Histopathological Scenario of Testicular Lesions with Few Uncommon Entities – 3 Years Study in a Tertiary Care Hospital

BACKGROUND The incidence of testicular malignancy has been increasing in men, orchidectomy is necessary for the removal of neoplastic lesions or in patients with chronic inflammatory conditions resistant to treatment. We wanted to evaluate the various histopathological patterns of lesions in testis. METHODS A retrospective study of 86 orchidectomy specimens over a period of three years with age wise distribution from March 2017 to February 2020 was done in the Department of Pathology, Guntur Medical College, Guntur. Histopathological slides stained with haematoxylin and eosin were retrieved and reviewed. Immunohistochemistry was done in two cases. RESULTS Of the 86 cases, 78 (90.7 %) cases were non neoplastic and 8 (9.3 %) cases were neoplastic. Youngest age in non-neoplastic group was four days and in neoplastic group was 18 years. The oldest age was 82 years in the non-neoplastic lesions and 60 years in the neoplastic lesions. Non neoplastic lesions were common in the 3 rd decade. In malignant lesions, highest number of cases was seen in the 6 th decade and equal distribution was observed in 3rd and 5th decade. Unilateral involvement was common than bilateral involvement. Out of all non-neoplastic lesions, undescended testis 20 (25.64 %) cases was the common finding followed by non-specific epididymo orchitis 19 (24.36 %) cases, abscess 14 (17.95 %) cases, torsion infarction 13 (16.67 %) cases, Leydig cell hyperplasia 4 (5.13 %) cases, 3 (3.85 %) cases each of tuberculous epididymo orchitis and granulomatous epididymo orchitis. 1 (1.28 %) case each of rare entities like vanishing testis and splenogonadal fusion were also found. Among the neoplastic lesions, all 8 cases were malignant tumours. Out of these malignant tumours, mixed germ cell tumours were seen in 3 (37.5 %) cases followed by seminomas 2 (25 %) cases, post pubertal teratoma 1 (12.5 %) case, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) 1 (12.5 %) case and primitive neuroectodermal tumour (PNET) 1 (12.5 %) case. CONCLUSIONS Histopathological examination on routine haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained sections primarily differentiate non neoplastic lesions from neoplastic group and benign tumours from malignant tumours as the treatment modality varies. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is useful in the diagnosis of poorly differentiated small round cell tumours. KEYWORDS Orchidectomy Specimens, Neoplastic and Non-Neoplastic Lesions

Neoplastic Lesions

Sinonasal masses are common in the ENT Outpatient Department. The incidence being 1-4% of population. The symptoms and signs frequently overlap, hence, a diagnostic dilemma exists. The aim of this study was to study the occurrence of various lesions, the age, site and sex wise distribution in a tertiary care hospital of Maharashtra over the period of two years. The study aims to examine the occurrence of various lesions in nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, to determine the age, sex and site wise incidence of different benign and malignant lesions of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses and to correlate the clinical and histopathological findings. Descriptive Study A descriptive study was carried out in the Department of Pathology at Tertiary Health Care among patients with clinically diagnosed nasal and paranasal sinus lesions attending the OPD of ENT during a period of 2 years. The specimens were grossly examined; fixed and routine microscopic staining was done. Interpretation was done using colour of the nuclei and the specimens were classified as neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions. The data was statistical analysed. Mean, Median, Mode The most common clinical presentation was nasal obstruction 97 (93.26%), rhinorrhoea 73 (70.19%) and facial pain 24 (23%). 1: Mean age for the lesions to occur was years with the range 21-30 years (20.92%); 2: Non-neoplastic lesions 82 (79.6%) were more common than neoplastic lesions; 3: Simple nasal polyp 74 (90.23%), hemangiomas (50%) and squamous cell carcinoma (50%) were most common. The study concludes that complete clinical, radiological and histopathological correlation helps us to categorize these sino-nasal lesions into various non-neoplastic and neoplastic types. But final histopathological examination provides a confirmatory diagnosis, as a significant number of cases may be missed on clinical evaluation alone.The clinical features of non-neoplastic and neoplastic nasal and paranasal sinuses lesions may be indistinguishable from each other leading to delay in proper diagnosis and treatment. Histopathological examination is a reliable, cost effective diagnostic tool for accurate diagnosis and management of such lesions, as a significant number of cases may be missed on clinical evaluation alone.

