    Behcet?s Disease Mimicking Crohn Disease: A Pathological Approach to a Case

    Jingjing Hu*, Andreas Ciscato and Mojgon Hosseini

    DOI: DOI: 10.37421/ 2684-4575.2022.4.3.123

    Bechet’s Disease (BD) is a rare entity. It’s a multi-systemic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology characterized by recurrent ulcers and vasculitis, mainly including oral cavity, eyes, gastrointestinal tract and joints. Crohn’s Disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder that may affect the same organs as BD, however more frequently the GI tract. Distinguish BD from CD can be very challenge due to the overlapping clinical presentation and similar morphology features on pathology biopsy specimens. Herein, we present a rare and interesting case which BD mimics IBD on the GI biopsies but with some unique findings. This is a case report of a 32-year-old, female, who first presented at ED with fatigue, weight loss, arthralgia, and erythema nodosum. One month later, patient was admitted for oral ulcers, skin rash, genital ulcers and melena. Treatment with prednisone was started at the time and further workup for BD versus IBD was initiated. Her GI biopsies show granulomatous vasculitis of esophagus and colon biopsies demonstrate overlapping features with CD.

      Specimens: Unlocking the Secrets of Nature's Wonders

      Swapna Sari*

      DOI: 10.37421/2684-4575.2023.5.157

      The study of specimens plays a pivotal role in various scientific disciplines, from biology and geology to archaeology and materials science. This abstract provides an overview of the significance of specimens in research and the diverse methodologies employed for their collection, preservation and analysis. It discusses how specimens serve as essential tools for advancing knowledge, enhancing our understanding of the natural world and solving complex problems. Additionally, the abstract explores the challenges associated with specimen management, including ethical considerations and the need for sustainable practices. Understanding the value and complexities of specimens is essential for researchers, educators and policymakers to promote responsible specimen stewardship and scientific progress.

      The Complex Pathology of Cancer: Unraveling the Mysteries

      Ohtake Joost*

      DOI: 10.37421/2684-4575.2023.5.158

      Cancer pathology, a critical field in oncology, encompasses the study of the origins, development, and characteristics of cancerous tissues. This multidisciplinary discipline integrates histopathology, molecular biology, genetics, and clinical data to decipher the underlying mechanisms of cancer initiation and progression. It plays a pivotal role in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment planning, guiding personalized therapeutic interventions for cancer patients. This abstract provides an overview of key concepts in cancer pathology, including histological subtypes, molecular alterations, and diagnostic techniques, highlighting its indispensable role in the fight against cancer.

      Frozen Section: A Vital Tool in Surgical Pathology

      Liu Caifeng*

      DOI: 10.37421/2684-4575.2023.5.159

      A frozen section is a rapid pathological examination technique used in surgery to provide real-time diagnostic information. During this procedure, a small tissue sample is frozen, sliced thinly, stained, and examined under a microscope to determine the nature of a lesion or tissue abnormality. This technique plays a crucial role in guiding surgical decisions and ensuring optimal patient care. This abstract provides an overview of frozen section procedures, their applications, and their significance in clinical practice.

      Autolysis: A Fascinating Biological Phenomenon

      Joseph Maximillian*

      DOI: 10.37421/2684-4575.2023.5.159

      Autolysis, a natural biological process, plays a pivotal role in various biological systems, including cell death, decomposition, and food fermentation. This phenomenon involves the self-digestion of cells or tissues by their own enzymes and can have significant implications in fields such as medicine, microbiology, and food science. Understanding the mechanisms, regulation, and consequences of autolysis is crucial for both basic research and practical applications. This abstract provides an overview of autolysis, highlighting its importance and relevance in different contexts.

        The Immunohistochemistry for HPV infection in High Grade Squamous cell lesions of Esophagus Diagnosed on Endoscopic Biopsies

        Purvee Agrawal,Arvind Bhake

        Background: The recent report in the literatures refers to the role of HPV in pathogenesis of esophageal cancer with geographical biases.
        There were not many reports from India where in relationship between HPV and esophageal squamous cell high grade lesions were
        analysed. Such studies are required to explore the role of HPV in esophageal Squamous cell carcinoma for its implication of prevention
        and treatment.
        Aim: The aim of study was to observe the pathogenetic relationship between high grade squamous cell lesion and HPV detected on the tissue
        biopsies by immunohistochemistry .The another objective of the study was to study relationship of HPV with grades of SCC.
        Methods: Fifty-six paraffin embedded blocks that were diagnosed as high grade squamous cell lesions were selected and the
        immunostaining for HPV was performed using mouse monoclonal Anti-Human Papillomavirus (HPV) antibodies (DAKO code M3528)
        against HPV.
        Results: The study group 56 cases endoscopic biopsies of high grade SCC showed HPV positive IHC staining in total of 12 cases (21.42%) of
        which 1 case (1.79%) was of carcinoma in-situ and 11(20%) was of invasive SCC. All the 11 cases of invasive SCC were of well differentiated
        SCC which showed positive HPV IHC staining. The p-value for the results of HPV for high grade squamous cell lesions of esophagus was
        0.0022 which was significant.
        Conclusions: There exist the association between HPV and esophagus high grade squamous cell lesions. These aspects of
        pathogenicity are required to be propped further at large sample studies to be carried out in divergent populations.

        Tuberous sclerosis associated with pulmonary adenocarcinoma in situ: report of an unusual case and literature review

        Doaa Alayed , Assem alroumaih, Ammar cherkess alrikabi

        Our case represents a rare and perhaps unique and unusual occurrence of in situ lung adenocarcinoma in a patient who is a known case of tuberous sclerosis. We do not know, yet, if the association of lung adenocarcinoma and tuberous sclerosis is a coincidental finding or there is a casual relationship. However, further studies are warranted to highlight the nature of the linkage between the two conditions.
