Primary Testicular NK/T-cell Lymphoma presented as testicular abscess: A Case Report and Literature Review of 33 cases
Primary testicular NK/T-cell lymphoma is rare. We report a 61-year-old Thai man who presented with right testicular abscess clinically but tissue obtained from incision and drainage was proven to be NK/T-cell lymphoma. The lymphoma cells were small to medium in size and showed angiocentricity with associated necrosis. The lymphoma cells were CD3+...
Diagnostic accuracy of fine needle aspiration cytology of salivary glands
Fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology of suspected salivary gland lesions has an established role in preoperative diagnosis and management of patients. However diverse morphological patterns and overlapping features make it a challenging job, to give a precise diagnosis, at times. The aim of the present study is to investigate the accuracy...
The role of Immunohistochemistry in diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma subtypes.
To determine the validity of immunohistochemistry in classifying Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) subtypes. Methods: Eighty-three cases of RCC were retrieved. Immunohistochemical staining of Vimentin, CD10, CK7, P504s, Parvalbumin, TFE3, and CD117 were done by using tissue microarray blocks. RCC subtypes were placed and compared with the previous diagnosis....
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and evaluation in paraffin-embedded lymph nodes
Tuberculosis is a treatable disease, but remains a major cause of mortality. Culture for Mycobacterium is needed to make a definitive diagnosis; thus, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) was attempted for its detection in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples. Materials and method: Archival FFPE blocks were used from 64 patients...
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...
Comparison of triple-dose single-donor platelet collection by the AmicusTM and the Trima Accel® blood-cell separators
The purpose of this study was to compare triple-dose single-donor platelet collection using Amicus™ and Trima Accel® blood-cell separators....
Traumatic asphyxial death from two-wheel ‘walking behind’ tractor
A 41-year-old man was found suspended 15 cm above the floor, hanging from the long handle-bars of a twowheel ‘walking behind’ tractor. The floor was downward sloping and muddy, which caused the tractor to dig into the floor, raising the long handle bars under the arms of the victim, and pushing him against a pillar....
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...
