Peripheral blood smear - An expeditious test in the preliminary diagnosis of bone marrow embolism in a case of multiple fractures: A case report.

Bone marrow embolism is known to occur after fractures of long bones such as the femur and pelvis. We report a case of multiple fractures in a 32-year-old female patient, demonstrating bone marrow elements in the peripheral blood as early as 2 hours after trauma. This is the first case being reported with an ante-mortem demonstration of circulating marrow emboli in the peripheral blood, while the previously reported cases have demonstrated the emboli in post-mortem examination.

Thrombotic microangiopathy with pulmonary hemorrhage: A rare case report.

Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) includes various diseases with different etiologies which ultimately results in endothelial damage to the small vasculature leading to thrombosis in the micro vessels, this causes mechanical hemolysis, thrombocytopenia due to platelet consumption and ischemic organ damage. Untreated cases carry high mortality, so identifying the cause for TMA assumes importance. We report a 47-year old hypertensive lady presenting with accelerated hypertension (HTN) and TMA picture with rapidly progressive renal failure.

Evaluation of Nuclear Morphometry and Ki-67 Index in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinomas: a Five-Year Study.

Background And Objective: Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (CCRCC) is the most common adult renal neoplasm. Staging and grading of RCC are important predictors of survival. Fuhrman nuclear grading is widely used for CCRCC, the subjective nature of which has prompted more objective methods to evaluate nuclear features.

Neonatal Intramural Calcification in Jejunal Atresia: Case Report of a Rare Phenomenon.

Intramural calcification in intestinal atresia is a rare type of intra-abdominal calcification. The exact etiology of intramural calcification remains obscure. A 1-day-old newborn male baby presented with signs of intestinal obstruction and was diagnosed to have jejunal atresia.

Fine needle aspiration cytology of solitary fibrous tumor of the orbit.

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a distinct and a rare spindle cell neoplasm, commonly known to occur in the pleura and other serosal sites. With the advent of immunohistochemistry, varied extraserosal sites are being recognized as common locations for this rare tumor. We report a case of SFT in a 50-year-old male patient who presented with multiple swellings in the eyelid, with emphasis on the cytological features.
