymphoid malignancies (LM) are a heterogeneous group of disorders that are broadly divided into Hodgkin disease (HD) and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL). Diagnosing lymphoid malignancies based on morphology in conjunction with immunohistochemistry (IHC) forms the basis of WHO classification and this has prognostic implications.With this background this study was designed thus including all the lymphoid malignancies both NHL and HD. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted at a tertiary centre in Uttarakhand and included a total of 116 cases of lymphoid malignancies. Of these 41 cases were of Hodgkin disease and 75 cases were of NHL. These cases were initially diagnosed on morphology employing Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) and special stains like Reticulin. Subsequently, a preliminary panel of monoclonal antibodies using CD3, CD15, CD20, CD30, and CD45 were employed. All the cases were then classified using WHO classification. Results: HD- Of the 41 cases of Hodgkin’s disease the commonest subtype was Nodular Sclerosis seen in 26 cases (48.78%). Reed Sternberg in reactive milieu is diagnostic of Hodgkin disease. In all cases except one Reed Sternberg cells exhibited positivity for both CD15 and CD30. NHL – Of the 75 cases of NHL an initial classification based on morphology was done. All the cases were classified according to International Working Formulation initially. Subsequently, IHC was employed using CD3, CD15, CD20 and CD45. The disease was then classified according to WHO classification and broadly divided into B or T cell types. B cell expression was seen in 60 cases (80%) and T cell expression in 15 cases (20%). The commonest B cell subtype was Diffuse Large B cell Lymphoma (26.4%).

RESUMO

Chordomas are malignant bone neoplasms that originate from embryonic notochordal remnants, and they affect the skull base and the spine1. The cervical spine chordoma extends rarely into retropharyngeal space. However, primary chordoma of retropharyngeal space with no involvement of axial skeleton is very rare. These tumours are called as extraosseous chordoma2. We present a rare case of a 36-year old male patient presenting with extraosseous retropharyngeal space chordoma with no bone involvement anywhere in the entire skeleton.

RESUMO

Introduction: Fine needle aspiration cytology (=FNAC) is most popular diagnostic aid in patients with lymphadenopathy. This paper proves it to be highly sensitive also. Materials and Methods: The study comprises 300 lymph node aspirates done at Shri Mahant Indiresh Hospital of SGRR Medical College during a period of two years from January 2009 to December 2010. Results: Cytology was unsatisfactory in 3.3% (n=3) cases; showed reactive non specific lymphadenitis in 41.7% (n=125) cases; tuberculosis in 31.7% (n=95) cases; primary lymphomas in 6.3% (n=19) cases and metastatic tumor in 10.7% (n=32) cases. Conclusion: FNAC is a very sensitive procedure in patients with lymphadenopathy; sensitivity of 96.7% reported in our study.

RESUMO

Lymphoid malignancies (LM) form an umbrella term comprising both Hodgkin Disease (HD) and Non Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL). A number of studies conducted in India and worldwide suggests that the disease exhibits similar pattern with contrasting regional variations. Examining regional variations is important as it may provide an insight to the etiological factor and pathogenesis of the disease. Aim: The aim of our study was to investigate the current pattern of lymphoid malignancies both HD and NHL in Uttarakhand and subsequently compare the results with other regions. Materials and Methods: We analyzed 116 cases of Lymphoid Malignancies that were reviewed over a period of 18 months. Both HD and NHL were diagnosed morphologically and then Immunohistochemistry (IHC) using CD3, CD15, CD20, CD30, and CD45 was employed to further subtype disease according to current WHO classification. Results: The lymphoid malignancies were further subdivided into HD and NHL. Nodular Sclerosis (NS) was the dominant subtype of HD in Uttarakhand (48.78%) and was comparable with results from other regions. Statistical analysis regarding distribution of various subtypes of HD in Uttarakhand and its comparison with three distinct geographical regions also showed p value < 0.241832 which was not statistically significant. However, amongst NHL Diffuse Large B cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) (54.66%) was the commonest subtype. Besides, a significant number of cases of Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (12%) were also observed. Furthermore, statistical analysis showed that the distribution of various subtypes of NHL in Uttarakhand when compared to three distinct geographical regions was statistically significant (P value < 0.002808). Conclusion: Geographic differences in the incidence and histologic subtypes of Lymphomas do exist.

RESUMO

D antigen is the most immunogenic antigen in the complex Rh blood group system discovered in the year 1939. There is a lot of polymorphism in its phenotype due to genetic heterogeneity. Certain mutations and /or deletions lead to a weak phenotype defined by decreased density of antigen sites which require the use of anti human globulin for detection. The need for detection of the weak D antigen was to prevent alloimmunization by this blood if transfused to a D negative patient especially to women in child bearing age group. This contention is however, controversial and not proven beyond doubt. Moreover, the use of potent monoclonal D typing antisera detects low density of weak D antigens thus obviating the use of anti human globulin. We have assessed the incidence of Rh negative and weak D blood groups in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand and reviewed the literature regarding the controversies in the clinical significance of weak D antigen.

RESUMO

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), infection has been linked to acute and chronic gastritis, non-ulcer-dyspepsia, peptic ulcer, gastric adenocarcinoma and gastric non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). The epithelial changes in H. pylori colonized gastric mucosa are easy to recognize in routine Haematoxylin & Eosin stained sections and are so distinctive that they can serve as a helpful histological indicator for the presence of H. pylori in gastric biopsies. The histopathology of seventy-five gastric biopsies showing colonization by H. pylori was studied. Histologically, the H. pylori colonized gastric epithelium showed characteristic changes that were topographically related to the bacteria. These changes included irregular surface, epithelial pits, individual cell dropout and microerosion, which were specific for H. pylori colonization. These were absent in areas not colonized by H. pylori and in 20 consecutive H. pylori negative gastric biopsies seen during the same study period. As specific treatment for H. pylori infection is available, identification of H. pylori colonization in gastric biopsies should be attempted in all cases of gastritis, peptic ulcers and non-ulcer-dyspepsia.

RESUMO

This hospital-based study seeks to find out the most common cancers amongst the patients attending Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences (HIMS), Dehradun, situated in Uttaranchal, which has inadequate health care facilities and low socio-economical status. In our study, of the 20,247 cases reported in the pathology department from July 1996 to Dec. 2003, 18.57% cases were malignant. Male to female ratio was 1.7:1.Top five cancers in males were those of lung, larynx, non-Hodgkins lymphoma, oesophagus & stomach. Top five cancers in females were those of breast, cervix, gall bladder, ovary & oesophagus. Tobacco and alcohol related cancers predominated in males. Skin and soft tissue cancers and were also common amongst both genders. Patients mostly reported with cancers in advanced stages, which could be attributed to poor medical facilities and health awareness in this region.

RESUMO

A total of 101 individuals who showed AS pattern on haemoglobin electrophoresis were included in this study and various haematological investigations were carried out on them. Of these, 79 cases were grouped as AS patients. Twenty two healthy relatives of sickle anemia patients were grouped as AS controls. Twenty AA controls were also included in this study. Haemoglobin S (HbS) and hemoglobin A (HbA) quantitation was carried out. The frequency distribution of HbS percentage showed that maximum subjects had HbS levels above 33%. A female predominance was seen in subjects of sickle cell trait. Haemoglobin levels and total red cell counts of AS patients were found to be significantly lower than those of AS controls. Reticulocyte counts and hematocrit values of AS patients were found to be significantly higher than AS controls. MCV and MCH values of AS patients were found to be significantly lower, but MCHC was not significantly altered.
