Abstract
INTRODUCTION The present study aimed to calculate the burden of oral cavity cancer (OCC) including incidence, mortality rate, survival rate, and influence of predictive factors such as clinicopathological, demographic findings, and treatment modalities. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data in this retrospective study were collected from India's population-based cancer registry (PBCR) from 2010 to 2016. A total of 1051 cases of OCC were noted. Incidence and mortality rates were calculated. The cumulative survival outcome was calculated using Kaplan-Meier (KM) method. Prognostic factors were estimated using the Cox proportional hazard regression model. RESULTS The age-standardized incidence rates (ASR), and mortality rate (ASMR), of overall OCC cases were 10.1 and 8.4 per 100 thousand population, respectively. Five-year overall survival (OS) was 32.3%. Survival outcome was significantly associated with the given treatment (Chi-square value = 58.17, P = 0.0001) and anatomical site (Chi-square value = 26.70, P = 0.0001). 17.6% of cases in males were <39-year age group. The hazard ratio (HR) in the age group of >50 years was 2.065 (95% CI 1.34-3.18, P = 0.001). Combination therapy had an HR of 2.630 (95% CI 1.91-3.63, P value 0.000). Tonsillar carcinoma (C09) (95% CI 1.04-3.12) had 1.8 times more chances of death than lip carcinoma (C00). CONCLUSION OCC cases are increasing in the younger population, and overall, cases show higher mortality rates with reduced survival outcomes. Prognostic factors such as age >50 years, single modality treatment, and alveolar and tonsillar malignancy are associated with poor survival. OCC robust screening by a trained health professional can improve early detection and increases awareness and lower mortality of the disease.

Abstract
Mature cystic teratoma of the ovary is the most common type of germ cell tumor. It constitutes approximately 20% of all ovarian neoplasms. As a rare occurrence, however, several types of benign and malignant tumours developing secondarily in dermoid cysts have been reported. Those of central nervous origin are almost exclusively gliomas of astrocytic, ependymal or oligodendroglial lineage. Choroid plexus tumors are unusual intracranial tumors which comprised of only 0.4-0.6% of all brain tumors. These are neuroectodermal in origin and similar in structure to a normal choroid plexus in the form of multiple papillary fronds mounted on a well vascularized connective tissue stroma. The present case report highlights the presence of a choroid plexus tumor in a mature cystic teratoma of the ovary in a 27-year-old woman who came for safe confinement and cesarean section.

Abstract
Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) is a rare soft tissue neoplasm of low malignant potential often misdiagnosed clinically. It typically occurs in the superficial soft tissues of the extremities in children and young adults. It is characterized by recurrences and rarely metastases. Surgery remains the mainstay of management. Here, we present a rare case report of AFH in a 65-year-old male diagnosed using fine needle aspiration as spindle cell sarcoma. The patient underwent wide local excision. The patient is under follow-up. There is no evidence of metastases, and the patient is disease free three-years post-excision.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ovarian neoplasms affect a huge part of the female population and, simultaneously, have the worst prognosis among all gynecological malignancies. In most of the population-based cancer registries (PBCR) in India, ovarian cancer is the third leading site of cancer among women, trailing behind cervix and breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the present study, we have summarized the number of new cases of ovarian malignancy and its profile observed in the PBCR in central India during 7 years. REPORTS During a 7-year duration (2010-2016), 6,515 cancer patients were recorded at PBCR, and 228 cases were of ovarian malignancy. It was observed that most of the cases in this study were in 41-50 years of life. The age-standardized incidence rate of ovarian cancers in the present study was 4.61 per 100,000, and the crude incidence rate was 5.08 per 100,000. The crude mortality rate and age-standardized mortality rate of ovarian cancer were 2.3 and 2.02 per 100,000, respectively. Serous carcinoma was our study's most common histological subtype (43.75%), followed by mucinous carcinoma. CONCLUSION A steady increase has been observed in the incidence of ovarian cancer in several registries. A significant goal in managing ovarian cancer is to develop an effective test to detect the disease at its earlier stages, resulting in reduced mortality.

Abstract
Malignant phyllodes tumor (MPT) with heterologous sarcomatous differentiation is extremely rare. We reviewed eleven cases of MPT with heterologous sarcomatous differentiation at our institute between 2009 and 2020. Demographic and clinical data were collected from patient records in hospital information system and population-based cancer registry. Each case reviewed retrospectively for the clinical features, prior treatment history, radiological imaging, histopathological and immunohistochemical details, disease stage, outcome and follow-up. On histopathology, four cases showed heterologous liposarcomatous differentiation, three cases showed fibrosarcomatous differentiation, two cases showed osteosarcomatous, and each case had angiosarcomatous and undifferentiated sarcomatous differentiation. Meticulous histopathological sampling along with a correct histopathological diagnosis and subtyping of the heterologous sarcomatous components is essential for planning treatment modality and prognostication of patients, although there are no clear-cut guidelines for surgical management and targeted therapy of these patients due its rarity and paucity of literature.

