Struma ovarii is a rare tumor of ovary which accounts for 1% of all ovarian tumors and 3% 0f all dermoid tumors. It belongs to the group of monodermal teratomas. We present a case of struma ovarii in a 55 year old women who presented with symptoms of pain in lower abdomen and loss of appetite for the last one month. Radiological investigations including USG, CT scan and MRI revealed a complex right adnexal lesion. Final diagnosis of struma ovarii was made on histopathological examination which revealed colloid filled thyroid follicles lined by cuboidal epithelium. JMS 2017; 20(1):41-43

ABSTRACT Struma ovarii (SO) is a rare special type of monodermal teratoma of ovary that predominantly consists of thyroid tissue (> 50%). In only 5 to 20% of cases hyperthyroidism is seen due to functional SO. We are reporting here a case of unilateral benign cystic SO in a 50-year-old postmenopausal lady presented with pain and heaviness in lower abdomen without any signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism. Pelvic ultrasonogram showed right side tubo-ovarian mass and was planned for laparotomy. In preoperative investigation subclinical hyperthyroidism was diagnosed. Abdominal exploration showed cystic mass lesion in right ovary. She underwent total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Histopathological examination diagnosed the mass as benign cystic SO. Patient became euthyroid after surgical removal of tumor. How to cite this article Lata I, Kapoor D.

A 75-year-old woman developed redness and swelling on her truncal skin, spreading from the lower abdomen to left thigh, 2 months before being admitted to our hospital. She was urgently hospitalised because of her worsening respiratory condition. On admission, she had reticular telangiectasia, diffuse skin induration on the lower abdomen and panhypopituitarism. She was diagnosed with intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) by the third random abdominal skin biopsy. After histopathological examination at autopsy, we made a final diagnosis of IVLBCL causing respiratory failure and panhypopituitarism. This is the rare case of IVLBCL-induced panhypopituitarism showing visible skin lesions.

Mesenchymal Tumour

Primary ovarian Leimyoma is a rare benign mesenchymal tumour usually arising from smooth muscle of walls of ovarian blood vessels. It’s mostly discovered incidentally. Here we report a case in which a 24-year-old unmarried woman presented with pain and discomfort in lower abdomen since 10 days. On further evaluation through imaging and blood works, we proceeded with surgical management. Immunohistochemistry confirmed the final diagnosis of ovarian leiomyoma. However, it’s important to keep this entity as a differential diagnosis for solid ovarian tumors.

Abstract This work discussed the best diagnostic modility for early detection of pancreatic cancer compared to final diagnosis reached by histopathological examination. The present study was constructed by doing imaging modalities computed tomography (CT) and endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) on 24 patients admitted to surgery department in the faculty of medicine with suspected pancreatic malignancy. As regard masses diameters detected by each modality, EUS was found to be superior to CT in detection of masses less than 20mm in diameter. According to the mass nature, those found in the head region tended to be malignant more frequently than the body and tail, Moreover, solid heterogeneous masses also were more likely to be malignant than the cystic ones as detected by the imaging modalities, with higher accuracy of EUS than with CT. EUS showed more accurate information as regards lymph node involvement and vascular invasion than CT. All of which affected the assessment of resectability of pancreatic masses. On head-to-head comparison, EUS appeared to perform better than CT scan in respect to nodal staging. Based on these results, we conclude that EUS staging should be the standard of care along with state of the art CT scan for the preoperative evaluation of patients with pancreatic cancer. However, large, prospective, multicenter studies directly comparing the accuracy of linear EUS vs. new generation CT scanners are still needed.

