Placental polyp is the retained fragment of placental tissue which presents as a polypoidal or pedunculated mass within the uterus. It is a rare entity and has an incidence of less than 0.25 % of all pregnancies. There are also very few reported cases of the clinical placental polyp. Here,we report a case of 22-year-old P1 woman presenting with vaginal bleeding and something coming down into vagina.Her last pregnancy had occurred one year ago.Laboratory investigation revealed slightly elevated serum b-hCG. Ultrasonography revealed thick endometrium, broad cervix (5.2cm) and a hyperechoic mass within the cervix. Extraction of the placental polyp followed by endometrial curettage were done and tissue sent for histopathology. Definite diagnosis was made by histopathological examination and which was a placental polyp. Chatt Maa Shi Hosp Med Coll J; Vol.20 (2); July 2021; Page 85-88

Clinical Differential Diagnosis

Tuberculosis of the oral cavity which is an uncommon occurrence can be primary or secondary. In the absence of active pulmonary tuberculosis, isolated tonsillar tuberculosis is rare. Herein, we report two cases of bilateral tonsillar tuberculosis who presented as recurrent sore throat for which tonsillectomy was done. No active primary pulmonary lesion was found in these cases. Histopathological examination revealed caseating epithelioid granulomas with Langhans giant cells. Ziehl Neelson stain for acid fast bacilli was positive in one case. Tonsillar tuberculosis, though a rare entity, should be considered in the clinical differential diagnosis of tonsillar lesions. Histopathological examination with Ziehl Neelson stain should be performed for definite diagnosis.

Entomophthoromycosis is a rare entity. We hereby report a case of entomophthoromycosis in a three-year-old Asian child who presented with a painless, nontender, rapidly increasing large swelling on the thigh of six months duration, which was initially misdiagnosed as a soft tissue tumor and resected. The cause of misleading diagnosis was rapid growth of the lesion in a short duration of time, indicating the possibility of a tumor. Histopathological examination revealed an inflammatory lesion with aseptate fungal hyphae and the characteristic Splendore-Hoeppli phenomenon. Microbiological examination identified the fungus as Basidiobolus ranarum. Complete excision of the lesion followed by antifungal therapy was associated with complete recovery. Entomophthoromycosis should be considered early when children from endemic areas present with unusual, rapid-growing lesions of the subcutaneous region. In order to emphasize tumor-like presentation of zygomycosis, we are presenting this case.

Common Indication

Introduction: Hysterectomy is the most commonly performed gynaecological surgery in India as well as in abroad. It is frequently done in myometrial and endometrial pathologies and rarely for other causes. Hysterectomy is definitive management for diseases like fibroid, adenomyosis, dysfunctional bleeding, prolapsed uterus and malignant lesions of uterus and adenexa. We aimed our study to observe incidence of different pathologies of uterus and other reproductive organs in hysterectomy specimens and retrospective correlation between clinical diagnosis and histopathological finding of hysterectomy cases.Materials and Methods: Retrospective data were collected from our routine histopathological laboratory. Detailed history, clinical examination and operative findings and provisional diagnosis of all 950 hysterectomy cases were recorded during study period of 2 years. Histopathological diagnosis was correlated with clinical and preoperative diagnosis.Observations: Abdominal hysterectomy (734 cases, 77.26%) was the most common route of approach during surgery. Common pre-operative diagnoses were fibroid uterus (32%), dysfunctional uterine bleeding (28.95%), uterine prolapsed (22.74%). Other causes included uterine polyps (1.6%), complications of pregnancy (2.74%), ovarian tumours (8.42%), cervical carcinomas (2.97%) etc. Common pathologies on histology were leiomyoma (32%), adenomyosis (20.32%), atrophic endometrium (17.26%) and endometrial pathology (8.95%).Discussion: Our study has been correlated with other studies of India and other south Asian countries. Most common indication of hysterectomy in our study is dysfunctional uterine bleeding (32%) but Gupta et al and Jha R et al found utero-vaginal prolapse as most common indication. Leiomyoma was the most common histology diagnosed in the present series. Clinical diagnosis was possible in 67.57% cases in our study similar to Khan et al (70.51%).Conclusions: Histopathological examination of hysterectomy specimens helps to detect the exact causes and underlined pathology.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.17(1) 2018 p.88-92

Polypoidal Growth

Uterine tumors resembling ovarian sex cord-like tumors (UTROST) are rarely encountered mesenchymal type of uterine tumors with unknown etiology. They usually exhibit nodular and polypoidal growth pattern and are commonly observed in the 4th to 6th decade. UTROSCTs behave benignly however limited data is available to date. Recently these tumors show a novel recurrent gene fusion involving the NCOA2/3 gene. Hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy or tumor resection is a treatment option. We report a case of a 35 years old female who presented with dysfunctional uterine bleeding. The diagnosis was initially rendered on endometrial curetting’s and further confirmed on the hysterectomy specimen after application of immunohistochemistry.

In the biliary tract, ‘mucinous’ carcinomas in which extracellular mucin constitutes more than 50% of the tumour volume, are very rare. Those tumours in which the mucinous pattern comprises of at least 90% of the tumour are called ‘pure mucinous’ carcinomas and are exceedingly rare in the gallbladder. We describe the case of a 55 years old female, who presented with the complaints of jaundice and dull aching pain in right hypochondriac region. USG abdomen was suggestive of carcinoma along with cholelithiasis, following which cholecystectomy was performed. Grossly, a large grey-white tumour was identified whose cut surface was variegated. Sections showed a tumour which was entirely composed of pools of extracellular mucin, in which clusters of tumour cells were floating. Based on morphology and immunohistochemistry, a final diagnosis of ‘pure mucinous (colloid) adenocarcinoma’ of the gallbladder was given. This case is described owing to the rarity of this neoplasm. The clinical features, natural history and prognosis of mucinous carcinoma of GB are not very well known, due to their extreme rarity. These have been discussed in this case report. Histopathological examination is vital for a decisive diagnosis of such cases.

Background: Malignant mesothelioma of the epididymis is an extremely rare neoplasm with a poor prognosis and high potential of recurrence. Case Presentation: We report a case of a 28-year-old male with a left painless epididymal nodule. Scrotal ultrasound revealed a nodular mass with mixed echogenicity and Doppler showed increased vascularity. Radical orchidectomy was performed. Histopathological examination concluded to a malignant mesothelioma involving the epididymis. Metastatic workup was negative. The patient has undergone a regular follow-up and has been disease-free within 6 months. Conclusion: Malignant mesothelium of the epididymis is a diagnosis challenge. Surgery remains the main treatment. A multidisciplinary management should be offered in those cases.

Partial molar pregnancy is a rare entity in which there is usually a triploid abnormal foetus associated with a large placenta with cystic changes. The incidence of a normal diploid foetus and a partial molar placenta is extremely rare. Here we report a case of partial molar pregnancy in which a normal appearing foetus with diploid karyotype coexist. In this case a 24yr old primigravida at 20 week 3days gestation presented with 3-4 episodes of vaginal bleeding and generalised swelling of body since one month. On evaluation she was found to have moderate anaemia, proteinuria, raised serum β hcg and USG showed a single live foetus with thickened cystic placenta covering the internal os. After counselling patient was put up for hysterotomy. The product of conception and placenta were sent for histopathology and karyotyping which confirmed partial hydatidiform mole with trisomy 21 foetus. Patient had uneventful post op period and was followed up with serial β hcg measurement which fell to undetectable levels within two months.