Neoplastic Lesions

BACKGROUND Salivary gland lesions constitute less than 1 % of tumours and about 4 % of all epithelial neoplasms of head and neck region. These comprise of a wide variety of benign, malignant and non-neoplastic lesions which exhibits a difference in histological behaviour. There are no reliable criteria to differentiate on clinical grounds the benign from malignant ones. So morphological evaluation is necessary. We aim to study the frequency of various salivary gland lesions in sialoadenectomy specimens and categorise them into neoplastic and nonneoplastic lesions. METHODS It is a record based retrospective 5-year study carried out in the Government Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, from January 2014 to December 2018. RESULTS In this study a total of 329 histopathologically proven cases of salivary gland lesions were included. Neoplastic lesions and non-neoplastic lesions constituted 78.42 % and 21.58 % respectively. Pleomorphic adenoma was the most common neoplasm (50.54 %) trailed by Warthin’s tumour (9.73 %). Most common malignant neoplasm encountered in our study was mucoepidermoid carcinoma (9.73 %) among which low grade tumours showed predominance. We observed significantly higher incidence of benign and malignant lesions in the 5 th to 6th decade while non neoplastic lesions were seen more in the 4th to 5th decade. Average age of the patients with salivary gland tumours was 46.12  SD 15.57. Majority of cases of salivary gland lesions in our study were from parotid gland (75.68 %) followed by submandibular gland 24.01 %. CONCLUSIONS Pleomorphic adenoma was the most common benign tumour in our study and mucoepidermoid carcinoma the most common malignant tumour. Neoplastic lesions showed a predominance over non neoplastic lesions. Histopathological examination is the mainstay for diagnosis and clinical management.

Insight Into

Background: The present study was aimed to obtain insight into the varied histopathological patterns of lesions of uterus and cervix in hysterectomy specimens and their age-wise distribution in Index MedicalCollege, Hospital and Research Center. Methodology: This was anobservational study conducted on 100 cases of hysterectomy specimens received at tertiary care hospital Indore. All the specimen was subjected to detailed gross and histopathological examination. Results: Mean age of patients was 44.78±8.64 years. The most common age group was 41-50yrs (42%). Maximum cases were diagnosed as AUB/ DUB/Menorrhagia (31%) followed by fibroid uterus (28%). Uterus was bulky in 70%, cut sections revealed single fibroid in majority i.e. 39% cases and endometrium was in proliferative phase (early 12%, mid 30%, late 19%). Most common histopathological diagnosis of uterus was leiomyoma in 39% cases whereas chronic nonspecific cervicitis (47%) was most common histological diagnosis of cervix. Intramural leiomyoma were most common and were associated with degenerative changes in 33 cases. Hyaline degeneration was observed in maximum cases. Conclusion: The most common indication for hysterectomies in our institution is excessive uterine bleeding. Fibroid uterus as the cause of bleeding is the most common pathology for which hysterectomy is performed. Chronic cervicitis is the most common finding and Adenomyosis continued to be missed preoperatively and diagnosed postoperatively on histopathological examination. Every hysterectomy specimen should be subjected to histopathological examination to confirm various pathological lesions. Keywords: Leiomyoma, histopathology, spectrum, uterus, cervix, hysterectomy

Neoplastic Lesions

Background: A variety of mass lesions occur within the paranasal sinus (PNS) and nasal cavity and thus it becomes mandatory for otorhinolaryngologist to elicit detailed history and thorough examination before reaching a final diagnosis. This is retrospective study of all sinonasal masses who were undergone surgical management in the institute of rural India and so in the environment.Methods: This is a retrospective observational study of 70 patients with sinonasal masses treated at a rural tertiary care hospital in rural western Maharashtra from period of Jan 2016 to May 2018. History, clinical assessment and histopathological examination (HPE) was done in all cases as per hospital record supplemented by radiological investigation as per requirement. The patients were grouped as per their histopathological diagnosis as non-neoplastic/inflammatory and neoplastic.Results: A total of 70 patients were analysed age ranging (11-70 years). Majority of the patients were in the age groups 21-40 years (47%). There were 43 (61%) male and 27 (39%) female with M:F ratio 1.6:1. On HPE, 50 (71%) cases were non neoplastic/inflammatory and 20 (29%) cases were neoplastic lesions. HPE revealed that 50 (71%) cases were non neoplastic and 20 (29%) cases were neoplastic lesions.Conclusions: Sinonasal masses have various differential diagnoses. They are fairly common with male predominance. Benign conditions show a peak during 2nd to 4th decade of life while malignancy increasing with the age after 4th decade. In non-neoplastic lesion, Allergic nasal polyp is the commonest histological pattern seen while in malignant lesions squamous cell carcinoma is noted with 100% male predominance.

