Recanalisation of vas after vasectomy. Evaluation of various techniques in dogs.

A critical study of various techniques for end-to-end vaso-vasostomies without or with internal splints on 41 dogs is presented. The results of vaso-vasostomy without any internal splint were significantly better than those with splints, both for primary as well as secondary repair after 6 weeks. The presence of an internal splint was associated with a high incidence of severe infection in the vas, epididymis and testis. An end-to-end mucosa-to-mucosa anastomosis using either 6/0 silk or Prolene under magnification is recommended as a simple and successful methods of recanalisation of the vas in clinical practice.

Colloid carcinoma of the breast with concomitant metastasis and a tuberculous lesion in the axillary lymph nodes. A case report.

A 30-year-old woman presented with a lump in the left breast and left axillary lymphadenopathy that, on fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), proved to be duct cell carcinoma with metastasis. Histology of the radical mastectomy specimen showed a mixed colloid carcinoma. Axillary lymph nodes revealed a variety of pathologic changes consisting of reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis and metastasis. A combination of a tuberculous lesion and metastasis in the same lymph nodes was also found. During follow-up, after radiotherapy, the patient developed left supraclavicular and right cervical lymphadenopathy that, on FNAC, revealed a tuberculous lesion and metastasis, respectively. The rarity of this condition with double pathology is highlighted, and the reason behind the limitations of FNA in subtyping the primary malignancy and its failure to detect the tuberculous lesion in the axillary lymph node are discussed.
