Diagnostic Utility of High Fluorescence Cells in Detecting Malignant Effusions.

Background: Most modern haematology analysers have a dedicated body fluid mode for cell counts of body fluids. Many analysers also count the number of high fluorescence cells (HF cells). HF cells have a large nuclear size and emit high fluorescence when stained with fluorescent dyes.

Plasma cell leukemia: a retrospective study of 10 cases.

Background: Plasma cell leukemia (PCL) is a rare aggressive variant of multiple myeloma (MM) characterized by a fulminant course and poor prognosis. Flow cytometry (FCM) is very useful in the diagnosis of the plasma cell leukemia. Herein, we present 10 cases of PCL.

From esophagus to gingiva: A rare case of metastatic adenocarcinoma.

Localized gingival enlargement is often associated with systemic medications, abscess formation, trauma, or reactive lesions. Very few reports are available reporting enlargement of gingiva due to metastasis of adenocarcinoma of the esophagus. A case of localized gingival growth affecting right maxillary and mandibular gingiva was reported in a 60-year-old male patient in which excisional biopsy of the lesion was done.
