Lipoma in Floor of Mouth.

Lipomas are adipose mesenchymal neoplasms, they are relatively uncommon in the oral cavity, representing about 0.5% to 5% of all benign oral tumors1. The clinical presentation is typically as an asymptomatic yellowish mass. The overlying epithelium is intact, and superficial blood vessels are usually evident over the tumour. We report a case with an unusual and atypical presentation of the lipomas in the floor of mouth, which is quite a rare site in the literature even in the oral cavity lipomas.

Early diagnosis of neonatal septicemia by sepsis screen.

A study of 100 neonates with clinical suspicion of septicemia, admitted in neonatal intensive care unit of SCSM General Hospital, Solapur was carried out to assess the utility of various indices of sepsis screen. Bacterial and hematological profile of these neonataes was studied. Parameters of sepsis screen such as leukocyte count, band form to neutrophil ratio, neutrophils with toxic granulations, micro ESR and test for C-reactive protein were analysed to know their sensitivity and specificity.

Histopathological study of endometrium in infertility.

A study of 200 cases of primary and secondary infertility was carried out in the department of pathology, Dr. V.M. Medical College, Solapur. Endometrial specimens were evaluated in the light of menstrual history to find out the incidence of various endometrial changes in cases of infertility. All cases underwent endometrial biopsy premenstrually. Haematoxylin and eosin staining was done for dating of endometrium and diagnosis of corpus luteal defect and anovalutory cycles. PAS stain was done in 50 cases of infertility with control of 25 cases to detect the amount of glycogen. Menstrual problems were seen in 38.2% of patients. Anovulatory infertility was present in 28.2% cases. Luteal phase defect was seen in 20% cases. Cystoglandular hyperplasia was seen in 1.7% cases & tuberculous endometritis was present in 2.6% cases. Glycogen deficiency was seen in 30% cases of luteal phase defect.
