Sperm Extraction from Absorbed Filter Paper by Shaking Method
This study would like to to show an easy and effective way (method) for sperm extraction. The method could be used as basic extraction of sperm from absorbed material; such as swab, cotton or fi lter paper. Materials and...
Molecular diagnosis of synovial sarcoma: A comparative study with histologic correlation in Ramathibodi Hospital
Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a relatively common sarcoma of soft tissue arising in extremities of young adult, which is often diagnosed by histology and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Synovial sarcoma can be found in various locations and may cause diagnostic dilemma in tumors arising in unusual locations. In this study, we evaluated the application of...
Non-functioning adrenal cortical adenoma arising in adrenohepatic fusion, mimicking hepatocellular carcinoma – a case report
Adrenal cortical adenoma arising in adrenohepatic fusion is an exceedingly rare occurrence. It can potentially be misinterpreted as hepatocellular carcinoma as they share radiologic and histologic similarities. We report an incidental subcapsular adrenal cortical adenoma arising in adrenohepatic fusion tissue in segment 7 of the liver...
Mantle cell lymphoma presenting as multiple lymphomatous polyposis of colon: A case report.
Mantle cell lymphoma is a clinically aggressive lymphoma with a poor prognosis. Secondary involvement of gastrointestinal tract by this neoplasm is not uncommon but the primary involvement with distinguished multiple lymphomatous polyposis is unusual. We report a case of mantle cell lymphoma presenting as multiple lymphomatous...
Bursitis with pseudosarcomatous fibroblastic proliferation; a case report
Pseudosarcomatous fibroblastic proliferation (PSFP) is a quite common lesion found in various locations in- cluding soft tissue, bone and other organs and often raises a difficult differential diagnosis with malignancy. However, PSFP has not been described in tissue related to bursitis. We report a case of 31-year-old male who developed a cystic...
Incomplete pentalogy of Cantrell: a case report
Pentalogy of Cantrell is a rare congenital syndrome characterized by defects involving the supra-umbilical abdominal wall, lower sternum, anterior diaphragm, pericardium, and the intra-cardiac anomalies. The ensuing congenital heart disease is a source of major morbidity. The full spectrum of the syndrome is rare while incomplete expression of the...
Primary central nervous system lymphoma presenting with panhypopituitarism and diabetes insipidus
Lymphoma involving the hypothalamus is very rare. We present a case of a 48-year-old man with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) presenting with hypothalamic and pituitary stalk lesions with frontal masses, causing diabetes insipidus and panhypopituitarism. Brain MRI with gadolinium enhancement demonstrated vivid enhancing hypothalamic and...
Disseminated Tuberculosis in a Mother with Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma resulting in Placental and Inferred Congenital Tuberculosis: An Autopsy Case Report
Tuberculosis of the placenta is a rare condition which mainly occurs in the immunosuppressed individuals especially in acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and hematologic malignancy9. Tuberculosis can spread to the fetus via hematogenous or cervicovaginal route and result in congenital tuberculosis....
Diagnostic Pitfalls of Prostatic Adenocarcinoma in Biopsy Specimens
Prostatic adenocarcioma is a very common male cancer worldwide. Biopsy remains the most reliable means in making definite diagnosis. In the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening era, the rate of prostate biopsies rapidly increases, resulting in early detection of very small tumors. In the same time, general pathologists are forced to face...
Frontoethmoidal encephalomeningocele histopathology and proposed mechanism of developing lesion
The purpose of this study is to describe histopathological fi ndings of frontoethmoidal meningoencephalocele (FEEM), and to correlate with the embryogenesis. The study materials were gathered from 86 cases of FEEM, during 1995-2005. The histopathology was observed in terms of the pattern of the lesion, the relation to the skin and surrounding soft tissue,...
