Soft tissue tumours of eyelid.
Soft tissue tumours of eyelid constituted 28.9% of all eyelid tumours. Morphologically they were either vascular 32 cases (49.23%), neural 24 cases (36.92%), fibrous 6 cases (9.23%) or adipose tissue tumours 3 cases (4.62%). The age ranged from 1-30 years, haemangiomas and neurofibromas were present since birth. Upper eyelid was involved in 81.54% cases. Neurofibroma was associated with generalized lesions in 13.6% cases.

Hepatitis B virus infection in pregnant women and its transmission to infants.
HBsAg was screened by Reverse Passive Haemagglutination Test (RPHA) and was confirmed by ELISA test in 157 pregnant females and their newborns. Anti-HBc and IgM anti-HBc was done in these cases by enzyme immuno-assay. The overall prevalence of HBsAg in mothers was 16 out of 157 (10 per cent) and in cord blood of newborns 5 per cent. The transplacental transmission was found in eight of 16 (50 per cent) HBsAg positive mothers. Anti-HBc was present in 12 out of 16 (75 per cent) HBsAg positive mothers and, of these, seven (58 per cent) neonates acquired HBsAg infection. IgM anti-HBc was present in seven out of eight (88 per cent) HBsAg positive neonates, suggesting active in utero infection. Fourteen out of 16 (88 per cent) neonates born to HBsAg positive mothers were alive and healthy, one was stillborn and one had a congenital anomaly.

Tumours of eyelid: a clinicopathologic study.
A retrospective study of 207 cases of eyelid tumours and tumour like lesions, diagnosed histopathologically, was carried out for the period 1957 to 1991. There was a slight preponderance of males as the male/female ratio was 1.3:1. The age of the cases ranged from one to 80 years. Benign tumours were usually seen in the first two decades whereas the malignant tumours were common in the age group of 40 to 60 years. Malignancy was noticed in 85 cases (41.1%). Of these cases of malignant tumours, basal cell carcinoma was the commonest (38.8%) followed by sebaceous carcinoma (27.1%), squamous cell carcinoma (22.4%), basisquamous cell carcinoma (8.2%) and melanoma (3.5%). The ratio of basal cell carcinoma to squamous cell carcinoma was 1.74: 1. Of the 122 benign lesions common ones were vascular tumours (21.3%), neural tumours (18.0%), dermoid cysts (16.4%), squamous cell papilloma (13.1%) and naevi (12.3%).

Malakoplakia of bone presenting as a pathological fracture.
A male aged 54 years presented with a pathological fracture of the right femur at the subtrochanteric level. The fracture site showed a lytic lesion with expansion of the bone, considered to be a metastasis. On histology, however, the area turned out to be malakoplakia of bone. The patient responded well to antibiotics and sulphonamides along with skeletal traction. This appears to be the fourth reported case of malakoplakia of bone.

Histological changes in reptilean spinal cord transection: correlation with functional recovery.
The study of spinal cord regeneration in the phylogenetic scale is likely to help us in the understanding of the problem in the human situation. After spinal transection in lizards, histological changes in the spinal cord were studied and correlated with functional recovery. Some changes in spinal cord, suggestive of regeneration between the two stumps were observed. The recovery of function did not appear to be dependent on synaptic continuity.

Surface epithelial tumours of the ovary.
Surface epithelial tumours (SET) constituted 65.7% of all the ovarian tumours. Benign tumours were 182 (71.9%), of low malignant potential (LMP) 11 (4.4%) and frank malignant 60 (23.7%). Maximum number of cases, 102 (40.3%) belonged to 3rd decade. Mean age for serous cystoma was 31.5% years as compared to 30.8 years for mucinous cystoma. The commonest presenting feature was the abdominal lump observed in 182 cases (71.9%) and pain in abdomen in 120 (47.4%). Serous cystomas were t he most frequent tumours and comprised of 32.21% of all the ovarian tumours or 46.01% of all the SET or 65.56% of all the cystic SET. Seventeen (11.7%) of serous tumours were bilateral. Mucinous cystomas constituted 14.55% of all the ovarian tumours or 30.8% of all the SET. These tumours were bulky (78.6%; 15 cm diameter) and multilocular (83.9%). Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma was the commonest malignant epithelial tum our (36.6%). Endometroid carcinoma comprised 3.65% of all the SET or 8.4% of all the ovarian malignancy. Squamous metaplasia was seen in one case whereas 2 cases were of mesodermal mixed tumour with heterologous element as rhabdomyosarcoma. Clear cell carcinoma, Brenner tumour and unclassified group constituted 0.79%, 1.18% and 1.58% of all SET respectively.

