Abstract

Background: Maternal infection with rubella in the first trimester of pregnancy result in congenital rubella syndrome (CRS). It caused blindness, deafness, congenital heart dissease and mental retardation. One of the main cause of blindness in CRS is congenital cataract. Infant affected with CRS worldwide estimated 238.000 each year and 46.000 live in South East Asia.Objective: This study aimed to looked for other ocular and non ocular manifestation from 0-11months old congenital cataract infants based on World Health Organization (WHO) CRS case definiton: suspected, clinically confirmed and labaratory confirmed.Methods:This is a retrospective observational study. We colected all data from computer base medical record, patient with congenital cataract 0-11 months old that came to Pediatric Ophthalmology unit Cicendo Eye Hospital from January 2012 until December 2013. Age, sex, laterality, axial length, cataract morphology, retinopathy pigmentary, cardiac dissorder, hearing impairment, mental dissorder and laboratory serology rubella for IgM and IgG were recorded.Results: We found ninety three patients diagnosed with CRS from congenital cataract cases. Ocular manifestation include microphthalmia in 63 eyes (33.9%), microcornea in 30 eyes (16.1%), and pigmentary retinopathy in 1 eye (0.5%) . The most common type of cataract morphology was nuclear type (49.9%.). Non-ocular manifestation include cardiac dissorder in 16 cases (17.2%), hearing impairment in 1 case (1.1%) and mental retardation in 6 cases (6.4%). Case definition based on WHO criteria were 93 cases (100%) for suspected, 20 cases (25.8%) for clinically confirmed and 15 cases (42,8%) for laboratory confirmed.Conclusion: Ocular manifestation for CRS in congenital cataract 0-11 months old were microphthalmia, microcornea, pigmentary retinopathy. Other manifestation found were cardiac disorder, hearing impairment and mental retardation.

Abstract

Peritoneal Malignant Mesothelioma (PMM) is uncommon disease, but increasing in frequency nowadays. This highly aggressive malignancy occurs most commonly in older men and has a strong association with asbestos exposure. It manifests most often as diffuse sheet-like or nodular thickening of the peritoneal surfaces, but it may occasionally be a localized mass. The very large variations of its clinical features and its histological appearance mimicking adenocarcinoma make this tumor is difficult to diagnose.We report a case of PMM that previously diagnose as adenocarcinoma of the ovary. A 29 year-old female came to gynecology clinic with para-ovarian mass. She had no history of asbestos exposure. The mass was oval 9x6x6 cm in size, whitish and firm. Microscopic features showed papillary dense structure with desmoplastic stroma, covered by a layer of cuboidal to columnar cells. The cells with mild pleomorphism and hyperchromatic nuclei, mitotic figures were minimal. The immunohistochemistry tests revealed positive for D2-40, Calretinin, CK8 and CK 18, weakly positive for Inhibin and EMA, and negative for CEA and AFP. Patient had been received chemotherapy, there were no metastasis.

Abstract

Pituitary adenoma contributes to 15% of all intracranial neoplasm. It is usually following benign course and some of them are silent (asymptomatic clinically, but hormone-secreting). Silent adenoma usually found incidentally or when the patients show mass effect (neurological deficits). Many of histologically aggressive silent adenoma subtypes are associated with invasiveness, recurrence and progression to clinically functioning adenomas. Aggressive silent adenoma radiologically tends to invade in downward direction, invading bone, sinus cavernosus, parasellar region. The nature of aggressive silent adenoma subtypes is differing in nature compared to benign nature of pituitary adenoma and should be confirmed immunohistochemically to determine the prognosis and anticipate the risk of recurrence or progression. The case illustration show a real case of 46 years old female progressive headache and visual disturbance diagnosed with non-functional pituitary macroadenoma but positive for more than one immunochemistry biomarker (plurihormonal aggressive silent adenoma).

Abstract

Epidermis and dermis of the skin attach each other because of the role of a structure which is called dermal-epidermal junction. The dermal-epidermal junction can be divided into three distinct zones named hemidesmosome-keratin intermediate filament complex, basement membrane, and anchoring fibril. Each part of the distinct zone has significant components for the integrity of the skin. Bullous pemphigoid is an autoimmune disorder caused by autoantibody against a 180-kDa molecule now called Bullous Pemphigoid Antigen 2 (BPAG2) or type XVII collagen within basement membrane. To date, the patophysiology and the components of dermal-epidermal junction that induce the blister formation remain unclear. Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita is an autoimmune disease with sub-epidermal blistering associated with autoimmunity to the collagen within anchoring fibrils. The pathophysiology and etiology—again—remain unknown.

Abstract

Introduction: Breast cancer can be classified into luminal A, luminal B, Her2+, dan basal-like molecular subtype according to genetic profile and immunophenotype. The aim of this study is to assess histopathologic and immunophenotype characteristics of breast cancer in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital Jakarta, Indonesia.Material and methods: This study is a cross-sectional retrospective study. The sample was 2632 breast cancer case in Department of Anatomical Pathology Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital from the year 2011 until 2015. ER, PR, Her2, Top2 α, and Ki67 immunohistochemical stain was then grouped into luminal A (ER+/PR+/Her2-/Ki67<20%) subtype, luminal B (ER+/PR+/Her2-/Ki67≥20%) subtype, Her2+ (ER-/PR-/Her2+) subtype, and basal-like (ER-/PR-/Her2-) subtype. Kendall’s Tau analysis was done to assess association between sample characteristics and molecular subtype, association between top2α positive and molecular subtype.Result: The most prevalent to the less prevalent breast cancer molecular subtype was luminal B (43,9%), Her2+ (14,6%), luminal A (14,0%), and basal-like (11,3%). There was a significant association between the tumor stage and breast cancer subtype (p=0,0001). There is also a significant association between Top2α expression and molecular subtype (p=0,0001).Conclusion: The most prevalent breast cancer molecular subtype was luminal B. There was an association between breast cancer molecular subtype and a higher degree and Top2α expression.
