It is not a disease entity, but rather a triad of findings that may result from a number of disease processes. The causes of pancytopenia vary depending on multiple factors. This prospective study was conducted to find out various causes of pancytopenia and their relative frequencies in a tertiary care hospital in northern India. Methods: In the present study, 60 cases were taken up for a period of 2 years at a tertiary care hospital in Northern India. The study was composed of a brief work up of history, general and systemic examination and complete hematological work up. All the data was compiled and a final diagnosis was made. Results: The age of the patients varied from 6 months to 70 years consisting of 34 males (57%) and 26 females (43%). Megaloblastic anemia was the most common cause (66.7%) followed by aplastic anemia (19%) and malignancies (6.7%). Infections and parasitic infestations accounted for the rest. Conclusion: In our study, more than 50% of the cases are due to megaloblastic anemia prevalent due to dietary deficiency & malnutrition. Also, infections and infestations (Tuberculosis, malaria, kalaazar and typhoid) should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis of pancytopenia.","PeriodicalId":20962,"journal":{"name":"Recent Advances in Pathology & Laboratory Medicine","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86972835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mucinous carcinomas in gall bladder constitutes 2.5% of all gallbladder carcinomas. Pure mucinous (colloid carcinomas) are even rarer. Its rarity deserves this case being highlighted. Less than twenty-five cases of mucinous carcinomas of the gallbladder have been reported so far. A 46-year-old female presented with recurrent right upper quadrant pain along with nausea and vomiting for last one year. Liver function tests & kidney function tests were within range. USG Abdomen revealed an enlarged gallbladder measuring 8x5 cm with no stones. No other abnormalities were found on USG. A simple cholecystectomy was performed for chronic cholecystitis. Gross examination of specimen showed glistening, globular, soft and cystic gall bladder filled with mucoid tenacious yellowish material. There was no discernible mass lesion. Microscopic examination revealed pools of extracellular mucinous material dissecting muscular wall containing few signet ring cells. A diagnosis of colloid or pure mucinous adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder was made. Pure mucinous carcinomas as seen in exocrine glands like breast, pancreas and skin are very uncommon in gall bladder. Mucinous variant (>50% stromal mucin) are most of the time admixed with conventional type. Mucinous carcinomas most of the time are large and advanced at the time of diagnosis and are aggressive in nature than conventional type. This case is presented owing to its extreme rarity.","PeriodicalId":20962,"journal":{"name":"Recent Advances in Pathology & Laboratory Medicine","volume":"6 2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76888287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
