Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a gradually progressing type of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), distinguished by its characteristic follicular pattern of growth and a typically indolent clinical course. It is identified by the abnormal growth of B-cells in the lymph nodes. We report a case of a 45-year-old female who came up with complaints of heavy menstrual bleeding and easy fatiguability.

- Hansen's disease, or leprosy, primarily affects individuals with a weakened T-cell immune response, leading to symptoms like red to brown nodules on the skin, particularly on the face and ear areas.
- A unique case involved a 40-year-old man who presented with fever and altered mental status, which is atypical for leprosy.
- Diagnosis was made through bone marrow aspiration, which is uncommon since leprosy is usually confirmed via skin biopsy, and instances of lepra bacilli in bone marrow are rarely documented.
Article Synopsis
- - Mature teratoma is a benign tumor that contains various tissue types from the three primary germ layers: mesoderm, ectoderm, and endoderm.
- - This report details a rare case of a lactating adenoma developing from a mature teratoma in a pregnant woman, making it the fifth known case globally and the first to present both choroidal plexus and lactating adenoma findings.
- - The tumor measured 10x7x5 cm, displaying mixed solid and cystic areas with features of mammary tissue, confirmed through immunohistochemistry which showed positivity for estrogen and progesterone receptors, indicating hyperplastic changes in ducts and acini.
Article Synopsis
- Myxoid pleomorphic liposarcoma (MPLPS) is a rare form of liposarcoma recently added to medical literature, typically arising from adipose tissue in extremities and retroperitoneum.
- Paratesticular liposarcomas are particularly uncommon, and MPLPS often occurs in the mediastinum, but can also affect limbs and regions like the head and neck.
- The case study describes a 50-year-old male with a swelling in the right inguinal area, diagnosed with MPLPS after an orchidectomy and subsequent histopathological analysis, marking the first reported instance of this condition affecting the spermatic cord.
Background Cervical carcinoma is one of the most prevalent cancers affecting women worldwide. Studies on Ki-67 expression in cervical lesions had focused mainly on the intraepithelial lesions of the cervix and not much on invasive carcinomas. The few studies published so far on Ki-67 expression in invasive cervical carcinomas have shown inconsistent results on the association of Ki-67 with various clinicopathological prognostic factors.

Although there are various risk factors in the literature, the established primary risk factor for oral cancer is tobacco and betal-nut chewing habits. It is believed that pathogenesis of oral cancer depends on the aetiology. To assess the histopathological grade and Ki-67 expression in tobacco (smoking/smokeless) and non-tobacco (betal nut/pan masala) habitual buccal mucosa cancer.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Although advance techniques were available for diagnosis and prognosis of oral cancer, histopathology was used as major method in clinical routine. Of all oral subsites, buccal mucosa squamous cell carcinoma is aggressive in nature with poor survival. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the relation of tumor histopathological grade with disease recurrence of buccal squamous cell mucosa carcinoma.

Recently, areca nut (non tobacco) chewing habits have increased among young adults resulting in high morbidity and mortality. Thus, there is need to understand role of aetiology and risk of disease.
