The cancer survival rates continue to increase with the passing day owing to advances in diagnostic modalities, therapeutic strategies and the ongoing research. Simultaneously, there is also an increase in the incidence of multiple primary cancers due to the increased survival, long term effects of chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy, higher diagnostic sensitivity and the persisting effects of behavioural and genetic risk factors. Multiple Primary Malignancies (MPM) was first described in 1879 by Billroth. Multiple primary tumours are defined as synchronous or metachronous tumours presenting in the same individual. The neoplasms may be limited to a single organ or may involve multiple anatomical organs. This article presents a case study of a 72-year old female, who was referred to our institute with a history of lump in the left breast and fracture of left clavicle.

Xanthomas are lesions that are mostly located within the skin or subcutaneous tissue and consist of cholesterol and cholesterol esters. Xanthomas can occur at any site. They are mostly associated with Familial hypercholesterolemia. Although the clinical picture is variable, a high level of LDL cholesterol is the common manifestation. Here we report a case report on multiple Xanthomas in a 19 years old male.

Lipomas are tumours which arise from fat tissues and are most common soft tissue tumours. When lipomas turn malignant, they are known as liposarcoma. Lipomas of length greater than 10cm or weight greater than 1000 grams is defined as giant lipoma. Lipomas are mostly asymptomatic at presentation, however when enlarged they can cause symptoms like pain, difficulty in walking due to compression of underlying neurovascular structures. A male patient aged 65 years presented with non-painful swelling in the left thigh which gradually increased in size over last 6 months. The patient did not have any symptoms due to swelling. On examination the swelling was measured 20x15 cm not fixed to skin or underlying bone or soft tissues. No inguinal lymph node was palpable. Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CEMRI) of thigh showed a well circumscribed fat enhanced lesion in the anterior compartment of the left thigh which measures approximately 10.4 x 12.5 x 21.4 cm. The mass lesion was abutting & medially displacing the femoral neurovascular bundle without encasement. Core biopsy from lesion showed adipocytes with background myxoid stromal and skeletal tissue. No cellular pleomorphism mitosis or increased vascularity is evident. Patient underwent excision of tumour with intact capsule under GA via longitudinal elliptical incision. Final histopathology was reported as mature adipocyte separated by thin fibrous septa suggestive of lipoma without any evidence of lipoblasts or atypical nuclear cells. Patient does not have any recurrence after one year of follow up. Surgical excision with intact capsule is treatment of choice for lipoma. In giant lipomas malignant transformation to liposarcoma should be suspected. On imaging malignant transformation is suspected with characteristics like solid component, haemorrhage, infiltration into neurovascular structures which is confirmed on final histopathology report after excision.
脂肪瘤是由脂肪组织产生的肿瘤,是最常见的软组织肿瘤。当脂肪瘤变为恶性时,它们被称为脂肪肉瘤。长度大于10cm或重量大于1000克的脂肪瘤定义为巨大脂肪瘤。脂肪瘤在发病时大多无症状,但扩大后可引起疼痛、行走困难等症状,原因是压迫下层神经血管结构。65岁男性患者表现为左大腿无痛性肿胀,在过去6个月内逐渐增大。患者因肿胀无任何症状。检查时,肿胀测量为20x15 cm,不固定于皮肤或下面的骨骼或软组织。未见腹股沟淋巴结。大腿增强磁共振成像(CEMRI)显示左大腿前房室有一个边界清晰的脂肪增强病变,尺寸约为10.4 x 12.5 x 21.4 cm。肿块病变毗邻;股神经血管束内侧移位,无包膜。病灶核心活检显示脂肪细胞伴黏液样基质和骨组织。未见细胞多形性、有丝分裂或血管增生。患者在GA下经纵向椭圆切口行肿瘤完整包膜切除。最后的组织病理学报告为成熟的脂肪细胞被薄的纤维间隔隔开,提示脂肪瘤,没有任何脂肪母细胞或非典型核细胞的证据。随访1年,无复发。手术切除与完整的囊是治疗脂肪瘤的选择。巨大的脂肪瘤应怀疑恶性转化为脂肪肉瘤。影像学上怀疑为恶性转化,表现为实性成分、出血、神经血管结构浸润等特征,在切除后的最终组织病理学报告中得到证实。

Angiolymphoid lymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) represents a heterogenous group of benign vascular lesions that is characterized by proliferation of small to medium sized vascular structures lined by plump epitheloid (histiocytoid)endothelial cells surrounded by mixed inflammatory infiltrate predominantly eosinophils. Intraoral lesions of ALHE are uncommon and tongue involvement is extremely rare. Here we report a case of ALHE of tongue in a 60 yr old female diagnosed on histopathology and confirmed by IHC.

