Plasma cell disorders are a rare group of hematological malignancies that accounts for 10% all neoplasms. Solitary plasmacytomas rarer entities accounting less than 5% the plasma dyscrasias. They encompass three subtypes - Plasmacytoma Bone (SPB) and Extramedullary (SEP) multiple solitary (MSP). In this study, we discuss clinical, histopathological immunohistochemical characteristics plasmacytomas.A 13 year retrospective analysis was performed from single tertiary care center. marrow...

The incidence of and mortality from colorectal cancers (CRC) can be reduced by early detection. Currently there is a lack established markers to detect neoplastic changes. We aimed identify the copy number variations (CNVs) associated genes which could potential for detection neoplasia in both ulcerative colitis-associated (UC-CRN) sporadic (S-CRN). employed array comparative genome hybridization (aCGH) CNVs tissue samples UC nonprogressor, progressor CRC. Select within these CNV regions as...

Abstract Carcinoma arising in the apocrine sweat glands is rare and there are few reports describing cytological features of this neoplasm. We describe a histologically confirmed carcinoma occurring 55‐year‐old man who presented with an ulcerated mass right axilla. Fine‐needle aspiration cytology revealed signet ring adenocarcinoma. The significance infrequently encountered neoplasm lies its potential for diagnostic confusion more common lesions containing cells. In axillary lesion, along...

Bone marrow (BM) biopsy is an integral part of staging work-up for non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).To study the characteristics BM involvement in NHL with respect to incidence, histologic pattern and morphology infiltration its discordance histology primary anatomic site.Forty-nine cases which was performed were included this study, site being classified according WHO classification NHL.A prospective 49 conducted. Bilateral obtained from posterior superior iliac spine. The biopsies fixed 10%...

Sacrococcygeal location of myxopapillary ependymoma (MPE) is uncommon. Local recurrence and metastases are on record inspite its benign characteristics. We report a rare case sacrococcygeal MPE in an 11-month-old female child who showed typical ependymal histology along with anaplastic component. Ki-67 labeling index the component was 4-5% 70%. Six weeks after gross total resection tumor, presented local metastasis right inguinal lymph nodes treated chemotherapy. The present second medical...

Although sildenafil citrate, one of the selective phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors, is considered best treatment for erectile dysfunction, studies have shown that it has also a beneficial effect on variety cardiovascular conditions. In spite reports significant protective against necrosis in intact hearts, there are contradictory regarding its heart. Since not enough histomorphological changes cardiomyocytes after exposure to present study was conducted observe same along with other...

Cystitis cystica and cystitis glandularis (CG) are relatively common appearances in the urinary bladder though CG may occasionally mimic a neoplasm. Microscopically, two types of recognized, usual type intestinal type. This study was undertaken to morphology highlight differences between adenocarcinoma. Eleven cases were seen, which 3 showed predominantly CG, eight One case primary adenocarcinoma included this study, where adjacent mucosa CG. Evaluation histological features especially helps...

Abstract A 65‐yr‐old woman presented in May 1998 with a left parotid mass of 2 yr duration. The cytology and histopathology the lesion showed features columnar cell carcinoma. In November, 1967, she was diagnosed to have classic papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Ultrasound examination revealed persistent nodule, aspiration which confirmed variant (CCV‐PTC). CCV‐PTC is recently described rare tumor that has been associated an aggressive clinical course. Our case peculiar patient isolated...

Abstract Clear‐Cell Sarcoma (CCS) is a rare malignant soft tissue tumor of young adults that often metastasizes to the lymph nodes. The fine needle aspirate cytology (FNAC) findings CCS have been described previously and it included in cytological category polygonal tumors. We describe case CCS, with emphasis on so called “tigroid background.” Though this tigroid background nonspecific feature has various other tumors, best our knowledge, not CCS. This may be useful recognition Diagn....

Poorly differentiated (insular) thyroid carcinoma (PDITC) is an uncommon thyroglobulin producing neoplasm intermediate in aggressiveness between well-differentiated carcinomas of follicular cell origin and undifferentiated anaplastic carcinoma. Its cytomorphological recognition essential for planning surgery subsequent management as it known its aggressive behavior, advanced stage at presentation, local recurrences rapid dissemination. We report a case PDITC arising long-standing goiter,...

Cutaneous angiomyolipomas are rare. We report a case in 45-year-old male with well circumscribed lesion located on the chin. This lesion, probably hamartomatous nature, differs from renal angiomyolipoma terms of nonassociation tuberous sclerosis, circumscription, and predominance. Another characteristic feature is absence epithelioid cells. Differential diagnosis includes angiolipoma, angioleiomyoma, hemangioma, myolipoma. It distinguished abovementioned entities by presence combination...

Cutaneous neurocristic hamartoma is a rare developmental complex melanocytic lesion of neural crest origin in the dermis and subcutis with diverse histological differentiation including melanocytic, neurosustentacular, mesenchymal elements. Cutis verticis gyrata cerebriform thickening scalp manifesting as folds, ridges, or creases. We report case cutaneous 20-year-old woman presenting cutis gyrata. Microscopically, involved subcutis. Dendritic pigmented melanocytes were seen between collagen...

Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer worldwide, which appears over sun-exposed as slow-growing, locally invasive lesion that rarely metastasizes. Many phenotypic presentations are possible. BCCs more in males and tend to occur older people. Majority found on head neck. histopathological subtypes have been defined including nodular, micronodular, cystic, superficial, pigmented, adenoid, infiltrating, sclerosing, keratotic, infundibulocystic, metatypical, basosquamous...
