The objective of this study was to see the pattern of histopathological lesions in uterine corpus of hysterectomy specimens. Material & Methods: This descriptive study conducted in Bannu Medical College, Bannu, Pakistan from January 2011 to April 2014. A total of 160 abdominal hysterectomies were included in the study. The inclusion criteria was only abdominal hysterectomies with corpus uterine lesions of any age, where as an exclusion criteria was vaginal hysterectomies and lesions of cervix, fallopian tubes and ovaries as well as normal corpus hysterectomies. A minimum of two sections and a maximum of six sections were taken from corpus lesion of the uterus. Sections 5 micron thick were stained with H&E and reported by Histopathologist. Results: A total of 160 hysterectomies were included in this study with an age range from 25 to 70 years. The most common age encountered was betw...

STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional comparative study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Pathology Department, Bannu Medical College, Bannu, KPK, from January 2012 to December 2013. METHODOLOGY Paracentesis of 20 ml of ascitic fluid tapped from cirrhotic patients with SBPwas carried out by a single technologist. The analysis included differential leukocyte count (DLC), while 5 ml each of the fluid was inoculated into conventional culture media and BACTEC blood culture bottle. All the data were analysed on (SPSS) version 16 to determine frequencies with percentages and mean values with standard deviation. Chi-square test was used for comparing the yield of conventional and blood culture bottle methods. P-value was considered significant if < 0.05. RESULTS In 105 cases of ascitic f...

Objective: To determine the histological types of endometrial lesions in curettage specimens, of women having abnormal uterine bleeding. Methodology: This descriptive study was conducted in Bannu Medical st st College from 1 March 2011 to 31 May 2014. A total of 170 endometrial curettings were included in the study. The inclusion criteria was sufficient endometrial specimen from women of any age with abnormal uterine bleeding, where as the exclusion criteria was insufficient curetting specimen. A minimum of one sections and a maximum of three sections were taken from the endometrial specimen. Sections 5 micron thick were prepared and stained with H&E and reported by histopathologist. The data was entered and analyzed in SPSS version 17. Results: A total of 170 endometrial specimens were included in this study with a...

The disease is common in tropical and sub tropical areas of the worldwith various hematological manifestations. It is characterized by fever, visceromegaly, weight loss,pancytopenia and hypergammaglobulenemia. The disease is silent killer, invariably killing almost alluntreated patients, but curable with hematological improvement within 4-6 weeks of treatment.OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of Visceral Leishmaniasis in patints with cytopenias .MATERIAL AND METHODS: A descriptive study conducted in Pathology department, HayatabadMedical Complex, Hayatabad from September 1, 2012 to August 31, 2013. This study comprises of 126patients, subjected to complete blood counts. Diagnosis were confirmed by finding Amastigote( L/Dbody) from bonemarrow aspirate. All the patients who were referred to pathology Department of thehospital for bone marrow examination, with the result...

The objective ofstudy was to determine the frequency and histological types of ovarian neoplasia in biopsy specimensent to Pathology Department, Ayub Medical College Abbottabad.METHODOLOGY: This descriptive study was carried out in Pathology Department, Ayub MedicalCollege Abbottabad. The duration of this study was one year (10.7.2012 to 10.7.2013) All thespecimens were received in 10% buffered formalin, gross examination was performed andrepresentative sections were taken. At least two blocks were made: slides were prepared and stainedwith hematoxylin and eosin stain. Diagnosis was recorded. The data were analyzed for frequency, ratio,percentage, mean and standard deviation.RESULTS: In 100 ovarian tumors 81% were benign, 18% were malignant and 1% as metastatic. Mostof the tumors (72%) were cystic on gross examination. Serous cystadenoma was the commonest benigntumor (33%) and mucinous adenocarcinoma was the...

Most of the timestones are small and passes out in urine without causing problems. Sometimes a stone may causesretention of urine resulting in excruciating pain and needs prompt medical/ surgical treatment.MATERIAL AND METHODS: This descriptive study was carried out in Pathology DepartmentBannu Medical College Bannu. The duration of this study was three years (January, 2012 to December,2014). A total of 84 renal stones were analyzed by using chemical qualitative method. Each stonesample was washed, dried, crushed and then analysis was performed using qualitative chemical analysiskit Biolabo, Manufacturer Biolabo SAS, France.RESULTS: The commonest renal calculi are mixed stone 31 (%) f...

PLACE AND DURATION: Pathology Department Bannu Medical College Bannu KPK. Pakistan. The duration was two years from 1st January, 2012 to 31st December, 2013. METHODOLOGY: In this study 74 cases of exudative pleural effusion not otherwise specific (NOS) were included, all were subjected to blind pleural biopsy. Pleural biopsy was carried out under aseptic technique. The biopsy was fixed in formalin, processed in grades of alcohol, xylene, paraffin wax, block prepared, freezed and 5 micron thick sections taken, slide prepared and mounted in DPX, labeled and read out by histopathologist, diagnosis recorded. The data was collected on designed proforma and results analyzed using SPSS 16. RESULTS: In this study of 74 pleural biopsy the age range was 30-65 years. Male were 47 and female were 27, male to female ratio was 1.74:1. The most common age group invol...
