Beastly Tales from Here and There
No full textI count four previous editions or printings of this book in the collection, but all have had Ravi Shankar as their illustrator. Now Prabha Mallya has supplied large colored illustrations in this 7½ x 9¾ book. The pictures tend to present single characters rather than scenes or relationships; thus the book's front cover gives a good sense of them as it arrays them around title and author. An exception to this rule comes on 18, which shows the mosquito poised for an attack on the king. Another fine illustration presents the cat playing his fiddle outside the window of the foxes (71). Another fine piece is the double-page image of the elephant and the tragopan sipping tea together (110-11). As I wrote earlier, the book offers ten well told, witty tales in verse that include two slightly expanded from Aesop but with different contemporary twists. The eagle dies of grief over the beetle's continual destruction of his eggs wrought out of vengeance for the beetle's old friend, the hare. And the female hare ends up losing the race but winning all the press acclaim. The other tales come two each from India, China, the Ukraine, and the Land of Gup. The Mouse and the Snake from China is a good fable with an ironic ending comment. The Cat and the Cock from the Ukraine uses repeated lines very well (63). In #9, the frog manager ruins the nightingale and never knows it. Prabha Mallya is mentioned only in the colophon and on the back cover. The lack of mention of her in the front of the book is surprising.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)This book has a dust jacket (book cover)First printing of this editionVikram Set
Lethal midline granuloma
No full textLethal midline granuloma is a relatively rare disease characterized by destruction and mutilation of the nose and other structures of respiratory passages. The nonspecificity of symptoms obscures the correct diagnosis and is responsible for the delay in treatment which can be detrimental as this grave disease calls for urgent intervention. We present a case report of this disease in a 35 year old male who gave a short two month history of the clinical symptoms
Fine needle aspiration of Histiocytic sarcoma
No full textHistiocytic sarcoma is derived from histiocytes and is among the rarest of the tumors affecting the lymphoid tissue. We report a case of a histiocytic sarcoma arising from the lymph node in a 35-year-old male who came for a fine needle aspiration cytology and a subsequent biopsy was conducted and the tissue subjected to hematoxylin and eosin and immunohistochemistry staining
Metastatic squamous cell carcinoma in autotransplanted thyroid: A diagnostic dilemma
No full textMetastasis to the thyroid is uncommon. Mostly, they are tumors that originate in the lung or head or neck. Metastases from breast or kidney carcinomas and metastatic melanoma have also been reported. Autotransplantation of benign thyroid tissue is a surgical procedure designed to achieve normal thyroid hormonal status following surgery. Metastasis into autotransplanted thyroid tissue has not been reported earlier. We report a case of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) metastatic to autotrasplanted thyroid diagnosed on fine-needle aspiration. Further workup revealed a primary oral cavity SCC
