Sinonasal Mass

Background: CT imaging of nose and paranasal sinuses is to confirm the diagnosis, localize the disease, characterize the extent of pathology and describe any anatomical variations. A careful histopathological examination (HPE) is nesessary to decide the nature of a specific lesion. Objective: To observe performance of CT scan as a sensitive modality in the diagnosis of sinonasal mass by comparing with the findings of histopathological examination. Methods: This cross sectional study in Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH). From 01/ 07/2013 to 30/06/2014 (One year), 42 patients were selected. Resuls: Here male and female ratio was found 1.4:1 So, the incidence of sinonasal growth slightly higher in male (59.3%) compared to the female (40.6%).Incidence of malignant tumour was found more in age group above 60 years. Out of 32 patients, 6 patients (18.7%) were diagnosed histopathologically as infective, 7 patients (21.8%) were benign and 19 patients (59%) had malignant sinonasal mass.

Objective: To establish CT scan as a sensitive modality in the diagnosis of sinonasal mass by correlating with the findings of histopathological examination Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) from 01/07/2013 to 30/06/2014. A total of 32 cases were studied. Results: In this study male and female ratio was 1.4:1. So, the incidence of sinonasal mass slightly higher in male (59.3%) compared to the female (40.6%). Incidence of malignant tumour was found more in age group above 60 years. Out of 32 patients, 6 patients (18.7%) were diagnosed histopathologically as infective, 7 patients (21.8%) were benign and 19 patients (59%) had malignant sinonasal mass. Conclusion: Computed tomography (CT) scan examination of the sinonasal mass correlate well in most of the cases with histopathological results. It is therefore can be concluded that CT examination of nose and paranasal sinuses is a useful modality in the evaluation of sinonasal mass.  Bangladesh J of Otorhinolaryngology; October 2018; 24(2): 149-155

Circulating Filarial Antigen

Background: Lymphatic filariasis is caused by a mosquito-borne parasite affecting roughly 100 million people round the world. There is consensus that hydrocele is the most frequent clinical manifestation of bancroftian filariasis. In endemic areas, about 40% of men are suffering from testicular hydrocele. With this background, the present study was aimed to find the incidence of filariasis in clinically diagnosed primary vaginal hydrocele.Methods: A hospital based prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted with 60 patients diagnosed clinically as primary vaginal hydrocele coming to the department of surgery, Dr. D. Y. Patil Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre, Pimpri, Pune, to assess the incidence of filariasis.Results: Anti-filarial antibody and circulating filarial antigen in serum were detected in 5 (8.3%). Out of 60 patients and anti-filarial antibody was detected in hydrocele fluid of 2 (3.3%) patients. 2 patients out of these 5 showed microfilaria in peripheral blood smear and eosinophilic infiltrates in histopathological examination of sac.Conclusions: In 5 out of 60 cases both anti-filarial antibody and circulating filarial antigen in serum are positive thus proving that incidence of filarial hydrocele is 8% in clinically diagnosed primary vaginal hydrocele which is supposed to be idiopathic. Even though these cases have presented as clinically primary vaginal hydrocele, they are found to be filarial hydrocele after analysis of serum and hydrocele fluid. So, it is advised that all cases of clinically diagnosed primary vaginal hydroceles should be investigated for filariasis and if not, may lead to recurrence in these cases.

Lung cancer is an important & widespread disease that contributes a major health problem worldwide. Lung cancer kills over 1 million people per year. Cigarette smoking is the major cause of lung cancer. CT scan is the principal radiological examination adjunct to X-Ray chest examination in diagnosis & management of lung cancer. The main Objective of the study was to assess the diagnostic usefulness of CT scan in evaluating & characterize the different types of lung tumors and to correlate CT findings of lung tumors with that of cytopathology. This study was carried out in the department of Radiology & Imaging, Dhaka medical college hospital, Dhaka during the period from 1st January 2007 to March 2008. It was a cross sectional study. Total 51 patients were selected conveniently, detailed history particularly symptoms related to lung tumors was carefully elicited to obtain maximum possible information regarding the illness. Possible diagnosis was established by the combination of history, physical examination, laboratory & radiological investigations. Then patients were underwent CT examination of lung. Cytopathological sample were obtained from the lesion by guided aspiration. Collected FNAC samples were send for cytopathology & collected reports were compared with CT scan reports. Sensitivity of CT to diagnose lung tumor was 97.4%, specificity 76.9% & accuracy 92.2 %.Faridpur Med. Coll. J. 2014;9(1): 37-41

H. pylori infection occurs worldwide. Approximately 50% of the world population is infected with this organism. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 81 dyspeptic patients attending at Dhaka Medical College Hospital, for diagnostic endoscopy. H. pylori infection was measured by three invasive methods: culture, rapid urease test & histopathology. Among study patients maximum (34.57%) H. pylori infected were in 21-30 years age group, bearing male female ratio 1: 92.86. Forty four (54.32%) out of 81 were culture positive, 61 (75.31%) were rapid urease test positive and 62 (76.54%) were histopathology positive. By using 'gold standard' definition, 64 (79.02%) were H. pylori infected, 17 were un-infected. Finally comparing among three invasive methods, all are highly sensitive and specific to diagnose H. pylori infection. DOI: 10.3329/fmcj.v5i1.6809Faridpur Med. Coll. J. 2010;5(1):21-24

Background: Oral carcinoma is the 6th most common carcinoma worldwide. The 5 year survival rate for oral carcinoma is only 50%. Patients of oral carcinoma are at high risk from secondary neoplasm. Over 90% of all primary malignant tumour of the oral cavity is squamous cell carcinoma. Aim: To find out the difference of clinical presentation and pathological aspects of oral cancer. Methods: In this cross sectional study 30 patients with carcinoma oral cavity from the department of otolaryngology and Head neck surgery, Bangabandhu Sheik Mujib medical University, Dhaka Medical College hospital and National Institute of cancer research & hospital, Mohakhali, Dhaka were included , period from march 2009 to September 2009. The patients were examined after admission into Hospital pre-operatively and in the post-operative period. The surgical specimen were sent for Histopathology. Results: Majority of the patients were at 6th decade where female outnumbered the male with male female ratio is 5:4. Out of 30 patients majority of the patients complains of soreness/ irritation and ulceration in the oral cavity followed by difficulty in mastication, foul breath, pain in the lesion, dysphagia, spitting of blood and excessive salivation. About the site of the lesion maximum patients having the lesion in buccal mucosa(30%) then anterior 2/3rd of tongue (23.33%), retromolar area (13.33%) in decreasing frequency. Conclusion: Oral carcinoma usually a disease of middle age and elderly people. Irritation or soreness is the commonest symptom. Most affected sites are buccal mucosa and anterior 2/ 3rd of tongue.
