Leukaemic Transformation of Multiple Myeloma in Post Chemotherapy Remission Phase.

Plasma cell leukaemia is diagnosed when plasma cells are >20% in the peripheral blood. Plasma cell leukaemia may be present at the time of diagnosis (primary plasma cell leukaemia) or may evolve from multiple myeloma (secondary plasma cell leukaemia). We report case of a 62-year-old male who was diagnosed with multiple myeloma.

Extracting a large live freely floating cysticercosis cyst from the anterior chamber of the eye using visco expression technique: A case report.

Helicobacter pylori in areas of gastric metaplasia in the gallbladder and isolation of H. pylori DNA from gallstones.

Aims: To assess if the areas of gastric metaplasia in the gallbladder are colonised by Helicobacter pylori and to conduct a molecular study of gallstones for presence of H. pylori DNA.

Methods: Sections from 111 gallbladders with evidence of gastric metaplasia on H&E and Alcian blue-periodic acid-Schiff (pH 2.
