Article Synopsis
- CCAM (Congenital Cystic Adenomatoid Malformations) are rare lung anomalies resulting from developmental issues in the bronchial tree during the first trimester, commonly leading to symptoms like recurrent pneumonia and breathing difficulties.
- The study analyzed 21 patients, mostly under 2 years old, focusing on their clinical profiles, histological classifications (with Type 1 being the most prevalent), and outcomes post-surgery, where all patients survived and experienced low rates of respiratory infections.
- Findings indicate that early surgical intervention is crucial for managing CCAM and improving patient outcomes, with no malignant transformations observed in the cases studied.
Article Synopsis
- Schwannomas are non-cancerous tumors that develop from Schwann cells in the nerve sheath and can occur anywhere in the body.
- The study focuses on five cases of lung schwannoma, highlighting the challenges in diagnosing these tumors, particularly in uncommon locations.
- Diagnosis relies on specific immuno-histochemical markers, and accurately identifying these tumors can improve pre-operative evaluations and surgical outcomes for patients.
Objectives: We aimed to histopathologically evaluate the morphological spectrum, apoptotic index (AI), and mitotic index (MI) of endometrial lesions in patients presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB).
Methods: A cross-sectional study was done over a period of 18 months where a total of 60 newly diagnosed cases of perimenopausal women presenting with AUB were included. All H and E stained pathology slides from the specimens were reviewed for initial histopathological evaluation and diagnosis.
