Clear cell carcinoma of the breast with immunohistochemical evidence of divergent differentiation.

Primary clear cell carcinoma of the breast is a rare tumor. The clear cell morphology of the neoplastic population in these tumors has been ascribed to the presence of intracellular lipid, mucin or glycogen, or to myoepithelial, apocrine, or neuroendocrine differentiation. However, a clear cell neoplasm exhibiting evidence of a range of differentiation has not been previously reported.

Patterns of trauma injuries in rural versus urban Jamaica.

Trauma admissions to St Ann's Bay Hospital in rural Jamaica and The University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI) in the capital city of Kingston are compared. Trauma accounted for 19% and 22% of surgical admissions to UHWI and the St Ann's Bay Hospital, respectively. Sixty-three per cent of trauma cases admitted to the St Ann's Bay Hospital and 56% to the UHWI were due to unintentional injuries (95% CI, -0.

Adenosquamous carcinoma of the stomach. With a note on pathogenesis.

A case of the rare adenosquamous carcinoma of the stomach is presented. This unusual type of stomach tumour is the first such case to be reported in Jamaica and in the Commonwealth Caribbean. We provide evidence in support of the metaplastic derivation of the squamous component from an existing adenocarcinoma.
