Leiomyoma 33 cases (66%) was the common histopathoogical finding followed by combined leiomyoma and adenomyosis accounting for 7 cases (14%). Non-specific cervicitis 39 cases (78%) was the common histopathological finding in cervical lesion followed by 3 cases (6 %) of dysplasia cervix.
Conclusion:The most common benign lesion in uterus was found to be leiomyoma followed by adenomyosis combined with leiomyoma while non-specific cervicitis was found in cervical lesion in hysterectomy specimen.
Polymorphous Low Grade Adenocarcinoma (PLGA) is a relatively newer entity under the sub-classification of adenocarcinoma, which arises mainly from the minor salivary glands. PLGA is difficult to diagnose both clinically and histopathologically due to its indolent presentation and its morphological diversity that includes several microscopic patterns. It is an uncommon malignant neoplasm with low aggressiveness accounting for about 2% of all salivary gland tumours. We are reporting this case of PLGA which arose from the minor salivary gland over the hard palate.
Cylindroma is a rare tumour which originates from skin appendages. Cylindromas are of two types namely solitary and multiple. Malignant transformation of cylindroma is unusual and is extremely rare in solitary type. They show strong predilection for middle aged and elderly females. We report a case of a 70 year old male patient presented with nodular swelling along with surface ulceration in the right axillary region since six months, which on histopathological examination revealed a case of malignant transformation of benign solitary cylindroma. We report a rare case of malignant cylindroma arising in a patient with solitary cylindroma at an unusual site.
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.
