Lipoblastoma of the lip
Indian J Pathol Microbiol. 2024 Feb 19. doi: 10.4103/ijpm.ijpm_841_23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLipoblastomas are benign tumors arising from embryonic white fatty cells that continue to proliferate and develop during the postnatal period. It commonly affects children 3 years of age or younger, with the neck being the most frequent site in the head and neck region. Only 10% of cases are seen at 10 years or above. The etiopathogenesis of lipoblastomas is linked to polysomy and rearrangement of chromosome 8q11-13 with or without the involvement of the pleomorphic adenoma gene 1 (PLAG1) gene. Here, we report one of the fi...

Disseminated multiloculated peritoneal inclusion cysts: Bubble trouble in belly
Indian J Pathol Microbiol. 2024 Feb 19. doi: 10.4103/ijpm.ijpm_556_23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMultiloculated peritoneal inclusion cysts, usually arise from peritoneal mesothelium lining the serous cavity of the abdomen, pelvis and retroperitoneum. These lesions can be incidentally found on imaging or during surgery, and confirmation of the diagnosis is done by radiological imaging, histomorphology and immunohistochemical findings. Although fewer than 200 cases of solitary peritoneal inclusion cysts have been reported, their occurrence in a disseminated fashion has hardly ever been described in literature. Herein, we...

Syringoid eccrine carcinoma of the nipple in a male patient with lymph node metastasis: A case report
Indian J Pathol Microbiol. 2024 Feb 19. doi: 10.4103/ijpm.ijpm_716_23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSyringoid eccrine carcinoma of nipple is an extremely rare neoplasm of adnexal origin with variable clinical appearance and diverse histologic findings. Syringoid eccrine carcinoma (SEC) is often a diagnostic dilemma due to its morphology and presentation. Usually, these malignancies arise as non-ulcerated nodules or plaques in the head & neck region including the trunk. They are locally aggressive and have an infiltrative growth pattern with a propensity for metastasis. SEC is characterized by syringoma-like tadpole mo...

Correlation between intestinal stem cell niche changes and small bowel crypt failure in patients with treatment-na ïve celiac disease
CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggests that ISC niche failure is a plausible hypothesis for villous flattening in patients with CeD, resulting from pericrypt IgA anti-TG2 antibody complex-mediated stromal depletion.PMID:38427764 | DOI:10.4103/ijpm.ijpm_760_23 (Source: Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology)

Primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the prostate: Histopathological diagnosis of a rare entity in the prostate
Indian J Pathol Microbiol. 2024 Feb 19. doi: 10.4103/ijpm.ijpm_325_23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLymphoma of the prostate is rare whether it is primary extranodal lymphoma or secondary involvement of the prostate by primary lymphoma elsewhere. Of all the lymphomas of the prostate, primary lymphomas of the prostrate are very rare. Although less frequent, it should be a differential diagnosis when evaluating prostate tumors. Here, we report a case of a 61-year-old man who presented with hematuria with clot retention. A cystoscopy with clot removal and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) was performed. This bio...

Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome in neonate: Another face of CA-MRSA
Indian J Pathol Microbiol. 2024 Feb 19. doi: 10.4103/ijpm.ijpm_833_23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStaphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS), also known as Ritter's disease, in its severe form occurs predominantly in infants and children. It is caused by infection with group II (often phage group 71) Staphylococcus aureus. The foci of infection include nasopharynx, less commonly umbilicus, urinary tract, superficial abrasion, conjunctivae, and blood. Staphylococci are non-motile, non-spore-forming, catalase-positive, gram-positive cocci that appear predominantly as grape-like clusters. Although this organism is frequen...

A serious warning: A case report on localized amyloidosis of the oral cavity
Indian J Pathol Microbiol. 2024 Feb 19. doi: 10.4103/ijpm.ijpm_720_23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAmyloidosis is a relatively rare condition with an array of complex pathophysiology. Localized amyloidosis is a rare and benign condition that practically never results in any clinical repercussions in the head and neck area. Multiple soft nodules of the tongue, lip, and cheek are the most commonly described defining characteristics of localized oral amyloidosis. These nodules originate due to the proliferation of abnormally folded protein aggregates in the body's extracellular tissue compartments, which destroy organ struc...

Schwannoma-like pleomorphic adenoma: A pathological quandary
Indian J Pathol Microbiol. 2024 Feb 19. doi: 10.4103/ijpm.ijpm_552_23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPleomorphic adenoma usually presents as a painless growing mass in locations of the salivary glands and is notorious for local recurrence if previous surgical resection is incomplete. Schwannoma is a benign peripheral nerve tumor with microscopic features of sheets of spindle-shaped cells with nuclear palisading. However, when a pathologist encounters a salivary gland tumor with microscopic morphological features of biphasic components with areas of schwannoma-like morphology, it is crucial to make a prudent diagnosis by di...

Hepatic and perihepatic PEComas: A study describing a series of five rare cases
CONCLUSIONS: This series highlights the fact that accurate histological diagnosis of hepatic or perihepatic PEComas is important to prevent unnecessary aggressive treatment, unlike primary hepatocellular carcinomas or hepatoid/epithelioid metastatic tumors.PMID:38427771 | DOI:10.4103/ijpm.ijpm_587_23 (Source: Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology)

Acute panmylelosis with myelofibrosis - A rare case report with review of literature
We present a case of a 44-year male who came with a short history of fever, generalised weakness, revealed pancytopenia with occasional circulating blast in the peripheral blood smear. Bone marrow aspirate was dry tap,biopsy revealed panmyelosis with myelofibrosis with increased (22%) blasts. Flowcytometric immunophenotyping, cytogenetics and molecular tests were undertaken. Together with clinical details, immunophenotypic profile, cytogenetics and molecular studies, the diagnosis of Acute panmyelosis with myelofibrosis was made and managed accordingly. 32 The WHO 2017 describes APMF as an acute panmyeloid proliferation wi...

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...
