Interdigitating dendritic cell tumor: A rare case report with review of literature.

Interdigitating dendritic cell tumor/sarcoma (IDCT) is a very rare and aggressive neoplasm arising from antigen-presenting cells. It usually involves lymph nodes, but extranodal sites can also be involved. Because of the rarity of the disease, consistent standard treatment guidelines have not been established till date.

Treatment of breast cancer in a patient of Alport syndrome-induced chronic renal failure: A triumph story.

Alport syndrome is a hereditary disease of the glomerular basement membrane, characterized by the familial occurrence of progressive, hematuric nephropathy with sensorineural deafness. We are reporting here a young adult female, suffering from Alport syndrome with significant family history and on maintenance twice-weekly hemodialysis (HD), had been diagnosed with triple negative earlystage right-sided breast cancer. The patient was managed successfully with surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy with 3 cycles of 5-flurouracil, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide and 3 cycles of docetaxel.

Hepatosplenic Gamma Delta T-Cell Lymphoma (HSGDTCL): Two Rare Case Reports from Western India.

Peripheral T cell lymphomas are a heterogeneous group of post-thymic, mature lymphoid malignancies, accounting for approximately 10-15% of all non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSGDTCL) is a rare entity, which is characterized by primary extra nodal disease with typical sinusoidal or sinusal infiltration of the liver and the spleen, respectively by expression of the T-cell receptor γδ chain, and by a number of other frequent clinicopathologic features, including aggressive course of disease. Secondary involvement of liver by hematopoietic malignancies is much more common as compared to primary liver involvement.

Pulmonary toxicity following bleomycin use: A single-center experience.

Background: Bleomycin-induced pulmonary (BIP) toxicity is a notorious entity and cropped up in roughly 10% of cases. The aim of the study is to evaluate BIP at our tertiary care cancer center.

Patients And Methods: This is a retrospective, analytical study conducted at a tertiary care center from January 1998 to December 2012.

Aleukemic Leukemia Cutis Presenting as a Sole Sign of Relapsed Paediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

The author describes paediatric case of relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) presented as aleukemic leukaemia cutis (ALC). A 2 year old child was admitted in tertiary oncology centre. He suffered from pre B cell ALL with absent Philadelphia chromosome.

Treatment related acute promyelocytic leukemia (t-APML) in breast cancer survivor treated with anthracycline based chemotherapy: rare case report.

Treatment related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML) is well documented phenomenon after chemotherapy. In this subgroup of patients acute promyelocytic leukemia (APML) due to delayed complication of using anthracycline is very rare occurrence. Very few cases are reported in world literature.

Primary Hepatic Burkitt Lymphoma: A Bizarre Site and Triumph Tale.

Primary hepatic Burkitt lymphoma (PHBL) is an extremely rare form extra nodal lymphoma and till now only 11 case reports have been found in the literature. We are reporting an adult female with primary hepatic Burkitt's lymphoma, who achieved complete remission after 5 months of combination chemotherapy containing vincristine, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, methotrexate, prednisolone and intrathecal chemotherapy. She is under regular follow up at our institute.

Primary Mediastinal Synovial Sarcoma Presenting as Superior Vena Cava Syndrome: A Rare Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Primary mediastinal sarcomas are aggressive tumors with a very rare incidence. This report describes the case of a 35-year-old male patient who presented with acute symptoms of dyspnoea, facial puffiness, voice-hoarseness, and engorged neck veins. With the clinical picture consistent with the superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome, the patient was investigated with computed tomography of the chest.

Successful Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation of a Patient Suffering from Type II Congenital Dyserythropoietic Anemia A Rare Case Report from Western India.

The most frequent form of congenital dyserythropoiesis (CDA) is congenital dyserythropoietic anemia II (CDA II). CDA II is a rare genetic anemia in humans, inherited in an autosomally recessive mode, characterized by hepatosplenomegaly normocytic anemia and hemolytic jaundice. Patients are usually transfusion-independent except in severe type.

Primary vaginal myeloid sarcoma: a rare case report and review of the literature.

Myeloid sarcoma (chloroma, granulocytic sarcoma, or extramedullary myeloid tumour) is an extramedullary mass forming neoplasm composed of myeloid precursor cells. It is usually associated with myeloproliferative disorders but very rarely may precede the onset of leukemia. Here, we are presenting a rare case of primary vaginal myeloid sarcoma in a geriatric female patient without initial presentation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Primary synovial sarcoma of kidney: a rare differential diagnosis of renomegaly.

Synovial sarcomas (SS) are classified as subgroup of soft tissue sarcomas affecting mainly extremities of young adults. Primary SS of kidney are very rare tumours with poor prognosis. Though they have characteristic histology and immunohistochemistry (IHC) due to rarity of incidence it is difficult to diagnose them.

Paraneoplastic recurrent hypoglycaemic seizures: an initial presentation of hepatoblastoma in an adolescent male-a rare entity.

Hepatoblastoma (HB) is a rare malignant tumour of the liver and usually occurs in the first three years of life. Hepatoblastoma in adolescents and young adults is extremely rare; nevertheless the prognosis is much worse than in childhood, because these kinds of tumours are usually diagnosed late. Characteristic imaging and histopathological and AFP levels help in the diagnosis of hepatoblastoma.
