Tumor Budding in Invasive Breast Carcinoma, No Special Type: Association With Pathological Prognostic Factors and Comparison of 2 Different Scoring Systems.

In contrast to colorectal carcinoma, the significance of tumor budding in breast carcinoma is not established. The X20 objective which is used to assess tumor budding in colorectal carcinoma, is not widely available in countries with limited resources. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of tumor budding and its associations with pathological prognostic factors in invasive breast carcinoma-no special type (IBC-NST), and to assess the correlation between the tumor budding observed using ×20 and ×40 objectives.

Abdominal actinomycosis mimicking a transverse colon malignancy: a case report and review of the literature.

Background: Actinomycosis is a rare inflammatory bacterial disease caused by Actinomyces species which can infrequently affect the large intestine. Disseminated actinomycosis is reported as a rare complication associated with intrauterine devices. We report a case of intra-abdominal actinomycosis mimicking a transverse colon malignancy.

Apoplexy of Crooke cell tumour leading to the diagnosis of severe Cushing disease; a case report.

Background: Patients with Crooke cell tumours present with features of Cushing syndrome or mass effect. There are few reports of patients with Crooke cell tumours presenting due to apoplexy. All of them had silent tumours.

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis and first successful whole lung lavage in Sri Lanka: a case report.

Background: Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is a rare disease characterized by accumulation of lipoproteinaceous material within alveoli. There are three clinically distinct forms: congenital, acquired and secondary. Whole lung lavage is currently the gold standard therapy for severe cases of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis.
