Renal angiomyolipomas are relatively uncommon renal tumors which grossly resemble renal cell carcinoma. In view of the paucity of renal angiomyolipoma in the Indian literature, we are reporting one case in a 28 year old female without tuberous sclerosis.
Granular cell tumor is a relatively uncommon tumor of doubtful histogenesis. Nineteen cases of granular cell tumor reported in the department of Pathology, Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore, were analysed. Majority of tumors were seen in third to fifth decade mainly in females. The occurrence in rarer sites like caecum, of which only two cases have been so far reported tempted us to publish this study.
Chorioangiomas are commonest benign tumors of placenta, but those measuring more than 5 cms are rare. We present three cases of large chorioangiomas. Of the three, two cases were associated with hydramnios and premature labour.
