Chronic neutrophilic leukemia--a case report.

Chronic neutrophilic leukemia is a rare hematological disorder with hepatosplenomegaly and sustained mature neutrophilic leucocytosis. Increased serum vitamin B12, increased serum urine acid levels and increased leukocyte alkaline phosphatase activity are the associated features in the absence of fever or any other underlying disorder to cause leukemoid reaction. We report one such rare case.

Histiocytic lymphoma simulating lepromatous leprosy--a case report.

Histiocytic lymphomas are known to begin with skin lesions and remain localised to the skin for months or years before visceral involvement becomes evident. We report a case of nodular histiocytic lymphoma with clinical features simulating lepromatous leprosy.

Synchronously performed prostatic fine needle aspiration and core biopsies--an appraisal.

One hundred and twenty-six patients underwent fine needle aspiration (FNA) and/or core biopsies of the prostate in a rurally located, non-oncospecialised organisational setting. The procedures were performed by the residents of varying seniority and experience. While a simple core biopsy alone had a greater diagnostic potential, (37/45) FNA was found to be a rapidly interpretable sampling methodology with consequent reduction of waiting period for diagnosis and institution of treatment. The two techniques taken together complemented each other by avoiding repeat biopsies, delaying diagnosis and therapy. In case FNA turned out to be inconclusive, the report on core biopsy would follow soon, unlike in a situation where they are done asynchronously.
