    Abstract: Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) is the first line test in screening of prostate cancer. The increase in PSA depends on differentiation of tumour cells. Gleason grading is one of the most powerful predictors of biological behaviour and influential factors used to determine treatment. PSA, when combined with Gleason score and clinical stage, improves... Show More

    Abstract: Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) was first described by Hardy and Anderson in 1968 . HES may result either from eosinophilic differentiation of a clone of neoplastic cells or from reactive eosinophilia. It appears lightly that in many patients idiopathic HES is actually a chronic myeloproliferative disorder. There is vaguely overlapping clinico-pat... Show More

    Abstract: A 54 years male patient presenting with multiple complaints was found to have large pericardial effusion leading to tamponade. Radiological findings were suggestive of a right adrenal mass. Cytological evaluation of the pericardial fluid revealed features of malignant effusion. Adrenocortical origin of the malignant cells was confirmed by immunosta... Show More