F.NA.C has been used for ages as a safe and economical tool for fast preoperative diagnosis of parotid tumors. It has certain pitfall which sometimes leads to misdiagnosis and consequently it may have affect on treatment of the tumors. Keeping in view of the diverse classification of parotid tumors’ information from cytology should be combined with radiology as well as clinical diagnosis. Aim: To discuss some cases where there was discrepancy between cytological diagnosis and histopathological result and also suggest measures to improve the efficacy of F.N.A.C. Material and methods: The study includes 50 cases of parotid tumours who presented to the  department of ENT at Government medical college Haldwani which is a tertiary referral centre during 2009 to 2016. Only adult patients were included and inflammatory swelling were excluded from the study. All patients evaluated  Contrast enhanced computerized tomography(CECT) and  Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) followed by Fine needle aspiration cytology .Preoperative diagnosis was made upon the findings of the above investigations and different types of  parotid surgeries  were done. . Final diagnosis was made on  histopathological  examination. Result :The most common tumour  came out to be pleomorphic adenoma (23 cases-46%) followed by mucoepidermoid carcinoma(12cases-24%). In ten  cases there was no clear cut  association between cytological diagnosis and final histopathological diagnosis. Conclusion: FNAC is highly sensitive and specific technique for diagnosis of many salivary gland swellings. FNAC can be used preoperatively to avoid unnecessary surgery and biopsy. Details of clinical information and radiologic features may help the pathologist to arrive at the appropriate diagnosis and reduce false interpretation. Pitfalls may also occur with improper technique of FNAC which can be overcome by proper caution.

Optimal Debulking

Background : Malignant ovarian tumor are still the number one cause of death and the second most  of incidents for gynecological malignant tumors. The principles of management of ovarian cancer are the same as the principles of handling other malignant diseases, for the treatment of primary lesions operatively and the handling of potential sites of tumor metastases with chemotherapy. Histopathological examination is still considered a gold standard for diagnosis and definitive treatment of malignant ovarian tumors. If histopathologic results are obtained, then the patient will be planned to undergo postoperative chemotherapy. The mismatch between the preoperative and intraoperative clinical features, and the results of postoperative histopathological examination is a problem in managing cases of ovarian malignant tumors.Objective : Report a case of residive ovarian carcinoma with no appearance of malignancy marker in the previous postoperative histopathological examination.Method : Case reportCase : We report the case of a 45-year-old woman with a history of two previous laparotomy. The first operation was carried out in February 2014 on the indication of an extra ovarian cyst, resulting in the impression of a "Follicular Cysts" based on histopathological examination. The second operation was performed in March 2015, performed surgical staging tumors with an indication of malignant ovarian tumors with clinical metastases, but from histopathological examination it was found that "Cystadenoma Ovarii Muscinosum Multiloculare" and "no visible signs of malignancy", so the patient was not managed with postoperative chemotherapy. In April 2019 patients came with complaints of new mass growth, from CT-Scan and USG investigations there was a suspicious impression of a residive ovarian tumor with metastases into the omentum and massive ascites. On May 16, 2019 an optimal debulking was performed with the findings of residive mass, ascites, and mass metastases in the intra operative peritoneum. From the results of histopathological examination, it was found that "Muscinous Carcinoma with metastases to the umbilicus, peritoneum, and ascitic fluidKeywords: Malignant residive ovarian tumor, mucinous ovarian carcinoma

Primary Location

B-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma which is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma is rather uncommon in children. Focal changes in bones in the course of non-Hodgkin lymphoma are mostly secondary changes and their primal location in a bone is rare. PBL (primary bone lymphoma) mainly concerns a thighbone and a tibial bone; the primary location in jaw bones is quite sporadic. In diagnostics, there is mainly magnetic resonance, medical scan (tomography), and above all – histopathological test. There is also chemotherapy by choice, and primary location in a jaw or a mandible significantly advances the prognosis. The aim of the work is to introduce a patient who was definitively diagnosed B-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma from the early B-cells. The girl reported to Laryngological Clinic, Dental Surgery Clinic for Children, Oncological Clinic of Children’s Memorial Health Institute. The cause of the visit was an elevation on the right side of a nose base, present for two months and misdiagnosed by doctors as a post-traumatic swelling in this region. After introducing laboratory and scan diagnostics and taking biopsy from the lesion, a final conclusion was made. Also, a proper treatment according to the protocol for B-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma was introduced. Non-specific B-cell lymphoma picture, as mentioned in the described case, specifically due to location in a jaw bone and a slow pace of growing, may both constitute huge diagnostic problems and deteriorate prognosis. Therefore, it is important to take into account also lymphoma – in such location of a lesion. Moreover, it is worth remembering that the final diagnosis may only be passed on the basis of histopathological examination.
