Primary Angiosarcoma of Breast: a Case Series of Rare Disease.

Primary angiosarcoma of breast (PAB) is a very rare disease and it accounts for only 0.05% of all malignant breast tumors. We present the clinical radiological and pathological features, treatment given, and outcome of this rare disease in our institute in a period of 5 years, aiming at contributing to the knowledge of prognostic factors of this rare disease.

Diagnostic accuracy of intra-operative assessment of de-epithelisation of the malleus by the surgeon in type 1 tympanoplasty compared to histopathological examination.

Objective: This study was undertaken to determine the accuracy of the surgeon's assessment in detecting epithelial remnants over the malleus after de-epithelisation in tympanoplasty.

Methods: Intra-operatively, the umbo was assessed for epithelial remnants with the microscope. The umbo was then resected and sent for histopathological examination to detect epithelial remnants.

Sarcomatoid Carcinoma of Renal Pelvis Involving Ureter and Renal Parenchyma with Heterologous Osteosarcomatous Differentiation: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Sarcomatoid carcinoma is a highgrade rare malignant tumor with both epithelial and mesenchymal components. Sarcomatoid carcinoma in the upper urinary tract is very rare. We reported here a case of sarcomatoid carcinoma of renal pelvis with osteosarcomatous differentiation, with involvement of the ureter and renal parenchyma in a 68-year-old female.

Verrucous Onychomycosis Caused by in a Patient with Congenital Pterygium.

A 57 year healthy farmer with congenital nail pterygium presented with a verrucous growth on nail bed since 8 months. He was not diabetic and HIV rapid card test negative. Our clinical diagnosis was chromoblastomycosis but culture showed growth of curvularia species on two occasions and histopathology showed hyphal and yeast forms of the pigmented fungus.

Atypical Manifestations of Leprosy - A Case Series.

Atypical manifestations are not rare in leprosy and they may present diagnostic challenges. We report a series of five cases having atypical presentations. First case presented with an asymptomatic buccal lesion and later developed skin lesions.

Pseudoactinomycotic Radiate Granules (PAMRAGs)- An Unusual Differential Diagnosis for Ovarian Neoplasm; A Diagnostic Dilemma.

Pseudoactinomycotic radiate granules (PAMRAGs) are rarely detected lesions in ovary. Endometrium is the usual site and a detailed search of literature yielded only two cases in the ovary. PAMRAGs must be differentiated from actinomycotic granules which are also strongly associated with the use of intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUCDs).

Anaplastic myeloma presenting as mandibular swelling: Diagnosis by cytology.

Multiple myeloma is a disease resulting from clonal proliferation of plasma cells. A disease of the elderly, jaw lesions are seen in 14% of patients affected with myeloma. Rarely the oral and maxillofacial lesions can be the first manifestation of the disease.

Microfilaria in lymph node mimicking Kimura disease.

In tropical and subtropical countries, parasitic infections are very rampant causing peripheral blood and or tissue eosinophilia. Here, a case of microfilaria in lymph node that produced intense eosinophil infiltrate is being reported. The dense eosinophil collection in the lymph node raised a possibility of Kimura's disease because no worms were seen in the initial sectioning of the tissue.
