Role of histopathology in diagnosis of ovarian neoplasms: Our experience in a Tertiary Care Hospital of Kolkata, West Bengal, India.

Context: Ovarian tumours are known to be diverse biologically, varying from non-malignant to malignant tumours having implication on course of the management and prognosis. To address the paucity of such study on ovarian neoplasm from our region of West Bengal, we planned and executed this study. The aim of the study was to analyse the distribution of various ovarian tumours and classify them according to the biological behaviour, age, laterality, and mode of the presentation.

Role of image-guided fine needle aspiration cytology of lung lesions in diagnosis and primary care of patients: Experience in a Government Medical College of Eastern India.

Context: Lung cancer is the most common cancer affecting males worldwide. Its incidence in females is also on an increasing trend. Other conditions affecting lung-like tuberculosis are on a rise in middle-east countries due to overcrowding and poor living conditions.

Hepatitis C Virus: Unnoticed and on the Rise in Blood Donor Screening? A 5 Years Cross-sectional Study on Seroprevalence in Voluntary Blood Donors from Central India.

Context: The ultimate goal of a blood transfusion service is the provision of safe and adequate supply free from transfusion-transmitted infections (TTIs). TTIs not only threaten the recipient's safety, but they also increase disease burden. Seroprevalence of TTIs in healthy blood donors indirectly reflects the prevalence of these infections in the general healthy population.

Raised adenosine deaminase in the cerebrospinal fluid: A tool for the diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis in developing countries.

Context: The rapid diagnosis followed by the early treatment of tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is important in preventing fatal outcomes. The mainstay of diagnosis lies in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis, radiological investigations, and clinical findings.

Aim: The present study was conducted to determine the efficacy, sensitivity, and specificity of raised adenosine deaminase (ADA) level in CSF to differentiate TBM from non-TBM cases as a rapid, cost-effective, and noninvasive test.

Histopathological Trends of Testicular Neoplasm: An Experience over a Decade in a Tertiary Care Centre in the Malwa Belt of Central India.

Introduction: Testicular and para-testicular neoplasm are rare type of tumours affecting adolescents and young adults, reflected by the paucity of published data in India.

Aim: This study was undertaken to estimate the epidemiological characteristics and histological types and subtypes of testicular neoplasm according to the WHO classification in our patient group. Identification of histopathological pattern of testicular tumour is immensely important for improved management protocols.

Massive ovarian edema: A case report presenting as a diagnostic dilemma.

Massive ovarian edema is a rare clinical entity, posing a significant clinical challenge as it can be easily mistaken for neoplasm. Our case was a 20-year-old young woman who presented with a self-limiting episode of abdominal pain along with large solid pelvis mass. On physical examination, she had abdominal tenderness with guarding.

Role of radiological-assisted cytology in intra-abdominal lesions: A 3 years' experience in a tertiary care center.

Background: Fine needle aspiration (FNA) with assistance of radiological tools such as ultrasonography (USG) and computed tomography (CT) is an effective and safe technique for diagnosing intra-abdominal neoplastic and nonneoplastic lesions.

Aims And Objectives: (1) To assess the utility of image-guided cytology in the diagnosis of intra-abdominal lesions. (2) To categorize various intra-abdominal lesions according to their site of occurrence and study their cytomorphological features.

Reconstruction in oral malignancy: Factors affecting morbidity of various procedures.

Aims And Objective: (1) To study the age and sex distribution of patient with oral malignancies. (2) To analyze various types of surgery performed. (3) Evaluation of reconstruction and factors affecting complications and its relation to the type of reconstruction.

Spectrum of second primary malignant neoplasms in central india: case series from a tertiary care centre.

Background: Cancer survivors are at an increased risk for developing second cancers than the general population. In recent times detection of a new second primary following the index primary has increased due to refinement of existing diagnostic tools and development of newer modalities of diagnosis combined with better understanding of patterns of inheritance, risk factors and environmental influences. Today with improvement in Cancer management the average lifespan of cancer survivors have increased along with the increase in detection of both synchronous and metachronous malignancy with increase in disease free survival.