AbstractBackgroundThe Covid-19 pandemic began in China in December 2019. India is the second most affected country, as of November 2020 with more than 8.5million cases. Covid-19 infection primarily involves the lung with severity of illness varying from influenza-like illness to acute respiratory distress syndrome. Other organs have also found to be variably affected. Studies evaluating the histopathological changes of Covid-19 are critical in providing a better understanding of the disease pathophysiology and guiding treatment. Minimally invasive biopsy techniques (MITS/B) provide an easy and suitable alternative to complete autopsies. In this prospective single center study we present the histopathological examination of 37 patients who died with complications of Covid-19.MethodsThis was an observational study conducted in the Intensive Care Unit of JPN Trauma Centre AIIMS. A total of 37 patients who died of Covid-19 were enrolled in the study. Post-mortem percutaneous biopsies were taken by the help of surface landmarking/ultrasonography guidance from lung, heart, liver, and kidneys; after obtaining ethical consent. The biopsy samples were then stained with haematoxylin and eosin stain. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed using CD61 and CD163 in all lung cores. SARS-CoV-2 virus was detected using IHC with primary antibodies in selected samples. Details regarding demographics, clinical parameters, hospital course, treatment details, and laboratory investigations were also collected for clinical correlation.ResultsA total of 37 patients underwent post-mortem minimally invasive tissue sampling. Mean age of the patients was 48.7years and 59.5% of them were males. Respiratory failure was the most common complication seen in 97.3%. Lung histopathology showed acute lung injury and diffuse alveolar damage in 78% patients. Associated bronchopneumonia was seen in 37.5% patients and scattered microthrombi were visualised in 21% patients. Immunostaining with CD61 and CD163 highlighted megakaryocytes, and increased macrophages in all samples. Immunopositivity for SARS-CoV-2 was observed in Type II pneumocytes. Acute tubular injury with epithelial vacuolization was seen in 46% of the renal biopsies but none of them showed evidence of microvascular thrombosis. 71% of the liver tissue cores showed evidence of Kupfer cell hyperplasia. 27.5% had evidence of submassive hepatic necrosis and 14% had features of acute on chronic liver failure. All the heart biopsies showed non-specific features such as hypertrophy with nucleomegaly with no evidence of myocardial necrosis in any of the samples.ConclusionsThe most common finding in this cohort is the diffuse alveolar damage with demonstration of SARS-CoV-2 protein in the acute phase of DAD. Microvascular thrombi were rarely identified in the lung, liver and kidney. Substantial hepatocyte necrosis, hepatocyte degeneration, Kupffer cell hypertrophy, micro, and macrovesicular steatosis unrelated to microvascular thrombi suggests that liver might be a primary target of Covid-19. This study highlights the importance of MITS/B in better understanding the pathological changes associated with Covid-19.

Background: Ovarian cancers ranks fifth in cancer death worldwide and in India it ranks third among the female genital tract malignancies. Objective of present study was to assess prospectively the efficacy of morphological indexing (MI) as a method to predict malignancy in sonographically confirmed ovarian tumors.Methods: A prospective study conducted in a tertiary care hospital in Tamil Nadu from September 2011 to August 2012. The risk of malignancy is preoperatively assessed in 136 patients with ovarian tumour using a morphological index based on tumour volume and wall structure. Each tumour was assigned a score of 0 to 10 based on increasing volume and morphologic complexity. The efficacy of the index was assessed by histopathological examination of the tumour.Results: The benign tumours had a mean MI score of 4.3 and malignant tumours had a mean of 8.3 which was statistically significant. Of the 54 tumours with MI <5, only 2 (3.7%) were malignant where else out of the remaining 82 tumours with MI >5, 54 (51.2%) were malignant. With MI >5 as a predictor of malignancy the present study had a Sensitivity-95.5%, Specificity-56.5%, Positive predictive value-51.2%, Negative predictive value-94%, and Accuracy-68%.Conclusions: Morphological index is a simple, valuable and inexpensive diagnostic tool to rule out malignancy in pre operative evaluations of ovarian tumors.