Abstract
Adenoid cystic carcinoma is rare, locally aggressive salivary gland tumor. It has indolent course, multiple local recurrences and delayed distant metastasis in lung, bone, liver and soft tissues which are detected up to a maximum of 5.5 years after local-regional resection of the primary tumor. Intracranial remote metastasis of ACCs is extremely rare, and very few cases have been reported in the literature. Here we report a rare case of intracranial remote metastasis of ACC of the parotid gland developed after 15 years of primary curative surgery, emphasizing long term follow up on these cases.

Abstract
Mutations of p53 gene is one of the most common events in human cancers including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). However, its role in carcinogenesis and association with regard to prognosis is still under investigation and unclear. The aim was to study the expression of p53 in patients of OSCC and correlation with clinical presentation and prognosis. In this retrospective observational pilot study, we examined expression of p53 in 50 histologically diagnosed cases of OSCC and correlated it with initial clinical presentation and clinical events in follow up period. p53 expression was significantly negative (94%) in patients with history of only oral tobacco consumption while cases with additional history of smoking or alcohol were positive (p = 0.0001 and 0.011). On the other hand, aggressive course of the disease was found to be significant with p53 positivity in the form of lymph nodal extension (13 out of 17 cases) (p = 0.011) and recurrence (6 out of 10 cases) (p = 0.024). p53 was overexpressed (positive) in predisposing factors like smoking and alcohol but not in OSCC associated with chewing tobacco. p53 overexpression is also associated with advanced TNM stage. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report where association of p53 overexpression and oral tobacco consumption associated OSCC was not observed and we recommend that carcinogenic events in chewing tobacco induced OSCC should be studied separately for its unique set of mutations.

Abstract
Spermatogenesis is regulated by complex tissue specific gene expression in the testis to achieve normal male fertility. X-chromosome specific TATA binding protein (TBP)-associated factor 7L (hTAF7L) is one of the transcriptional regulator genes considered essential for spermatogenesis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of variants/mutations in the testis-specific hTAF7L gene in non-obstructive azoospermia and severe oligozoospermia male infertility. We studied 156 idiopathic non-obstructive azoospermic, severe oligozoospermic infertile males and 50 fertile proven controls. Infertile males and control subjects were genotyped for variants of the hTAF7L gene using polymerase chain reaction and a direct Sanger sequencing approach. The odds ratio evaluated the association of hTAF7L gene variants with idiopathic male infertility. The variants found in the hTAF7L gene were subjected to an in-silico analysis study. In infertile study subjects, we observed 11 single base pair nucleotide changes at various exons and three frameshift variants at exon 10 in the hTAF7L gene. We also found more than one variant in some non-obstructive azoospermia and severe oligozoospermia infertile males along with control subjects. All these variants changed the amino acid sequences in the hTAF7L gene. However, similar changes were also seen in fertile subjects, and the differences were not statistically significant. In-silico tools also predicted that the variants were likely to be benign. The variants in cDNA of the hTAF7L gene were typical SNPs. It is found that the hTAF7L gene is highly polymorphic and these missense variants are not directly associated with male infertility. However, we feel that more studies are needed to elucidate the role of multiple variants of the hTAF7L gene in the process of normal spermatogenesis.

