Aneuploid cells were detected in specimens from six of these patients. Four subsequently developed dysplasia and adenocarcinoma but, in the other two, biopsies had been reported as showing specialised epithelium only, with n...

Placental mesenchymal dysplasia is an underdiagnosed and a rare vascular anomaly of the placenta. It characterized by presence grape-like vesicles, which, on ultrasonography gives appearance partial mole. Histologically it can be differentiated mole absence trophoblastic proliferation. essential to make correct diagnosis as management outcome both these entities are vastly different. We present...

Metatropic dysplasia is a rare form of skeletal in which characteristic clinical and imaging features are found at birth. The short limbs with relatively long trunk seen the neonatal period change to childhood due progressive kyphoscoliosis. This condition should be diagnosed avoid diagnostic dilemma later life.