Background: Skin adnexal tumours are rare tumours with complex histological patterns and variations and difficult to diagnose by histopathology only, so clinical history and presentation is necessary. The objective of the study was to correlate with age, sex, location, type of differentiation of adnexal tumours in our pathology department.Methods: The present study was a prospective study done in the department of pathology in Andhra medical college, King George Hospital, Visakhapatnam. A total of 51 cases were included in this study from January 2015 to December 2016. Specimens were formalin fixed and after adequately processing the sections were stained routinely with hematoxylin and eosin stain and properly evaluated for histopathological examination.Results: Out of these 51 cases, 88.24% (45 cases) were benign, and 11.76% (6 cases) were malignant tumours. Hair follicle differentiation were most common (35.3%) followed by sebaceous gland differentiation (31.37%) and sweat gland differentiation (29.41%).Conclusions: Benign adnexal tumours were most common than malignant tumours. Skin adnexal tumours are clinically often misdiagnosed, so histopathological examination remains gold standard for their correct diagnosis.

Testicular Lesions

The primary objective of our study was to identify the different types of histopathological lesions of testes and epididymis occurring in patients admitted in a tertiary care hospital, the objective was also to analyze the spectrum of testicular lesions, our aim was to evaluate the prevalence of testicular malignancies and characterize the tumor based on their histo-morphological features. This was a prospective study of 2 years (October 2018 to October 2020) aggregating a total of 52 cases. The surgical specimens were referred to the pathology department for histopathological analysis. Adetailed preoperative history of every case with regards to age, presenting symptoms, and signs along with personal history were obtained.Also, relevant investigations like serum tumor markers and Ultrasonography findings were analyzed. Postoperatively, the tissue was sent to the histopathology department was studied by proper fixation, gross examination, adequate sampling, and paraffin sections of the same.10% formalin was used to fix the specimen. Some resources suggest the use of Bouin solution for the fixation of testis biopsy specimens. However, the picric acid in the Bouin solution presents challenges for safe handling and disposal due to its explosive potential.Hence, given the available resources in our laboratory setting, formalin was the preferred choice of fixative. We ensured that the specimens came in adequate amount of formalin from the OT with correct labeling.We excluded the autolyzed specimens. The data was noted and quantitative analysis was done.The study was further compared with other previously reported studies. 52 cases were studied and majority of the cases were reported in the age group of 31-40yrs. 65.4% cases were non neoplastic, with testicular torsion being the commonest lesion. Amongthe 23.1% neoplastic cases that were reported, mixed germ cell tumor was the commonest (75%). Non neoplastic lesions are more common than neoplastic lesions. Torsion testis was the commonest indication for orchidectomy in younger age group. Despite newer techniques in imaging and tumor marker assays the diagnosis of testicular lesions is primarily dependent upon histopathological examination.

BACKGROUND A variety of non - neoplastic and neoplastic conditions involve the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses and nasopharynx and these are very common lesions encountered in clinical practice. Histopathological examination of these lesions is the gold standard for diagnosis because management and prognosis vary among different lesions. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the histopathological study of the lesions of the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses and nasopharynx in relation to their incidence, age, gender and site wise distribution and to compare the results with the available data. METHODS A study of 88 cases was conducted for a period of 2 years from August 2017 to July 2019. After fixation, Processing and Haematoxylin and Eosin staining and special stains histopathological diagnosis was made. RESULTS Among 88 total cases, 58 were males and 30 were females. A male predominance was observed with a male to female ratio of 1.93 : 1. They were more common in third, fourth and fifth decade of life. Malignant nasal lesions were seen after fourth decade of life. Nasal lesions were more common in nasal cavity (67.05 %), followed by paranasal sinuses (18.18 %) and nasopharynx (14.75). Out of 88 total cases, 39 (44.32 %) were non - neoplastic, 30 (34.09 %) were benign and 19 (21.59 %) were malignant nasal lesions. CONCLUSIONS Sinonasal lesions and nasopharyngeal lesions can have various differential diagnoses. A complete clinical, radiological and histopathological correlation helps to categorize these sinonasal lesions into various non - neoplastic and neoplastic types. But histopathological examination remains the mainstay of definitive diagnosis.