Testicular mass is an important and frequently encountered finding in hospital setting. Xanthogranulomatous orchitis (XGO) is an uncommon benign lesion and an important cause of testicular mass. It should always be kept as an important differential diagnosis while evaluating testicular lesions. We report a rare case of XGO in a 45-year-old male who presented with a right scrotal swelling. A provisional diagnosis of testicular mass; suspicious of malignancy was given. Right-sided orchidectomy was done. The excised mass was sent for a detailed histopathological evaluation. On histology, a definitive diagnosis of this rare entity was made.

Xanthogranulomatous inflammation (XGI) is a rare but well- described type of chronic inflammation. It was in the genitourinary tract where it was first reported. Any organ can be involved but the most common sites are kidney followed by the gallbladder. Histologically, it can be characterized by a collection of lipids- laden macrophages along with inflammatory infiltrate, with or without cholesterol clefts. XGI is extremely uncommon in the appendix. Due to its atypical presentation, it is usually detected post- operatively. Sami Akbulut et al. published a comprehensive study in January 2021 and reported only 38 patients worldwide. Here, we present a case of a 20 – year old female who came to the OPD with typical signs of Acute Appendicitis diagnosed histopathologically as Xanthogranulomatous appendicitis

: Tuberculous lymphadenitis is the most common etiology of cervical lymphadenopathy in endemic countries. Fine needle aspiration of palpable lymph nodes is done for rapid diagnosis of tuberculous lymphadenitis This study presents a comparative evaluation of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) with acid fast bacilli screening using Ziehl Neelsen stain, Fluorescent stain with Cartridge based nucleic acid amplification test (CBNAAT) for the rapid diagnosis of tubercular lymphadenitis. : An observational cross sectional study was done over a period of 15 months from January 2020 to March 2021. All newly diagnosed cases of tubercular lymphadenitis irrespective of age and sex were included. Fine needle aspiration was performed from the palpable lymph node. Smears were prepared using Giemsa, Papanicolaou, Ziehl Neelsen and Auramine O stain.Rest of the sample was used for Mycobacterial growth indicator test (MGIT) and CBNAAT. Statistical Analysis was performed using McNemar test. For gold standard, MGIT as well as a composite reference standard on parameters that included MGIT, radiological findings of tuberculosis, Positive Mantoux test and Positive response to ATT seen in the form of complete resolution of clinical and radiological findings. : The diagnostic value of CBNAAT differed with respect to the chosen gold standard. With MGIT as gold standard, CBNAAT had the highest sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value. The diagnostic accuracy of CBNAAT was also the highest. Using CRS (Composite Reference standard) as gold standard, CBNAAT showed the highest specificity and positive predictive value. : With CBNAAT showing statistically significant data of a higher diagnostic value in our study as well as showing rapid result, being automated and not subjected to observer interpretation, we conclude that CBNAAT is more efficient in the diagnosis of tubercular lymphadenitis as compared to AFB screening methods. The only limitation of CBNAAT in our study was its ability to show positive results for three atypical mycobacteria due to possible cross contamination.

Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign mixed tumour most frequently occurring in major salivary glands mainly parotid gland followed by minor salivary glands and lacrimal glands. It occurs rarely in skin and subcutaneous tissue where it had been previously termed as chondroid syringoma. Here we present a case of 22 years female presenting with a small subcutaneous swelling on left lateral wall of nose near medial canthus of left eye slowly progressing in size since 2 years and its histocytocorrelation. Complete excision and histopathology of such lesions is necessary as there may be recurrences and malignant transformation.

Adnexal or appendageal tumours of skin comprise an important subcategory of cutaneous neoplasms, although thorough understanding of this entity is still in its early stages. The role of immunohistochemistry in diagnosis is particularly limited, and, it is morphology that actually guides pathologists for clinching diagnosis. Here, we present three uncommon cases of skin adnexal tumours- a case of retiform trichoblastoma, trichilemmal carcinoma and sebaceous carcinoma; especially highlighting the morphological approach of diagnosis and the associated clinical implications based on literature review.
