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

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.

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.

Dementia is a major public health concern that afflicts an estimated 24.3 million people worldwide. Great strides are being made in order to better diagnose, prevent, and treat these disorders. Dementia is associated with multiple complications, some of which can be life-threatening, such as dysphagia. There is great variability between dementias in terms of when dysphagia and other swallowing disorders occur. In order to prepare the reader for the other articles in this publication discussing swallowing issues in depth, the authors of this article will provide a brief overview of the prevalence, risk factors, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis, current treatment options, and implications for eating for the common forms of neurodegenerative dementias.
