Background: Fallopian tube is a common specimen in the laboratory. It is affected by a wide spectrum of diseases but there are only occasional studies, documenting histological changes in the fallopian tube removed for all reasons. Aims and objectives:To study the gross and microscopic features of the excised fallopian tubes and to study the common and unusual lesions in them. To find the incidences of tumour and the tumour like lesions of the fallopian tube. Materials and Methods: A sample size of 200 cases was included in this study which consisted of all the specimens of fallopian tubes of all age groups obtained by salpingectomy, tubal ligation, salpingooophorectomy or along with hysterectomy. All the specimens were processed by routine histopathological techniques. Histopathological features were studied on hematoxylin and eosin stained sections. Results: In our study, majority of the cases belonged to age group of less than or equal to 30 years. Total number of 372 fallopian tubes were received from 200 patients. Out of the 372 fallopian tube specimens, 248 (66.67%) were normal whereas 124 (33.33%) fallopian tubes were abnormal. Of the 124 abnormal fallopian tube specimens, majority were diagnosed to have non neoplastic lesions that is 119 (95.97%) fallopian tubes, and 5 (4.03%) were diagnosed to have neoplastic lesions. The most common histopathological finding observed were inflammatory conditions seen in 47 (12.63%) of the fallopian tubes seen most commonly in the age group of less than or equal to 30 years. Conclusion: The present study describes the broad spectrum of lesions in fallopian tube and their incidence with respect to age group. Majority of the lesions were non neoplastic comprising predominantly of inflammatory lesions, seen most commonly in younger age group. Neoplastic lesions of the fallopian tube were rare.

Background: The spectrum of bone lesions include inflammatory, neoplastic, degenerative and metabolic diseases. Histopathology is a confirmatory evidence for bone lesions and helps arrive at a diagnosis and plan further prognosis and management. A proper execution from technique (radioguided or surgical), choice of sections from the lesion and proper management of specimen is the requirement for accuracy of diagnosis and further management. Aims and objectives: To analyse the histo-pathological spectrum of bone lesions and co relating it with demographic details and radiological findings. Results: 100 bone biopsies received in the Department of Pathology between September 2015 to September 2017. They were routinely processed after decalcification. Out of 100 cases, 55 nonneoplastic lesions and 45 neoplastic lesions were reported. Around 10 cases were inconclusive due to inadequacy of biopsy sample. Osteochondroma was the most common benign lesion. Osteosarcoma and chondrosarcoma were the most common malignant lesion, with equal incidence. Chronic osteomyelitis was the most common non neoplastic lesion. The lesions occurred most commonly below the age group of 20 years with a male preponderance. Femur was the most common bone involved and metaphysis was the most common anatomical site of lesion. Conclusion:A detailed histo-pathological interpretation of bone lesions, along with history, radiological and other relevant investigations are important for the patient's treatment and the further management including the follow up.

Pancreatic heterotopia is a rare, unusual finding where pancreatic tissues are found out of the normal anatomical location. Various studies have documented an incidence of 0.5 to 13% in autopsy. The reports on pancreatic heterotopia presence is rare, with an incidence estimated to be around 0.2% of all upper gastrointestinal surgeries. The heterotopic pancreas occurs frequnetly in the stomach, duodenum and proximal jejunum. Remote cases of  pancreatic heterotopia in Meckel's diverticulum is a rare finding. These heterotopias are  often clinically silent and are an  incidental findings  upon pathological examination or autopsy.
