Introduction: Ovarian tumors account for fifth most common cause of cancer related death in females involving a variety of histological diagnosis. It accounts for 6% of all cancers. Though it is one of the treatable cancers due to its sensitivity to anticancer therapies, it frequently does not result in symptoms until the cancer has spread extensively.Objectives: To study the incidence, histopathological spectrum and clinical correlates of ovarian tumours at B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences (BPKIHS).Methods: A cross-sectional study was undertaken during a period of one year (1st Jan. 31st Dec 2006). The tumors were classified according to WHO classification after thorough examination of H&E slides under light microscope. Data on clinical presentation and physical findings were also recorded in each case.Results: There were a total of 83 cases. Surface epithelial tumors emerged as the commonest variety accounting for 47%, followed by Germ cell tumors (45.8%). Sex . cord stromal tumors and metastatic tumors accounted 3.6% each. The age range was 10 . 86 years. Metastatic tumors involved younger age groups. Abdominal mass was the commonest clinical presentation followed by pain abdomen.Conclusion: At BPKIHS, ovarian tumors were found to occur in wide range of age (10-86years) with abdominal mass and pain abdomen being the commonest mode of clinical presentation .Histology revealed that surface epithelial tumors and germ cell tumors together constitute the large majority of the case (92.8%). An accurate histological diagnosis and staging is therapeutically and prognostically important.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/hren.v10i2.6570 Health Renaissance 2012; Vol 10 (No.2); 87-97

Background. Congenital toxoplasmosis is a major sequela of untreated primary maternal infection. With or without symptoms, untreated infections eventually lead to multiple neurologic complications. Despite the high Toxoplasma gondii seroprevalence in the Ethiopian population, there are no reports of newborns diagnosed and treated for congenital toxoplasmosis. Presentation of Cases. The clinical presentation, evaluation, and management of three infants with congenital toxoplasmosis are described. Two were symptomatic at birth. All three had confirmed diagnoses using Toxoplasma serologic tests. Two completed their treatment with one infant developing complications of strabismus and seizure disorder. Discussion and Conclusions. There is little experience in managing congenital toxoplasmosis in Ethiopia due to constraints in diagnostics and therapy. The description of this first such report underscores the need for risk assessment and evaluation during antenatal care to obtain favorable fetal outcomes.

Congenital anomalies (CA) are a large heterogeneous group of disorders of abnormal morphogenesis or biochemistry which present at birth and carry widely variable implications for morbidity and mortality. They are the leading cause of infant mortality in the USA, with an incidence of 3–4% of all births. CA are the fourth leading cause of neonatal mortality worldwide, with an estimated 295,000 deaths annually. The enormous variability in the clinical presentation in terms of severity, time of occurrence, course, complications, management, and outcomes makes the evaluation of CA complicated, highly specific, and individualized. The anomalies can impart tremendous physical, social, and emotional distress on the patient with massive emotional, social, financial, and medical implications for the family and society. The diagnosis may remain elusive despite rigorous, elaborate, and extensive investigations in many cases. While the enormous strides in genetic testing and gene modification therapy have an encouraging impact on the diagnosis and treatment, the risk assessment of recurrence in the family and population of CA remains obscure in most cases due to the lack of information and referable evidence.

Abstract.Katabuchi H, Honda R, Tajima T, Ohtake H, Kageshita T, Ono T, Okamura H. Clear cell sarcoma arising in the retroperitoneum.Clear cell sarcoma is a rare soft-tissue neoplasm, arising most commonly in the tendons and aponeuroses of young adults. We report here the first female case of clear cell sarcoma arising in the retroperitoneum with clinical features similar to those of malignant ovarian tumors. Aspects of clinical presentation, histopathologic evaluation, and treatment are described.

Lysosomal Diseases

There are four lysosomal diseases of which the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis is the rarest. The clinical presentation and their characteric abnormal ultrastructure subdivide them into four types. These are known as the Infantile form (Santavuori-Haltia), Late infantile form (Jansky-Bielschowsky), Juvenile form (Batten-Spielmeyer-Voght) and the Adult form (Kuph's).An 8 year old Omani girl presented wth myclonic jerks since the age of 4 years, with progressive encephalopathy, mental retardation, ataxia and loss of vision. An ophthalmoscopy was performed followed by rectal suction biopsies (fig. 1). A previous sibling had died of an undiagnosed neurological disorder with a similar clinical picture.
