Phaeohyphomycosis: A 10-Year Study From a Tertiary Care Centre in South India.

Background Phaeohyphomycosis, a fungal infection caused by dematiaceous fungi, presents a significant health challenge affecting both immunocompromised and immunocompetent individuals. Despite its clinical importance, phaeohyphomycosis remains underrepresented in epidemiological studies, leading to gaps in our understanding of its prevalence, clinical manifestations, and associated risk factors. This retrospective study conducted in South India aims to address these gaps by examining the incidence, diverse clinical presentations, and other relevant epidemiological aspects of phaeohyphomycosis in patients referred for pathological examination.

Correlation of Histopathology and Radiological Findings Among the Diverse Breast Lesions in a Tertiary Care Centre.

The triple test includes clinical examination, imaging (mammogram or ultrasonogram), and tissue sampling (fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and core needle biopsy).
