Primary Amyloidosis - In a Case with Normal Plasma Cell Counts.

Amyloidosis is a group of disease that is characterized by the deposition of extracellular abnormal proteinaceous material (amyloid), in various organs. Amyloidosis involving the liver is common and the radiological findings are often nonspecific. We present the case of a 40-year-old female who presented with abdominal pain.

Ectopic Parathyroid Adenoma Presenting as a Mediastinal Mass.

A parathyroid adenoma present in an ectopic site, in the anterior mediastinum, is a rare cause of persistent hyperparathyroidism. Though its occurrence in the mediastinum is unusual, existence has been noted in literature for more than a century. We describe a case of a 35-year-old male presenting with complaints of pain abdomen, clinically diagnosed as acute necrotizing pancreatitis, with raised serum calcium.

A Study on Postmortem Wound Dating by Gross and Histopathological Examination of Abrasions.

Introduction: Abrasions are the most common blunt force injuries. The precise dating of injury is extremely important in forensic medicine practice. As we know, the wound healing occurs in well-orchestrated sequence, consisting of inflammation, proliferation, and maturation.

Glial heterotopia in an adult: A rare orbital mass.

Heterotopic glial tissue is very rare in the orbit. Our case was an adult, which is unique since most cases reported in literature involve children. We describe a case of a 60-year-old man who presented with an orbital mass, which histopathologically revealed heterotopic glial tissue.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the parotid metastasizing to liver: case report.

Background: Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare malignant parotid tumor. Metastasis can occur even a decade or more after initial treatment of the primary.

Case Presentation: We report a 60 year old female patient who presented with adenoid cystic carcinoma of the parotid gland.

Cytological diagnosis of nonulcerative penile neoplasms: report of two cases.

Nonulcerative penile mass lesions are rare. Pathological diagnosis of these lesions would traditionally be a biopsy. We report two such primary penile lesions which were diagnosed by fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC).