Abstract
A bezoar is a mass of indigestible foreign material found in the gastrointestinal tract, usually in the stomach. Trichobezoars are the second most common bezoars which are usually found in young psychiatric patients. A 15-year-old female patient presented with signs of intestinal obstruction and acute abdomen. The preoperative investigations revealed a perforated appendix, and an exploratory laparotomy was performed. Intraoperative findings showed presence of a mass of hair in the stomach along with a long tail extending into the small intestine. Postoperatively, the patient's condition worsened and she died because of complications of perforation peritonitis on day 3. Early diagnosis of Rapunzel syndrome can help in making early interventions. The prognosis of incidental detection of this condition depends on the accompanying cause.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endometrial carcinoma (EC) is the only gynecologic cancer with increasing incidence and mortality worldwide. This study aimed to determine association of cell proliferation marker CyclinD1, p53 and Ki67 with clinicopathological parameters and survival analysis in patients of EC. MATERIAL AND METHODS One hundred twenty-four histological confirmed cases of EC treated at our institute were included in this study. The appropriate tissue blocks of cases which were retrieved from 2010 to 2015. The study period was from Jan 2018 to Jan 2020. Data pertaining to patient's clinical details, histopathological diagnosis, treatment and follow up was retrieved from Hospital information System. Immunohistochemical evaluation of Cyclin D1, p53 and Ki67 was done. Overall survival and Disease-free survival for each category were analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS Of the 124 cases of EC, 108(87.09%) cases were of type I and 16 (12.89%) cases of type II. Overall positive staining of cyclinD1, p53 and Ki67 were noted in 53.22%, 42.22% and 32.3% cases respectively. The clinicopathological parameters affecting disease-free survival were age (p=0.039) histological types (p=0.007), and FIGO stage (p< 0.001). Elevated Ki67 index and p53 overexpression was associated with type II morphology (p= 0.001). Whereas Cyclin D1 expression was associated with type I morphology and poorly differentiated tumor. CONCLUSION Cyclin D1 positive staining, p53overexpression and an elevated Ki-67index all had an independent prognostic significance in endometrial cancer. This panel of biomarkers may help to differentiate tumor behavior, and necessity for more radical surgery and post- operative chemotherapy. Key words: Endometrial carcinoma; cyclin D1; p53; Ki67; Survival analysis.

Abstract
Background Leprosy is an ancient, chronic granulomatous infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae, principally affecting the skin and peripheral nerves. The clinical manifestations of leprosy are variable and can mimic a variety of other skin diseases. Thus, histopathological examination plays an important role in early diagnosis and management. Aim The aim was to study the clinicohistopathological correlation of all suspected cases of Hansen's disease. Materials and Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 207 skin biopsies obtained from patients clinically diagnosed as new lesion of leprosy in the department of pathology from 2016 to 2019. Demographic, clinical details of the patients were retrieved from hospital information system. Hematoxylin-eosin- and Fite-Faraco-stained sections were evaluated for features confirming leprosy and further categorized as per Ridley-Jopling system. Sensitivity, specificity, and concordance rates were studied. Results The male-to-female ratio was 1.5:1. The agreement between histopathological and clinical diagnoses was more than 90% in all the subclasses except for borderline tuberculoid leprosy (BT) and tuberculoid leprosy (TT) which showed an agreement of 86.5% and 88.4%, respectively. The sensitivity of clinical diagnosis ranged from 69.70% for indeterminate to 100% for histoid and neuritic types. The specificity ranged from 90% for BT and TT to 100% for neuritic leprosy. Conclusion Clinical diagnosis of early leprosy lesions offers difficulties even to experienced dermatologists as a patient presents in different clinicopathological forms, depending on host immune status. Thus, the correlation between clinical, histopathological, and bacteriological features is required for diagnosis and classification of leprosy. Nerve damage is irreversible; therefore, early detection and treatment is important to prevent Grade 2 disabilities.

Abstract
Primary squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC) of the breast is a very rare tumor accounting for less than 0.1% of all invasive breast carcinomas. This is a very aggressive, hormone receptor negative and treatment refractory tumor with poor prognosis. We report a case of primary SqCC of the breast in a 72-year-old postmenopausal lady who presented with a lump in the right breast. The treatment of primary SqCC of the breast does not differ from other common histological types of breast cancer and may involve surgery, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy and radiation therapy. Clinical trials including large series of these rare tumors are needed to increase our knowledge and to improve patient's outcome.

Abstract
Primary cardiac tumors are rare. Of these the majorities are benign and about 75% are atrial myxomas. One of the rarest tumors affecting the heart is a cardiac paraganglioma. We report an unusual case of a left ventricular paraganglioma discovered during autopsy in a 22-year female patient, a case of sudden death. This patient also had coexistent Pentalogy of Fallots along with transposition of pulmonary trunk to the left ventricle, a very rare congenital cyanotic heart disease. Chronic hypoxia due to congenital cyanotic heart disease is supposed to be the cause of development of paraganglioma in heart in these patients.

Abstract
Adenocarcinoma of the rete testis was encountered in a 62-year-old man. The tumour was localised in the region of the testicular hilum as a greyish-white nodule that showed no involvement of the adjacent testicular parenchyma or the epididymis. On microscopical examination, there was a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma separated by fibrovascular stroma, entirely confined to the testicular hilum. This primary carcinoma of the rete testis presented as a haematocele.
