Advanced female urethral adenocarcinoma: A case report.

Urethral cancer in females is a rare occurrence. Although initially believed to be derived from skene glands, there is no consensus on the cell of origin. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common, whereas adenocarcinoma is the least common.

Margin status, adjuvant treatment and recurrence in buccal cancer.

Objective: To assess the prognostic importance of margin in resected buccal cancer within a framework of risk factor-driven postoperative adjuvant treatment.

Materials And Methods: Consecutive, treatment naïve patients undergoing primary surgical treatment for buccal cancer. Margin was defined as clear (≥5 mm), close (1-4 mm) and involved (<1 mm).

Mucormycosis: an unusual masquerader of an endobronchial tumour.

Pulmonary mucormycosis is a life-threatening invasive fungal infection usually seen in the background of immunosuppression, haematological malignancies, or uncontrolled diabetes. Immunocompetent hosts can also be affected. Isolated endobronchial mucormycosis is rare with only a few cases reported in the literature.

'Ease of interpretation' of cytological smears stained with modified ultrafast papanicolaou stain: Interobserver agreement and reproducibility.

Background: Since its inception in 1995, the Ultrafast Papanicoloau (UFPAP) cytological stain has undergone a number of modifications to suit the local availability of reagents and cost in different set ups. However, the reported results have been uniformly encouraging. We designed a study to investigate the inter-observer agreement in 'perceived ease of interpretation' of cytological smears stained with Modified Ultrafast Papanicoloau stain (MUFPAP).

Syringocystadenocarcinoma papilliferum with coexisting trichoblastoma: A case report with review of literature.

We present a unique case of syringocystadenoma with malignant transformation into syringocystadenocarcinoma papilliferum and coexisting trichoblastoma arising de novo in a scalp swelling of long duration in a 78-year-old woman. Syringocystadenocarcinoma papilliferum was described by the World Health Organization as an extremely rare malignant adnexal tumor of apocrine origin with varied histology with some cases reported in literature.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Cervix with Superficial Intraepithelial Extension to the Endometrium of Lower Uterine Segment: A Rare Presentation.

Carcinoma of the cervix is the most common malignancy in women in India. Squamous cell carcinoma accounts for more than 70% of the cervical malignancies. Carcinoma of the cervix generally invades the uterine wall by direct extension with or without parametrial involvement, however, rarely can spread superficially to the inner surface of the uterus replacing the endometrium.

Synchronous Malignant Phyllodes Tumor with Skin Ulceration and Invasive Carcinoma as Collision Tumor.

Phyllodes tumor is a rare fibroepithelial biphasic tumor of the breast composed of hypercellular mesenchymal stroma and double-layered epithelial component, arranged in clefts with leaf-like projections. Phyllodes tumor with coincidental presence of invasive carcinoma or ductal carcinoma in the same or distinct breast is a rare occurrence, documented by some reports. Invasive carcinoma can be seen within or outside the phyllodes tumor.

FNA diagnosis of osteoclast-like giant cell tumor of the pancreas.

Osteoclast-like giant cell tumor of the pancreas is a rare non-endocrine neoplasm composed of reactive multinucleated giant cells admixed with mononuclear stromal cells. We report a case of osteoclast-like giant cell tumor of the pancreas in a 58-year-old female with vague clinical symptoms. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided aspirate from the mass revealed numerous characteristic osteoclast-like giant cells.
