Mucor can infect different systems of the body and manifest differently depending on the location of the infection, which includes pulmonary, gastrointestinal, rhino-cerebral, and cutaneous.

Human Epidermal Growth Factor 2 (Her-2) Expression in Gastric and Gastroesophageal Carcinomas: A Clinicopathological Evaluation in a Tertiary Care Institute.

Introduction Gastric carcinoma is a significant global health concern, known for its high mortality rate. HER-2 overexpression is observed in a notable proportion of gastric carcinoma and is associated with a worse prognosis. However, HER-2 expression enables targeting the protein by monoclonal antibodies that improve overall survival in HER-2-positive gastric cancers.

Effectuation of International Academy of Cytology Yokahama Reporting System of Breast Cytology to Assess Malignancy Risk and Accuracy.

Introduction: Recently the International Academy of Cytology (IAC) proposed a new Yokahama reporting system for breast fine-needle aspiration cytology (2019) in order to standardize reporting pattern and to link cytology reporting to management algorithms.

Aims And Objectives: To categorize the samples according to the newly proposed IAC Yokahama reporting system of breast cytology and to assess diagnostic accuracy and corresponding risk of malignancy (ROM) for each category.

Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective study of breast cytology cases done at Department of Pathology.