Double malignancy in a benign cystic teratoma of the ovary (a case report).
A case of malignant change in a benign cystic tertoma of the ovary has been reported where there was double malignancy. Leiomyosarcoma was associated with squamous cell carcinoma (In situ). The patient remained well for one year after ovariotomy.

Heterotopic bone formation in renal cell carcinoma (a case report).
A case of renal cell carcinoma with heterotopic bone formation occurring in a female aged 55 years has been reported. There was no haematuria and the morphological picture showed only ossified stroma and no sarcomatoid appearance.

Morphological changes in diseased gall bladder: a study of 415 cholecystectomies at Aligarh.
Morphological changes of gall bladder were studied in 415 cholecystectomy specimens. There was a preponderance of females (male to female ratio--1:6.5). The mean age of the cases was 43.6 years. Most of the cases (63.4%) were in the 4th and 5th decades of life. The average duration of illness was 2.8 years. Associated cholelithiasis was present in 85.3% cases. Gall-stones were of mixed variety in 78.2% cases, cholesterol type in 15.3% cases and both types were present in 6.5% cases. Chronic cholecystitis was the main histological diagnosis (50.8%). Other lesions observed were adenomyomatosis (8.2%), adenomatous hyperplasia (10.1%), granulomatous cholecystitis (4.1%), cholesterosis (2.7%), acute cholecystitis (4.1%), acute on chronic infection (10.8%), sub-acute cholecystitis (2.4%) and carcinoma gall bladder (6.8%). The frequency of Rokitansky-Aschoff's sinuses was closely related with the degree of inflammatory response. In 13 (6.2%) cases the diagnosis of chronic follicular cholecystitis was made. All the cases of cholesterosis were multiparous females and of younger age. Of the malignant lesions, adenocarcinoma was the commonest (96.4%).

Primary malignant lymphoma of the gastro-intestinal tract: a clinicopathological study of 24 cases.
Twenty-four cases of primary lymphoma of the gastro-intestinal tract were diagnosed during the period 1970 to 1991. There was a preponderance of males and the male to female ratio being 1.4:1. Age ranged from 9-70 years, mean 32.2 years. Small intestine was involved in 50% cases, large bowel in 9 cases (37.5%) and stomach in 3 cases (12.5%). There were 5 cases (20.8%) of Hodgkin's disease and 19 cases (79.2%) were of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. All cases of gastric lymphoma complained of epigastric pain, weight loss and vomiting. In lymphoma of small intestine, 8 patients complained of pain associated with vomiting and 6 patients complained of distension of abdomen. In large bowel lymphoma, pain in right iliac fossa was complained by 4 patients and bleeding per rectum by 3 patients. Out of all the 24 cases, changes in bowel habit were noted in 15 patients and occult blood was positive in 13 cases. Palpable abdominal mass was noted in 14 patients. Histomorphologically, all the 3 cases in the stomach were of lymphocytic lymphoma diffuse type. Out of 19 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, 15 were of lymphocytic lymphoma and 4 were of histiocytic lymphoma.

Effect of pregnancy associated hypertension on immunoglobulin levels in newborns.
In a prospective study of 124 neonates born to mothers with normal pregnancy and pregnancy associated hypertension (PAH), serum IgG, IgA and IgM were estimated by single radial immunodiffusion technique. Significantly low levels of IgG were found in mothers having PAH, as compared to normal pregnancy (p less than 0.001), whereas IgA and IgM showed no difference in the two groups. There was no statistical difference in maternal and cord blood IgG in either the control or study group. IgG was significantly higher (p less than 0.001) in cord blood of babies born by vaginal route as compared to forceps (via vaginal route) or cesarean section. IgA and IgM levels did not vary with mode of delivery.
