Diagnostic Evaluation Of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology In The Management Of Palpable Breast Lesions, S. H. Shah, Naila Kayani, S. H. Hasan, I. N. Soomro, Shahid Pervez, A. S. Hussainy Jan 1998

Diagnostic Evaluation Of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology In The Management Of Palpable Breast Lesions, S. H. Shah, Naila Kayani, S. H. Hasan, I. N. Soomro, Shahid Pervez, A. S. Hussainy

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine

A total of 113 fine needle aspirates of the breast masses were evaluated in which the subsequent biopsy or mastectomy specimen were also available for histological examination. The age ranged from 16 to 80 years with a mean of 42 years. In benign conditions the mean age was 34.7 years while in malignant cases it was 48 years. The cytological diagnoses were compared with the histological results which revealed that the specificity and sensitivity of fine needle aspiration cytology in the palpable breast lesions was 86.1% and 89.2% respectively with a positive predictive value of 93% and efficiency of 88.2%. …

Molecular And Cellular Biology Of Prostate Cancer, El-Nasir Lalani, Marc Elie Laniado, Paul David Abel Jun 1997

Molecular And Cellular Biology Of Prostate Cancer, El-Nasir Lalani, Marc Elie Laniado, Paul David Abel

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine

Prostate cancer is an enigmatic disease. Although prostatic-intraepithelial neoplasia appears as early as the third decade and as many as 80% of 80 year old men have epithelial cells in their prostate that fit the morphological criteria for cancer, only about 10% of men will ever have the clinical disease and less than 3% will die from it. There have been no significant proven interventions which have altered the natural history of the disease since hormone down regulation was introduced in the 1940s and new research has been poorly supported. There is however an urgent need to develop new criteria …

Immunophenotypic Analysis Of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Suhail Muzaffar, Shahid Pervez, Farrukh Aijaz, Syed Abdul Aziz, Sheema H. Hasan Apr 1997

Immunophenotypic Analysis Of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Suhail Muzaffar, Shahid Pervez, Farrukh Aijaz, Syed Abdul Aziz, Sheema H. Hasan

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine

One hundred and three cases of Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma were evaluated immunohistochemically using a panel of monoclonal antibodies which includes leucocyte common antigen (LCA), CD45R (Pan-B marker), L-26 (CD 20-Pan-B marker) and UCHL-1 (Pan-T marker). Of the total 63 cases (61.17%) showed a B-cell phenotype while 40(38.83%) were of T-cell origin. Most B-cell neoplasms belonged to intermediate (79.36%) or high grade (15.87%) according to the international Working Formulation (WF). Most T- cell lymphomas were of either intermediate (52.5%) or high grade (32.5%) neoplasms. Some T-cell neoplasms presented as specific clinicopathological entities like lymphomatoid granulomatosis (2 cases), mycosis fungoides (1 case) and …

Localized Tuberculosis And Myelofibrosis With Myeloid Metaplasia : An Extremely Unusual Presentation, Suhail Muzaffar Jan 1996

Localized Tuberculosis And Myelofibrosis With Myeloid Metaplasia : An Extremely Unusual Presentation, Suhail Muzaffar

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine

Myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia (MMM) is usually considered primary agnogenic, however, it may be secondary to various diseases, The association of tuberculosis with MMIM is exceedingly rare, however, the pathogenetic relationship between the two is difficult to define. We present a case report showing simultaneous presentation of localized active tuberculosis and MMM The literature on the subject is also reviewed with special emphasis on pathogenic relation­ship between the two.

Immunohistochemical Estrogen Receptor Determination In Human Breast Carcinoma: Correlation With Histologic Differentiation And Age Of The Patients, Shahid Pervez, S. Shaikh, F. Aijaz, S. A. Aziz, M. Naqvi, Sheema H. Hasan Jun 1994

Immunohistochemical Estrogen Receptor Determination In Human Breast Carcinoma: Correlation With Histologic Differentiation And Age Of The Patients, Shahid Pervez, S. Shaikh, F. Aijaz, S. A. Aziz, M. Naqvi, Sheema H. Hasan

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine

An immunohistochemical assay for the measurement of estrogen receptor (ER) has been evaluated on 290 consecutive human breast biopsy and mastectomy specimens in the year 1992 at The Aga Khan University Hospital laboratories. Immunohistochemical localization of estrogen receptor on frozen/paraffin section was scored in a semi-quantitative fashion incorporating both the intensity and the distribution of specific staining. Histologic grading of the tumour was performed according to Bloom’s method. In this study, 21% of the tumours were estrogen receptor negative, 15% were weak positive, 25% intermediate positive and 39% strong positive. Fifty percent of the well differentiated tumours showed strong ER …
