Clinicopathological spectrum of teratomas: An 8-year retrospective study from a tertiary care institute.

Background: Teratomas are tumors that contain tissues derived from three different germ cell layers and having a wider range of differentiation with different site and age at presentation. The aim of the present study was to know the frequency of teratomas in various sites and to analyze their clinicomorphological features.

Materials And Methods: The present study is a retrospective study conducted in tertiary care hospital of Central India.

Aggressive angiomyxoma in pregnancy: A rare and commonly misdiagnosed entity.

Aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) is an uncommon mesenchymal tumor that predominantly involves the pelvis and perineum of young females. It is often clinically mistaken for more common superficial lesions such as vaginal cysts, labial cysts, and lipomas. A review of the medical literature reveals very few cases of AAM reported in pregnancy.

Raised adenosine deaminase in the cerebrospinal fluid: A tool for the diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis in developing countries.

Context: The rapid diagnosis followed by the early treatment of tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is important in preventing fatal outcomes. The mainstay of diagnosis lies in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis, radiological investigations, and clinical findings.

Aim: The present study was conducted to determine the efficacy, sensitivity, and specificity of raised adenosine deaminase (ADA) level in CSF to differentiate TBM from non-TBM cases as a rapid, cost-effective, and noninvasive test.

Histopathological Trends of Testicular Neoplasm: An Experience over a Decade in a Tertiary Care Centre in the Malwa Belt of Central India.

Introduction: Testicular and para-testicular neoplasm are rare type of tumours affecting adolescents and young adults, reflected by the paucity of published data in India.

Aim: This study was undertaken to estimate the epidemiological characteristics and histological types and subtypes of testicular neoplasm according to the WHO classification in our patient group. Identification of histopathological pattern of testicular tumour is immensely important for improved management protocols.

Role of radiological-assisted cytology in intra-abdominal lesions: A 3 years' experience in a tertiary care center.

Background: Fine needle aspiration (FNA) with assistance of radiological tools such as ultrasonography (USG) and computed tomography (CT) is an effective and safe technique for diagnosing intra-abdominal neoplastic and nonneoplastic lesions.

Aims And Objectives: (1) To assess the utility of image-guided cytology in the diagnosis of intra-abdominal lesions. (2) To categorize various intra-abdominal lesions according to their site of occurrence and study their cytomorphological features.
