  11. Vascular invasion What is the significance of the presence of tumour cells in the blood vessels? Transitional cell carcinoma

  12. Islands of tumour cells in the capsule of the bladder. What is the histological grade of this tumour? Transitional cell carcinoma

  13. What are the causes of fibrinous pericarditis? Fibrinous pericarditis

  14. Note the thickenened constrictive pericardium and the ares of caseation in the thickened the thickened pericardium. Tuberculous pericarditis

  15. This is a complication of fibrinous pericarditis What are he possible medical complications of this condition? Note thickened pericardium. Constrictive Pericarditis

  17. G10: 002 A female Luo 35 years old. Productive cough for six months and she was grossly wasted. Diagnosis: tuberculosis bronchopneumonia. Note: Part of adherent pericardium. Consider this patient’s patho-physiology of the respiratory system. Question: What are the ways in which a patient can get TB bronchopneumonia? Note the tubercles within the lung parenchyma TB Bronchopneumonia.

  18. G18: 162 What is this organ? What are the lesions most likely to be? Where might they come from? 1) Lung 2) Pulmonary metastases 3) Liver, Breast, G.I. tract, kidney. Adult male presented with severe dyspnoea and haemoptysis. CXR revealed multiple rounded opacities in both lungs and a diagnosis of pulmonary metastases from a primary of uncertain origin was made. The patient died shortly after admission. Autopsy confirmed the presence of multiple lung tumour, but a careful search failed to reveal any obvious primary source. Histology showed the tumour to be adenocarcinoma and a final diagnosis of alveolar cell carcinoma. This is a rare lung tumour and is often confused with pulmonary metastases. Where may lung metastases arise from? Alveolar cell carcinoma mimicking metastases to the lung.

  19. G17:162 Clinical summary: A male 60 years old. Chronic cough for six months, sometimes producing blood stained sputum. X-ray of chest suggested lung cancer. Diagnosis: Carcinoma of lung and bronchiectasis. Note: Involvement of the pleura. Questions: Is this tumour common in Ugandan Africans? What systemic effect can carcinoma of the lung produce? What histological type can this tumour be? What do you know about the etiology of lung cancer? Carcinoma of the lung with bronchiectasis.

  20. H141: B Clinical A male African, 50 years old. A mass growing on the tongue for some months. Specimen: A solid tumour on the left side of the tongue. Diagnosis: Carcinoma of tongue. Question: Which group of lymph nodes will first be involved by this tumour? Carcinoma of the tongue

  21. H 150 B Clinical: Male African, 50 year. Dysphagia for some time. On examination he was wasted and dehydrated. Specimen: large solid granular tumour filling the oesophagus Diagnosis: Carcinoma of the Oesophagus Questions: How does the tumour spread and what complications may arise? In which area of East Africa is this area commonly seen. Carcinoma of the Oesophagus

  22. H 151: A Clinical: An adult male presented with hepatomegaly and was grossly wasted. Specimen: A large raised carcinomatous ulcer of the upper end of the lesser curve o the stomach. Diagnosis: Carcinoma of stomach (Ulcerating type). Questions: What are the local effects of the tumour? Which part of the world has a high incidence of this tumour? Carcinoma of the stomach

  23. H 153: B Clinical: A male patient presented with gross wasting and anemia (Hemoglobin 5 g/ml) Specimen: An irregular, rough polypoidal tumour of the caecum. Diagnosis: Carcinoma of the caecum Question: What is the mechanism of the anemia in this case? Carcinoma of the caecum

  24. H 200: B Clinical: A female African 40 years old. Abdominal paid for 3 weeks and palpable mass in the abdomen. Laparotomy done. Specimen: A solid white tumour at the apex of the intussusceptum has caused the intussusception. Diagnosis: Malignant lymphoma: intussusceptions. Question: What other lesions in the small intestine may lead to intussusceptions? Malignant lymphoma of the small intestine causing inussusception.

  25. H154: B Clinical: A male 60 years old, constipation, blood per rectum, loss of weight. Specimen: An annular, ulcerated carcinoma, with dilatation of the rectum above the tumour.

Specimen: A cirrhotic liver with large nodules (macronodular). A solid tumour of the right lobe is spreading to involve the left lobe. Diagnosis: Hepatocellular carcinoma and cirrhosis: Question: Any views of carcinogenesis? Hepatocellular Carcinoma

  28. H 578: A Clinical: An adult male had abdominal pain for some weeks before admission to the hospital. Specimen: Multiple diverticular on the mesenteric aspect of the small intestine. The upper specimen is congested and inflamed. Diagnosis: Diverticular disease of the small intestine. Questions: Is this disease common in Africans? What are the complications of the disease?

  29. H 578: D Clinical: A female patient 36 years old presented with acute abdominal paid and floating tumour in abdomen. Specimen: Large thin-walled cysts of mesentery, close to the intestine. Diagnosis: Mesenteric lymphatic cysts Question: These cysts may twist and produce acute pain. Could this have occurred in this patient? Mesenteric lymphatic cysts

  30. H540: B Clinical: A male Rwanda 40 years old had epigastric pain for some years. One morning he collapsed and was rushed to hospital.

Intussusception

  32. H 930: P Clinical: A male African, 20 years old. Specimen: Congestion and ulceration of esophagus due to vertebra of fish. Diagnosis: Fish bone in the esophagus. Note the surrounding inflammatory reaction. Question: What are the possible complications of this disease? Fish bone in the oesophagus

  33. Fish bone in the oesophagus

  34. Go to the following link to about Burkitts lymphoma Starry sky appearance Burkitts Lymphoma

  35. CD20.What are cellular differentiation markers? Burkitts Lymphoma Immunohistochemistry. CD20 positive

  36. The Ki-67 is a cellular marker for proliferation. It is strictly associated with ell proliferation. During the interphase Ki-67 antigen can be exclusively detected within the nucleus in mitosis most of the protein is relocated to the surface of the chromosomes. Ki-67 protein is present during all active phases of the cell cycle (G1, S, G2, and mitosis), but is absent from resting cells (G0). Ki-67 is used as a marker to determine the growth fraction of a given cell population. Does the growth fraction affect the prognosis of the tumour? How? Burkitts lymphoma-Immunohistochemistry. Ki67
