Hysteropathological Correlation in Abnormal Uterine Bleeding in a Tertiary Care Hospital in South India.

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding is a common problem mainly encountered in reproductive age group and post-menopausal women. Hysteroscopy is a safe, simple, well tolerated and reliable procedure for the diagnosis of AUB across all age groups. The aim of the study is to determine the association of hysteroscopy and histopathologic examination (HPE) findings in abnormal uterine bleeding.

Binucleate Cells in Cytosmears: What do They Signify?

Background: Although the classic Reed-Sternberg (RS) cell is considered a diagnostic of Hodgkin's disease, RS-like cells have been noted in various benign and malignant conditions. The presence of these cells can be a diagnostic challenge.

Aims: Our aim was to see if cells morphologically resembling or identical to RS cells occur in conditions other than Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and what proportion of cases show binucleate cells in various benign and malignant conditions.

Intracranial bony ball - An ossified variant of meningioma.

An ossified variant of meningioma in the intracranial region is very rare. We report a case of a 28-year-old female who presented with headache for 4 years. Imaging revealed an extra-axial calcified mass in the left parieto-occipital lobe.

Median raphe cyst of the penis: A startling diagnosis for the unaccustomed clinician.

Penile median raphe cysts are uncommon lesions occurring predominantly in the ventral aspect of the glans penis of young men. In most patients, the cysts, which are asymptomatic or unrecognized during childhood, may progress later and become symptomatic during adolescence or adulthood. A differential diagnosis must be made from other penile skin lesions such as glomus tumors, dermoid cysts, pilonidal cysts, epidermal inclusion cysts, urethral diverticula, and steatocystomas that originate in the genital region.
