Article Synopsis
- This study validated the effectiveness of DFS (direct fast scarlet) staining for diagnosing eosinophilic colitis (EC) by comparing it with standard HE (hematoxylin and eosin) staining among 50 EC patients and 60 control subjects.
- Results showed a significant difference in eosinophil counts between EC and controls in the right hemi-colon but not in the left, where DFS staining proved crucial for identifying degranulated eosinophils, enhancing diagnostic accuracy.
- The study suggests that using DFS staining can improve the diagnosis of EC, especially in challenging areas like the left hemi-colon, where traditional methods fell short.
Ovarian carcinosarcoma is a rare and aggressive tumor with a poor prognosis. We report a case of ovarian carcinosarcoma and also review the literature. In 2000, a 63-year-old woman underwent optimal cytoreductive surgery for ovarian carcinosarcoma( International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics[FIGO]stage III c[pT3cN0M0]).
