Twin Malignancy of Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Multiple Myeloma in a Chemotherapy-Naïve Patient: A Rare Occurrence.

Synchronous diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and multiple myeloma in chemotherapy-naïve patients is a rare event and poses a serious therapeutic challenge as it imparts a poor prognosis. We report a case of concurrent AML with multiple myeloma in a 44-year-old male along with a PUBMED-based research of previously reported similar cases in published literature.

Metastasis of primary signet ring cell carcinoma of prostate to bone marrow: A rare occurrence with review of literature.

We report a case of a 65-year-old male who presented with multiple enlarged intraabdominal lymph nodes with lytic lesions over pelvic and lumbar vertebrae. His serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was markedly raised. Bone marrow investigation revealed the presence of diffuse infiltration of single cells having hyperchromatic nuclei, moderate amount of eosinophilic cytoplasm, and eccentrically placed nuclei resembling signet ring cells.

Vancomycin-Induced Maturation Arrest with Reactive Promyelocyte Proliferation: A Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenge.

Drug-induced leukopenia is a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. A detailed clinical history is a must to come to a right diagnosis. Certain drugs are known to cause bone marrow suppression, leukopenia, myeloid maturation arrest, and reactive promyelocyte proliferation.

Clinico-Hematological Profile of Acute Leukemia Cases in Bihar: A Multiparameter Study in a Tertiary-Care Hospital.

The actual incidence and demographic profile of hematological malignancies are unknown in Bihar because of lack of population-based cancer registry (PBCR) data and specialized tertiary cancer center facilities. The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence, clinico-hematological profile and subtyping of acute leukemia cases by retrospective medical records.  A retrospective study was conducted in the Department of Hematology, Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Patna, Bihar, India, over 2 years from July 2019 to June 2021.

Endometrial stromal sarcoma with sex cord differentiation: An uncommon tumor posing diagnostic challenge.

Endometrial stromal sarcoma with sex cord differentiation is a very unusual neoplasm affecting the uterine cavity with an incidence of only 0.25%. They can cause difficulties in diagnosis due to it is histologic appearance and rarity of occurrence.

Primary pituitary tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that involves any organ. However, the primary pituitary tuberculosis is an extremely rare disease. Intracranial tuberculomas account for 0.

Malignant glomus tumor of the index finger.

Glomus tumor (GT) is a benign mesenchymal tumor with an estimated incidence of 1.5 to 2% of soft tissue tumors. The majority of glomus tumors are benign and are mostly seen in the superficial skin & soft tissue of upper and lower distal extremity.

Endometrial and cervical osseous metaplasia with extramedullary haematopoiesis presenting as amenorrhea: Report of three cases.

Endometrial and cervical osseous metaplasia (OM) is a rare phenomenon seen mostly in reproductive age group. Patients generally present with complaints of secondary infertility. Although few cases of endometrial OM have been described in literature, to the best of our knowledge, only six cases of OM in cervix have been reported so far.

Cotyledonoid dissecting leiomyoma: an uncommon form of a common disease.

Leiomyomas are benign uterine smooth muscle neoplasms with varied morphology that are well known to undergo secondary changes. Cotyledonoid dissecting leiomyoma is a rare and distinct form of leiomyoma that poses a diagnostic challenge for clinicians, radiologists, and pathologists and can be confused with malignant uterine neoplasms. Only a few cases have been reported so far in the literature.
