Endometrial epithelial metaplasia is described as transition of the normal endometrial epithelial cells by benign complex proliferation of cells. These metaplastic changes have been frequently reported as associated changes in endometrial hyperplasia and adenocarcinoma more than non-neoplastic samples and are also known to appear atypical occasionally, and hence can be a diagnostic challenge. Eosinophilic cell change is one of the most frequently encountered endometrial metaplasias. Eosinophilic syncytial change is a form of eosinophilic endometrial metaplasia, and is known to mimic endometrial serous carcinoma, again posing a diagnostic challenge. In this article, we have presented a case of endometrial eosinophilic metaplasia in a 47-year-old patient along with a brief discussion on immunohistochemical characteristics of eosinophilic syncytial change that could help pathologists to differentiate them from malignancies in challenging scenarios.

Lipomatous uterine neoplasms are extremely uncommon lesions with a reported incidence of 0.01% to 0.2%. These lesions frequently pose a diagnostic challenge not only for the clinician but also for radiologists and pathologists alike. Diagnosis requires a multidisciplinary as well as multimodality approach. A 42-year-old peri-menopausal lady presented with abdominal distension, pain and irregular menstrual bleeding. On radiology, an intra-abdodominal hetergenous mass was seen suggestive of neoplastic etiology, possibly intraperitoneal liposarcoma. Microscopy revealed numerous adipocyte clusters intersecting the smooth muscle bundles, diagnostic of lipoleiomyoma. The present case is unusual as the patient had both intramural and broad ligament lipoleiomyoma. Through the present case we revisit clinical and morphological findings of lipoleiomyomas along with review of cases published in literature till date.

Abstract Amyand’s hernia in a child is a very rare entity. It poses a diagnostic challenge to the surgeon due to its variety of presentation. We are presenting a case of a 5-year-old child who presented to our institute with right-sided irreducible inguinal hernia. On exploration, the content of the hernia was caecum with normal appendix for which herniotomy with appendectomy was done.

Introduction. Metaplastic breast carcinoma is expressing epithelial and/or mesenchymal tissue within the same tumor. Aim. The aim of this study is to evaluate metaplastic breast carcinoma in a case report and literature review. Description of the case. The presented case desribes metaplastic carcinoma of the breast in 65 years old female patient. Conclusion. Fibromatosis-cell metaplastic carcinoma of the breast presents a particularly large diagnostic challenge. Malignant variants of this disease have been described in the literature.

Histoplasmosis is a fungal infection primarily acquired through inhalation, and is rarely encountered outside endemic areas. In non-endemic areas, histoplasmosis poses a diagnostic challenge, especially since the presenting lesions can mimic carcinoma and other chronic infections including tuberculosis. We report an unusual case of isolated vocal cord histoplasmosis in a 60 year old immunocompetent man from Bangladesh presenting with hoarseness of voice.
