The mediastinum is an uncommon site of synovial sarcoma which is a rare soft tissue malignancy. An 18 year old boy was admitted for right sided chest pain since one year. Based on the CT scan chest findings, tru-cut biopsy of the mass was performed and histopathology initially reported as neurofibroma. The tumor was excised via posterolateral thoracotomy and excisional biopsy established the diagnosis of primary synovial sarcoma arising from the mediastinum. Patient was started on adjuvant chemotherapy at the oncologist tumor board’s recommendation and he received 6 cycles of adriamycin and ifosfamide. At last follow up he is free …

Detection Of Filaggrin Gene Mutation (2282del4) In Pakistani Ichthyosis Vulgaris Families., Naghma Naz, Azam J. Samdani
Detection Of Filaggrin Gene Mutation (2282del4) In Pakistani Ichthyosis Vulgaris Families., Naghma Naz, Azam J. Samdani
Department of Medicine
The aim of this study was to detect an 811 bp filaggrin (FLG) gene fragment known to carry a mutation 2282del4 which causes ichthyosis vulgaris. Seven clinically examined ichthyosis vulgaris families were included in this study. An 811 bp FLG gene fragment was targeted in the genomic DNA of all the members of the seven families by PCR amplification using known primers RPT1P7 and RPT2P1. Successful amplification of an 811 bp FLG gene fragment in all the families suggested the possible role of the 2282del4 mutation in causing ichthyosis vulgaris in Pakistani population.

Department of Medicine
Background: The extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1) is a glycoprotein, expressed in skin and other tissues. Loss-of-function mutation in ECM1 causes a rare autosomal recessive disorder called lipoid proteinosis. Lipoid proteinosis is presented by varying degrees of skin scars, beaded papules along the eyelid margins, variable signs of hoarseness of voice and respiratory disorders. More than 250 cases of this disorder have been described in the literature, but occurrence of lipoid proteinosis in siblings is very rare. This study was designed to investigate the possible mutation causing lipoid proteinosis in a Pakistani family and to elaborate the scope of possible …

Molecular Studies Of Ichthyosis Vulgaris In Pakistani Families., Azam J. Samdani, Naghma Naz, Nuzhat Ahmed
Department of Medicine
Objective: To target and amplify a 1.5 kb FLG gene fragment known to carry R501X mutation responsible for causing ichthyosis vulgaris.
Study Design: A case series.
Place and Duration of Study: Centre for Molecular Genetics, University of Karachi and Dermatology Department, Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC), Karachi, from October 2007 to December 2008.
Methodology: Clinically examined seven ichthyosis vulgaris families were included in this study. The 1.5 kb FLG gene fragment was located in the genomic DNA of both the affected (patients) and unaffected (normal, controls) members of the families by PCR amplification using known primers FilF3 and RPTIP6.
Results: …

Dermatophyte Growth And Degradation Of Human Stratum Corneum In Vitro (Pathogenesis Of Dermatophytosis)., Azam J. Samdani
Department of Medicine
Background: This study was carried out to determine growth of dermatophytes using human stratum corneum in vitro and the degrading effect of Keratinases (Proteinases) on stratum corneum for a complete understanding of the host parasite relationship.
Method: Trichophyton rubrum isolates derived from patients with tinea cruris infections were obtained from the Department of Medical Microbiology, University Hospital of Wales, U.K. Human stratum corneum sterilized with ethylene oxide was used as a nitrogen source in agar culture medium plates.
Result: Fungal growth took place in plates which contained human stratum corneum particles while there was no growth in the plates without …

Cutaneous Manifestations Of Hyper-Ige Syndrome In Twins: A Case Report From Saudi Arabia., Azam J. Samdani, A. Tania
Department of Medicine
The hyper-IgE syndrome with recurrent infections is a rare immunodeficiency disorder characterized by very high levels of IgE in serum. It is inherited in most of the cases in a dominant fashion meaning that it can run in families with a high frequency. About 250 cases have been published in literature so far.
