Background: Skin tumour and their various histological typesalways creating a diagnostic difficulty. Histopathology is the gold standard for diagnosis in turn is used by clinicians to aid clinical outcome andalso emphasizing certain key forvaluable observation of certain tumours. Objectives: The study was conducted to find out the occurrence of different tumours of skin in MGMCRI and to classify skin tumours (WHO classification). Methods: The pathological features of 52 cases of Skin Tumours were analysed between May 2009 and May 2014. Section of skin tissue was studied by light microscopy after hematoxylin and eosin staining. Results: A total number of 52 cases of skin tumours were studied. Benign skin tumours constituted 44.23% while malignant skin tumours constituted 55.76% of all skin tumours. Intradermal nevus was the most common benign Skin tumours while Squamous Cell Carcinoma was the most common malignant tumours. Conclusion: Light Microscopic examination remains the standard technique for the diagnosis of the tumours. Although special stain and immunochemistry can be utilised in situation where the diagnosis cannot be confirmed on hematoxylin and eosin.

Cysticercosis is continuing to be a major health problem in developing countries. Radiological and serological techniques are routinely used for pre-operative diagnosis of cysticercosis. But fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is cost effective and simple procedure, so it is important to be aware of diagnostic pitfalls in the cytomorphologic diagnosis of cysticercosis. We present a case of cysticercosis of tongue, which accounts for only 34 cases in the world literature.

BACKGROUND Ovarian tumours manifest with a wide spectrum of clinical morphological and histological features. Increasing mortality rate due to ovarian cancers has been reported in recent years. Ovarian tumours are histologically defined based on the different cells or origin. Ovarian tumours in post-menopausal females have high risk of malignancy and it has a very poor outcome. Aims and Objectives-To study the clinicopathological spectrum of ovarian tumours and to find the spectrum of benign and malignant tumours reported in a tertiary care centre.
