Rhabdomyomatous Mesenchymal Hamartoma Clinical Overview and Report of a Case with Spontaneous Regression

Issue:

Vol 58, issue 6 (2009)

Pages:

607–9

ABSTRACT

A case of cutaneous rhabdomyomatous mesenchymal hamartoma in a 6-year old Afro-Caribbean girl is reported with review of the literature. The lesions were fine, located on the central face and became inapparent after six months. Spontaneous regression of these lesions has not been previously reported. Although rare, continued reporting will facilitate the elucidation of the clinical features and natural history of these lesions and the relationship to disordered embryogenesis.

Adequacy of Lymph Node Harvesting in Colorectal Cancer Management Improving Standards, Ensuring Quality

Issue:

Vol 61, issue 2 (2012)

Pages:

134–8

Synopsis:

The adequacy of lymph node resection at the University Hospital of the West Indies meets accepted standards for right-sided colon cancers but is less than adequate for left-sided cancers. Ensuring adequate node sampling is a dual responsibility of the reporting pathologist and attending surgeon as this has important implications for treatment, prognosis and quality of care.

ABSTRACT

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the adequacy of nodal sampling in resection specimens for colorectal carcinoma in a Jamaican population.

Methods: The pathology records of all patients who underwent operation for colorectal carcinoma at the University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI) during the five-year period, 2003−2007, were reviewed. Pertinent clinical and pathologic data were obtained and analysed.
