Estimation of Serum MicroRNA 21 as a Tumour Marker in Carcinoma Oesophagus.

Worldwide, carcinoma of the oesophagus is the sixth leading reason for deaths due to malignancy. MicroRNAs (MiRs) are a cluster of small non-coding RNAs that have potent stability in stored RNA samples. This strengthens their potential as biomarkers.

A Rare Case of Epithelioid Angiosarcoma Exhibiting Diagnostic Ambiguity.

Epithelioid angiosarcoma is a rare highly malignant tumor characterized by large cells with epithelioid features mimicking poorly differentiated carcinoma by its epithelial appearance. It arises from deep soft tissues of extremities or a variety of primary sites including thyroid, skin, and adrenals. Here is a case of epithelioid angiosarcoma of a 48-year-old female who presented with right supraclavicular swelling since 2 months of size 2 × 3 cm which was fixed, firm in consistency with no significant past, family, and personal history.

Unusual presentation of immature teratoma of the neck: A rare case report.

Cervical region teratoma is a rare disease, accounting for 3-5% of all teratomas in the children. Teratomas of the head and neck due to their obscure origin, unpredictable behavior, and often manifest as a clinical surprise. Airway obstruction is the most serious postnatal complication of cervical teratoma.

Lymphoepithelioma-like Carcinoma of Endometrium; A Rare Case Report.

Lymphoepithelioma -like carcinomas (LELCs) are tumors with histological features similar to those of lymphoepithelioma of nasopharynx. They have been described in many organs including female genital tract. Their histology is characterized by sheets, nests and cords of large syncytial tumor cells containing round nuclei with prominent nucleoli and dense lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate in the stoma.

Primary mucinous carcinoma of buccal mucosa: a rare case report.

Minor salivary gland tumors of oral cavity are very rarely encountered in day-to-day practice. Mucinous adenocarcinoma is very rare, and is commonly seen in elderly males. Palate and buccal mucosa is the commonest site.

Mucoepidermoid lung carcinoma in child.

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is a rare malignant tumor arising from the bronchial gland. A case of 6-year-old male child who presented with fever, hemoptysis and wheezing since 1month is reported. Chest X-ray showed features suggestive of foreign body with post-obstructive pneumonia and was treated for the same with medication without much improvement.

Evaluation of the Truview™ EVO2 laryngoscope for nasotracheal intubation.

Background: The Truview™ EVO2 laryngoscope, with its unique optical lens system and blade tip angulation, has proved its usefulness in providing adequate laryngeal exposure and intubation via the oral route. However, the same has not been evaluated for nasotracheal intubation.

Aim: We evaluated the suitability of the Truview™ EVO2 laryngoscope for nasotracheal intubation.

Primary amelanotic melanoma of vulva in a young, lactating female.

Primary amelanotic melanoma of the vulva is extremely rare and it is a unique variant which is difficult to differentiate from other epithelial and nonepithelial malignancies due to absence of melanin pigmentation. It can be easily mistaken for other malignancies both clinically and pathologically. The difficulties in diagnosis and treatment aggravate the poor prognosis.

Rare case of extraskeletal Ewings sarcoma of the sinonasal tract.

Ewings sarcoma (ES) and primitive neuroectodermal tumor are closely related family of small round cell tumors seen in childhood and adolescence. The incidence of these tumors occurring in the head and neck region is just 2-7%. Mandible and maxilla are the most common sites, whereas involvement of the sinonasal tract is very rare.

Synchronous bilateral medullary carcinoma of breast: is it metastasis or second primary?

Bilateral breast cancer is a rare event accounting for 2-5% of all breast malignancies. A second tumor in contralateral breast may be either synchronous or metachronous lesion. Synchronous bilateral invasive ductal carcinoma is known but medullary carcinoma is rare.

Two cases of eosinophilic variant chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, with a rare association of right atrial myxoma in one of them.

Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma is a relatively uncommon variant of renal cell carcinoma. Eosinophilic variant of chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (EVCRCC) is still less frequent and is composed predominantly of small to medium-sized cells with abundant granular eosinophilic cytoplasm. We report two cases of EVCRCC, with one having a rare association of right atrial myxoma.

Uncommon manifestations of Endocervical Malignant Mixed Mullerian Tumor with Incidental Bilateral Fallopian Tube Carcinoma.

A 43-year-old perimenopausal lady presented with bleeding per vagina and lower abdominal pain. On evaluation, she had cervical polyp, which expelled spontaneously during the per speculum examination. Histopathology revealed malignant mixed Mullerian tumor.

A Rare Case of Fungal Maxillary Sinusitis due to Paecilomyces lilacinus in an Immunocompetent Host, Presenting as a Subcutaneous Swelling.

Paecilomyces is a colonizing fungal species which usually causes keratitis, endocarditis, sinusitis, nephritis, fungemia, cutaneous, and subcutaneous infections in immunocompromised host. Very rarely, it causes similar infection in immunocompetent host without any risk factors. We report a case of maxillary sinusitis due to Paecilomyces lilacinus in a 65-year-old immunocompetent male, who presented with a subcutaneous swelling below the left eye.
