Severe and Persistent Thrombocytopenia in an Adolescent Girl Following Dengue Infection Manifesting As Pulmonary Hemorrhage.

Thrombocytopenia is common in the critical phase of dengue due to decreased production from the bone marrow and increased peripheral destruction of platelets. Platelet count improves with resolution of the disease. However, further evaluation is required if thrombocytopenia persists for a longer period following dengue infection.

Squamous cell carcinoma of breast metastasising to upper lip.

Breast cancer is a heterogeneous set of carcinomas comprising a subgroup of invasive ductal carcinomas and numerous infrequent subtypes. Primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) breast is sporadic, accounting for less than 0.1% of all invasive subtypes.

Intestinal metastasis from carcinoma cervix: An (un) common occurrence in a common cancer. A series of five cases from a single institution.

Carcinoma cervix usually spreads directly to contiguous structures, such as the vagina, urinary bladder, ureter, and rectum. Intestinal metastasis from cervical cancer is very uncommon and accounts for less than 4% of cases and to date, 24 cases have been reported in Medical literature. These may be asymptomatic or present with features of intestinal obstruction, bowel wall perforation, and mimic acute abdomen.

Coronavirus Disease 2019-Associated Mucormycosis Diagnosed by Fine-Needle Aspiration Cytology.

The temporal association of mucormycosis with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been termed COVID-19-associated mucormycosis (CAM). Because of its poor prognosis, early diagnosis and treatment are crucial. Although tissue samples for culture and histological evaluation are the cornerstones of diagnosis, the role of fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and cytologic findings are also significant.

Mosquito Bite and Adnexal Mass: The Unusual Diagnosis of Ovarian Filariasis.

Lymphatic filariasis is a major health problem in tropical regions especially in India. A large number of patients tend to be asymptomatic. Ovarian filariasis is an extremely rare manifestation of lymphatic filariasis.

Borderline serous ovarian neoplasm: case report of a diagnostic challenge in intraoperative frozen sections.

Surface epithelial tumors of the ovary account for 25% of all ovarian neoplasms. When composed predominantly of fibrous stroma, with glands and cysts forming a minor component, their appearance on imaging is often complex; cystic- to solid-appearing masses often raise suspicion of a malignant tumor. An accurate frozen histopathological diagnosis of a benign cystadenofibroma of this tumor can facilitate appropriate surgical management.

Idiopathic Tumoral Calcinosis - Rare Clinico Pathological Entity: A Report of Two Cases.

Tumoral calcinosis is a rare disease reported mainly in blacks of tropical and subtropical African regions. It is characterized by tumour-like periarticular deposits of calcium that are found in the regions of the hip, shoulder, elbow and small joints of hands and feet. The involvement of this disease in a healthy patient is extremely rare in young and middle aged individuals.

Primary Pulmonary Primitive Neuro-Ectodermal Tumour (PNET) in an Eight-Year-Old Girl - A Rare Case.

Primitive Neuro-Ectodermal-Tumours (PNET) and Ewing's sarcoma are part of the spectrum of Ewing's Family of Tumours (EFT) and show varying degrees of neuroectodermal differentiation. Both these tumours share similar histological and genetic features. PNETs arising primarily in the lungs without pleural or chest wall involvement are extremely rare.

Central nervous system blast crisis in chronic myeloid leukemia on imatinib mesylate therapy: report of two cases.

Chronic myeloid leukaemia is a chronic myeloproliferative disorder characterised by a reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22 and thereby formation of the Philadelphia chromosome. Imatinib mesylate (STI-571) is a potent and selective inhibitor of BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase and has emerged as a treatment of choice in chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) patients in chronic phase. It has shown activity in CML patients in the chronic phase or blastic phase.
