Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor: A rare case report with review of literature and its differential diagnosis.

Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor (OFMT) is a rare mesenchymal tumor of uncertain histogenesis with intermediate malignant potential presenting commonly in the fifth to sixth decade in the proximal limb and limb girdle. A 65-year-old male patient presented with a slow-growing gluteal mass. Wide local excision performed showed a well-defined tumor in the subcutaneous plane with a partially hard outer shell.

Comparison of pathological response of standard chemoradiotherapy versus short course radiotherapy in rectal carcinoma: A pilot study.

Introduction: Neoadjuvant chemoradiation (CRT) is standard of care for locally advanced rectal cancer. However short course radiotherapy (SCRT) was developed for the benefit of a shorter treatment duration and early surgical intervention which also helped in reducing the case burden to the hospital. SCRT is routinely practised in European countries, Indian experience with the SCRT is limited and hence a pilot study was conducted to compare the morphological difference and pathological response between SCRT and CRT.

Does an excision of needle bone biopsy tract affect the prognosis in patients with primary bone tumor?

Background: Opinion remains divided as to whether excision of needle biopsy tract is beneficial and affect the prognosis. The aim of the study was to compare the outcomes in patients of primary malignant bone tumor who had undergone surgery with or without biopsy tract excision.

Methods: From January 2017 to June 2020, 240 patients with primary malignant bone tumors who underwent percutaneous needle biopsy followed by surgery were included.

Ewing Sarcoma with Ganglion Cells Post-Chemotherapy: A Case Report with Review of Literature.

Karthik DhandapaniEwing sarcoma arises in both bones (most common) and soft tissues and it commonly affects young adults. The tumor is composed of small round cells showing positivity for CD99 and FLI1 on immunohistochemistry (IHC). We describe ganglion cell differentiation post-chemotherapy in Ewing sarcoma which is a rare phenomenon.

Clinico-Pathological Spectrum of Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma: Case Series from a Tertiary Care Cancer Referral Centre in India with a Focus on Unusual Clinical and Histological Features.

Objective: Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is characterized by distinctive histomorphology of variably discohesive epithelioid cells arranged in nests and translocation of t(x;17) (p11.2;q25) resulting in ASPSCR1-TFE3 fusion. The aim of the present study is to review the clinical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical profile of ASPS with a focus on unusual histological features.

Extra-adrenal peripheral neuroblastic tumors: A clinicopathological study of 18 cases.

Background: Peripheral neuroblastic tumors arise from the sympathoadrenal lineage of the neural crest. They have been classified according to the International Neuroblastoma Pathology Committee (INPC) into Four categories according to International Neuroblastoma Pathology Committee (INPC): a) Neuroblastoma (NB) b) Ganglioneuroblastoma (GNB), nodular c) Ganglioneuroblastoma, intermixed, and d) Ganglioneuroma (GN). Because of the rarity of extra-adrenal peripheral neuroblastic tumors, limited information is available regarding the chemotherapy of NB and GNB.

Histomorphological Spectrum and Diagnostic Challenges in Thymic Epithelial Neoplasms with their Prognostic Significance: A Case Series of 33 Cases at a Regional Cancer Center in Western India.

Jahnavi Gandhi, DCP  Pathological diagnosis of thymic epithelial neoplasms is challenging due to multiple subtypes, tumor heterogeneity, and variations in inter-observer reproducibility. Very few studies are available on their spectrum in the Indian subcontinent. In this study, we aimed to explore the morphological spectrum and diagnostic difficulties in the classification and subtyping of thymic epithelial neoplasms along with their prognostic significance in the Indian population.

Tumor budding as a prognostic indicator in colorectal carcinoma: a retrospective study of primary colorectal carcinoma cases in a tertiary care center.

Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide. Along with many established prognostic factors, tumor budding is emerging as a valuable marker of prognosis. Tumor budding is not yet universally reported but it has recently been suggested in guidelines by ITBCC (International Tumor Budding Consensus Conference).

Thigh mass in a patient with malignant pleural mesothelioma: Metastasis at an unusual site.

Soft tissue tumors are a highly heterogeneous group of lesions with varied clinical presentation. The majority is primary tumors and metastatic tumors are very rare. Malignant pleural mesothelioma presenting as a soft tissue mass at a distant site is even rarer and can cause diagnostic challenges both clinically and pathologically.

Metastasis of soft tissue sarcomas in lymph node: A cytomorphological study.

Background: Soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) rarely metastasizes to lymph node compared to carcinoma. Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) carries a pivotal role in diagnosis of metastatic tumor to lymph node. This study highlights the role of FNAC in diagnosis of STS metastasis to lymph node.

Primary hepatic lymphoma: A case report.

Primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the liver is a very rare malignancy. In this case report, we describe a case of primary hepatic lymphoma (PHL) in a 60-year-old man who presented with lump and pain in the abdomen of 2 months' duration. The patient had altered liver function, normal serum alfa fetoprotein level (AFP), normal hemogram and bone marrow.

Small cell variant of renal oncocytoma with liver metastases: a case report.

Renal oncocytoma is a renal neoplasm considered to be benign. A small cell variant comprising predominantly of oncoblasts is rare. Metastases from a renal oncocytoma are extremely rare.
