Primary testicular plasmacytoma is rare, especially when occurring in the absence of a previous or concurrent diagnosis of multiple myeloma. An 84-year-old gentleman was admitted with complaints of swelling over the right side of scrotum for the past 2 months. Local examination revealed a 10×15 cm tense and tender swelling involving the right scrotum. Therefore, high orchidectomy with excision of hemiscrotum was done. The histopathology revealed testicular plasmacytoma, which was positive for CD 138.

Introduction: Upper gastrointestinal pathology is one of the causes for gastrointestinal mortality and morbidity. The histopathological study of endoscopic biopsies from the upper gastrointestinal tract helps to permit early and exact diagnosis of the existing disease and also in further management of patients. Aim and Objectives: The present study is done to analyse the prevalence of various upper gastrointestinal lesions received in our institution and their histopathological findings for early diagnosis which helps in better patient management. Materials and Methods: A study was conducted in all upper gastrointestinal endoscopic biopsies received in our hospital from June 2016 to May 2017. The patient of all ages and both sexes who underwent endoscopic biopsy was included and analysed on haematoxylin and eosin stained sections. Results: A total of 259 cases were studied. Patient's age ranging from 21 to 74 years was taken. Males were more prevalent. Stomach was the commonest site of endoscopic biopsies. The histopathology revealed non-neoplastic lesions 173 (66.80%) and neoplastic lesions 86 (33.20%). Most common nonneoplastic lesion was 51 cases of chronic non specific gastritis. In neoplastic lesions of stomach, adenocarcinoma was the commonest. Conclusions: Endoscopic procedure along with histopathological interpretation still remains as a mainstay of diagnostic modality. So Histopathology is considered as gold standard for the diagnosis of endoscopically detected lesions which helps in early detection of mucosal lesions, both benign and malignant. Histopathology acts as a powerful diagnostic tool in better management and survival of patients.

We present a case of Rosai Dorfman Disease of bilateral inguinal nodes, for its unusual presentation. We diagnosed it based on the characteristic cytological and histomorphological findings and confirmed it using Immunohistochemistry.

Introduction: Skin is the largest organ of our body. Non-neoplastic skin lesions are more common than neoplastic lesions. The histopathological study was done to know the prevalence of various non-neoplastic skin lesions of patients who attended the outpatient department of dermatology over a period of three years from Jan 2016-Dec2018. Materials and Methods: In this study total of 209 cases of skin lesions were taken over a period of three years. The diagnosis of these skin lesions was confirmed by histopathological examination with routine hematoxylin and eosin stain. Results: A total of 209 cases of non-neoplastic lesions were taken for the study. Out of these lesions, 63 cases (30.14 %) were non-infectious-vesiculobullous, 54 (25.84 %) were reported under the category of infectious etiology, 41 cases (19.62 %) of non-infectious erythematous papulosquamous diseases, 13 cases (6.22 %) of inflammatory disorders, 10 (4.78%) cases showed connective tissue disorders. 8(3.83%) cases were reported as vasculitis and 2 cases (0.96) of fungal origin. 18 cases come under the miscellaneous category that was correlated clinically and were treated. Conclusion: In the present study of non-neoplastic skin lesions, non-infectious vesiculobullous diseases were more common. Pemphigus Vulgaris was the most common lesion. The non-neoplastic skin lesions were most commonly seen in males than females in our population of the study.
