Strongyloides stercoralis infection masquerading as malignant ascites in a case of angiosarcoma
We present a case of a 56-year-old male with a known case of angiosarcoma liver with massive ascites and low-grade fever. He was clinically diagnosed as having malignant ascites and was planned for chemotherapy. During therapeutic cum diagnostic ascitic tap, cell block sections revealed the presence of cross sections of nematode S. stercoralis gravid uterus with eggs. Later, stool for ova and cysts also revealed multiple larval forms of the nematode. S. stercoralis hyperinfection is often accompanied by sepsis or meningitis with enteric organisms. Patient was started on tab. ivermectin 12 mg once a day for two days (in the...

Papillary glioneuronal tumor: A rare case with recent updates as per 2021 CNS WHO 5th classification
Indian J Pathol Microbiol. 2024 Feb 19. doi: 10.4103/ijpm.ijpm_310_23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe papillary glioneuronal tumor is a WHO grade 1, rare neuronal-glial tumor and comprises 0.02% of all CNS tumors. Histologically, it is a mixture of glial and neuronal components showing a pseudopapillary pattern with hyalinized vessels. PGNT is considered a low-grade neoplasm, and surgical excision has been curative in most cases. In this paper, we report a new case of papillary glioneuronal tumor in a 44-year-old male having a divergent presentation, to analyze it due to the rarity of its occurrence as per the latest cl...

Direct immunofluorescence (DIF) versus immunohistochemical (IHC) staining of complements and immunoglobulins (Ig) in pemphigus group
CONCLUSION: We conclude that IHC is a useful tool in the diagnosis of PV with the highest sensitivity of IgG and C3d. The combination of IgG and C3d could replace the DIF in almost all of our cases, so IHC on FFPE sections be used as an alternative method to DIF.PMID:38427745 | DOI:10.4103/ijpm.ijpm_113_23 (Source: Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology)

Preoperative evaluation of red blood cell distribution width as a promising biomarker for discriminating between benign and malignant breast tumors and assessing breast cancer activity
CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study suggest that RDW has the potential to serve as a biomarker for assessing breast cancer activity and could offer substantial advantages in clinical contexts. The present study is not without limitations, and the authors suggest that a larger multicenter prospective study be conducted to further validate it's efficacy over an extended duration.PMID:38427746 | DOI:10.4103/ijpm.ijpm_351_23 (Source: Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology)

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNAemia in saliva of viral encephalitis and nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients
Indian J Pathol Microbiol. 2024 Feb 19. doi: 10.4103/ijpm.ijpm_356_23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEpstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a lymphotropic virus that causes diseases ranging from a flu-like illness called infectious mononucleosis to nasopharyngeal carcinoma, Burkitt's lymphoma, and central nervous system (CNS) infection. Detection of EBV DNA is usually done using whole blood samples taken from the patients. We undertook the detection of EBV in blood, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and saliva by real-time quantitative PCR in two patients, one with a history of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and the other having a case of viral ...

Primitive myxoid mesenchymal tumor of infancy, an enigmatic entity: A case report
Indian J Pathol Microbiol. 2024 Feb 19. doi: 10.4103/ijpm.ijpm_471_23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPrimitive myxoid mesenchymal tumor of infancy (PMMTI) is a rare soft tissue neoplasm of intermediate malignant potential occurring predominantly in infants and younger children. It can show aggressive local infiltration of surrounding structures and frequent relapses but rare metastasis. Morphologically, it is characterized by a proliferation of immature mesenchymal cells in a myxoid background with mild cytologic atypia and branching vessels. The tumor cells demonstrate immunoreactivity with vimentin and BCOR, however, are...

Evaluation of immunohistochemical expression of novel neuroendocrine marker INSM1 and histological tumor growth pattern in well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors of the appendix: 15-year single tertiary center experience
CONCLUSIONS: INSM1 was positive in all A-WDNET morphological patterns and was 100% sensitive. INSM1 IHC can be used as an alternative to traditional neuroendocrine markers or in combination with the diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumors.PMID:38427752 | DOI:10.4103/ijpm.ijpm_514_23 (Source: Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology)

Alpha-fetoprotein producing gastric cancer with divergent differentiation: Report of a rare case with review of literature
Indian J Pathol Microbiol. 2024 Feb 15. doi: 10.4103/ijpm.ijpm_389_23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlpha-fetoprotein-producing gastric cancer is a rare variant of gastric adenocarcinoma. This tumor is likely to be misdiagnosed, particularly in patients with liver metastasis. This rare subgroup of gastric carcinoma may show divergent differentiation on histology and may pose a diagnostic challenge to the pathologist. They have an aggressive course with a dismal prognosis.PMID:38427754 | DOI:10.4103/ijpm.ijpm_389_23 (Source: Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology)

Multicystic renal dysplasia, a histomorphological spectrum: Seven years experience from a tertiary care hospital
CONCLUSION: This series has been presented to highlight the various histomorphological features of MCDK. MCDK can be managed conservatively in most of cases due to autoinvolution and, hence, needs to be differentiated from other close differentials like polycystic kidney disease, cystic nephroma, and cystic partially differentiated nephroblastoma in order to avoid unnecessary surgical intervention.PMID:38427756 | DOI:10.4103/ijpm.ijpm_202_23 (Source: Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology)

Crystallizing galactocele: A rare case report and review of literature
Indian J Pathol Microbiol. 2024 Feb 19. doi: 10.4103/ijpm.ijpm_278_23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCrystallizing galactocele is an uncommon condition that produces a viscous, chalky substance on fine needle aspiration cytology. (FNAC). Both the diagnosis and the management of this illness include the use of FNAC. Here, we discuss the case of a 25-year-old nursing woman who experienced left breast edema lump for two years. The upper outer quadrant of the leftt breast was involved by the hard, small, non-tender, and movable enlargement. The lesion's FNAC produced a thick, milky, and chalky substance. Numerous semi-transpar...
