Ileo-dermoid Fistula: A Rare Presentation of Ovarian Dermoid.

Mature cystic teratoma is a benign ovarian tumor that usually presents in reproductive-age females. This tumor usually presents with pain abdomen, bloating, and a lump. Hereby, we describe a case of an ovarian dermoid presented with features of intestinal obstruction secondary to ileo-dermoid fistula formation.

Primary soft tissue sarcoma breast with multiphenotypic differentiation.

Primary soft tissue sarcomas of the breast are rare aggressive neoplasms. These often are misdiagnosed with other more common neoplasms like fibroepithelial malignancies, namely phyllodes tumour and metaplastic carcinoma. Being uncommon, chances of being misdiagnosed are higher leading to early mortality.

Vascular tumors of the liver: A brief review.

Vascular tumors of the liver are mesenchymal lesions from endothelial cells. They range from common benign lesions such as haemangioma, intermediate tumors like Kaposi sarcoma, and perivascular epithelioid cell tumor to malignant tumors such as hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma and hepatic angiosarcoma in adults. Pediatric vascular tumors of the liver also include benign, locally aggressive, borderline, and malignant masses with haemangiomas being the most common benign tumors and epithelioid hemangioendothelioma being an uncommon pediatric malignancy.

Thoracoscopy-Assisted Esophagectomy for Esophageal Leiomyomatosis.

Introduction: Diffuse esophageal leiomyomatosis is a rare esophageal tumor characterized by circumferential thickening of smooth muscle layers of the entire esophagus. CLINICAL CASE: Herein, we describe the case of a 19-year-old girl, who presented with a history of long-standing dysphagia. On evaluation she was found to have diffuse esophageal leiomyomatosis and was managed successfully by thoracoscopy-assisted esophagectomy with intra-nodal indocyanine green injection.

Apocrine adenocarcinoma of the breast: A rare special subtype with divergent theranostic markers.

Carcinoma of the breast with apocrine differentiation also known as apocrine adenocarcinomas is special histological subtypes comprising approximately 1% of breast cancers. They are estrogen receptor/progesterone receptor-negative and androgen receptor-positive tumors having more than 90% population of tumor cells with apocrine morphology. We present a 49-year-old woman with a breast lump in the right upper outer quadrant clinically and radiologically diagnosed as malignancy and histologically proven as apocrine adenocarcinoma of the breast owing to the morphology comprising tumor cells having abundant granular cytoplasm, central to the eccentric nucleus and prominent nucleoli.

Primary Synovial Chondromatosis of the Ankle in a Child: A Rare Case Presentation and Review of Literature.

Introduction: Synovial chondromatosis is not a common condition and involvement of the ankle joint is quite rare. We found only one case of synovial chondromatosis of the ankle joint among the pediatric population. We present a case of a 9-year-old boy with synovial chondromatosis of the left ankle.

Focal Cortical Dysplasia with hippocampal sclerosis.

Focal Cortical Dysplasia (FCD) is a group of focal developmental malformations of the cerebral cortex cytoarchitecture. FCD usually manifests as medically intractable epilepsy, especially in young children. Live patients are diagnosed by radiological examination such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET), magnetoencephalography (MEG), diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI), and intracranial electroencephalogram (EEG).

Heterotopic Pancreas Mimicking Metastases From Renal Carcinoma: A Rare Differential.

Heterotopic pancreas, also known as ectopic or aberrant pancreas, is described as the deposits of normal pancreatic tissue "dropped" into the developing gastrointestinal system. Here we present an operated case of renal clear cell carcinoma, which on 6-month follow-up presented with eccentric mass in the gastric body suspicious for malignancy. Endoscopic biopsy was inconclusive and showed isometabolism on 18F-FDG PET/CT.

Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the Umbilical Region in a Pediatric Patient.

Fibrous tumors are rare tumors of mesenchymal origin arising in the serosal surfaces within the body. Although commonly seen in adults, solitary fibrous tumors rarely occur in children. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry are the methods of choice for diagnosing solitary fibrous tumors.

Left-Sided Colonic Tuberculosis Presenting as Colonic Stricture: A Rare Presentation of a Common Disease.

Gastrointestinal tuberculosis (TB) mainly presents as an ileocecal disease, and colonic TB is more often seen with terminal ileal involvement. Isolated involvement of the descending colon by TB is uncommon and usually presents with chronic colitis. An acute presentation as intestinal obstruction because of tubercular stricture of the descending colon has not been reported.

Crosstalk Between Programmed Death Ligand 1, Ki-67 Labelling Index, and Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes in Invasive Breast Cancer and Clinicopathological Correlations in a Tertiary Care Center in Western India.

Background & Objective: Breast cancer is the leading cancer among Indian women and accounts for about 25% of all cancer cases worldwide. The present study aimed to assess Programmed Death Ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression in tumoral cells and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and evaluate their correlations with the Ki-67 labelling index in invasive breast carcinomas (IBC).

Methods: This descriptive observational study was conducted during 2016-2018 and included all diagnosed cases of IBC.

Death due to extensive aortic dissection with an unusual retrograde extension in a young adult.

Aortic dissection usually manifests in older individuals. It is a rare cause of sudden death in the age group <35 years. Compared to older age groups, this age range is likely to have distinct clinical and pathologic features, uncommon risk factors, and an unusual presentation.

Clinical triad with multi-biopsy histopathology as a reliable diagnostic marker of mycetomas: a retrospective review from a tertiary care center.

Background: Mycetoma is a neglected tropical infectious disease which runs a prolonged and protracted course. Microbiological confirmation is diagnostic yet unreliable due to poor sensitivity and variable availability of culture facilities in resource poor settings.

Methods: A retrospective review was performed on electronic records (histopathology, microbiology, and radiology) of all patients who underwent skin biopsies with mycetoma as one of the clinical differential diagnoses from year 2016 to 2020.

A lumpy bumpy stomach: The more the murkier.

This report describes the radiological and endoscopic findings in a 54-year-old male who presented with epigastric pain. The patient underwent an upper gastrointestinal (GI) barium study followed by axial imaging, which demonstrated nodular gastric wall thickening. The classic findings of aggressive primary gastric diffuse large B-Cell lymphoma are presented with a brief review differentiating the pathological subtypes, important for patient prognostication and planning of therapy.

Tubulocystic Renal Cell Carcinoma: An Underrecognized Clinicopathologic Entity.

Tubulocystic renal cell carcinoma is a lesser-known neoplastic entity compared to other common histologic variants of renal cell carcinoma. The World Health Organization identified tubulocystic renal cell carcinoma as a newly recognized renal tumor in 2016. We report a case of tubulocystic renal cell carcinoma in a young adult.

Splenic Infarct as the Presenting Manifestation of Essential Thrombocythemia.

Essential thrombocythemia is a chronic myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by thrombotic and hemorrhagic complications. Essential thrombocythemia can be considered a risk factor for thrombotic events. A 34-year-old female presented with sudden onset of abdominal pain from splenic infarction for which she underwent splenectomy.
