Hydatidiform moles are abnormal gestations characterised by the presence of hydropic changes in the placental villi associated with circumferential trophoblastic proliferation. They arise due to abnormal fertilization. Molar gestation commonly develops within the uterus but presence of molar changes in ectopic pregnancy is extremely rare. Author present a rare case of ectopic molar pregnancy in fallopian tube in a 20 years old female patient to highlight its clinicopathological features. Ectopic molar pregnancy in a fallopian tube is very rare and histopathological study is the gold standard for the exact diagnosis and further management.
Study of Coagulation profile in preeclampsia and eclampsia comprised of 258 cases which were categorized as preeclampsia, eclampsia and control group with 86 cases in each group. A total number of 258 patients were studied which were categorized as the control group, preeclampsia group and eclampsia group with 86 cases in each. Preeclampsia was further classified as mild preeclampsia (48/86) and severe preeclampsia (38/86). Among all patients, thrombocytopenia was found in 61% of patients. All patients in the control group had platelet counts within the normal range. The method used in the present study is an analytical case-control study, carried out in the Department of Pathology in our institute. Our study includes cases of preeclampsia and eclampsia coming to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology during the period of two years from May 2015 to April 2017. Newly diagnosed Preeclampsia and eclampsia patients in the third trimester of age 18 to 30 years. From this study, it can be concluded that coagulation profile can help to assess the severity of preeclampsia and eclampsia and thus can help to reduce complications if treated early. Thus as inconclusive of this study of coagulation profile has significant value and impact on management and outcome of cases of preeclampsia and eclampsia.
Placenta is the most accessible and readily evaluable specimen which is mirror image of pregnancy. The objective here is to study the histomorphological changes in placenta in cases of intrauterine fetal deaths and to study correlation of placental findings with causes of fetal death which is significant to understand. The present cross sectional study was carried out in Department of Pathology of a tertiary care hospital from June 2015 to May 2017. Study of Placental Pathology in Intrauterine Fetal Death cases comprised of 99 placentas. The present study was undertaken to study the placental pathology in cases of intrauterine fetal death. IUFD was found to be more common in primigravida 50/99 (50.50%) mothers. Placental study gives useful morphological information regarding the abnormality of pregnancy. Gross and microscopic examination of the placenta plays an important role in identifying the underlying causes of fetal death and helps prevent further recurrence by making appropriate interventions during the next pregnancy. Study of placental pathology gives clues to events occurring throughout gestation and can potentially help to answer, questions concerning pregnancy management and risk assessment of future pregnancies. It will help the researchers who are doing the research in the field of placental pathology in the days to come.
Several potential etiologic risk factors have been evaluated for the development of complete hydatidiform mole. The two established risk factors that have emerged are extremes of maternal age and prior molar pregnancy. Advanced or very young maternal age has consistently correlated with higher rates of complete hydatidiform mole. Compared to women aged 21- 35 years, the risk of a complete mole is 1.9 times higher for women both more than 35 years and less than 21 years as well as 7.5 times higher for women more than 40 years. (49, 50) The risk of repeat molar pregnancy after 1 mole is about 1% or about 10-20 times the risk for the general population. The present study on the gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) was carried out as it is one of the fascinating gynaecological tumours. Hence a clinicopathological study of gestational trophoblastic disease was undertaken with relevance to the histopathological study of GTD and clinical correlation.
The present study was a two year prospective study of FNAC of total 158 palpable thyroid lesions, reported according to The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC). Out of 158 cases, 36 patients underwent surgical excision and cyto- histopathological correlation was done in these cases. Majority of the patients were females, with a ratio of female to male as 8.9:1. The duration of the palpable thyroid swelling in the present study ranged from less than 1 month period to more than 5 years. Size of thyroid swelling varied from as small as 1 cm to as large as 18 cm in diameter. The procedure was done by both aspiration and non-aspiration techniques and any significant difference in terms of the yield of material by either of the method, was not observed in the present study. TBSRTC is an excellent reporting system, as it showed specificity of 100 % in the present study, which helped to diagnose benign cases correctly and to avoid unnecessary surgery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
