(Association of Resident Doctors, University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria, 2017) Aramide, K. O.; Ajani, M. A.; Okolo, C. A.
Aim: To determine the pattern and causes of lymph node enlargement of cervical region in Ibadan, Nigeria. Materials and Methods: A 10-year (2003-2012) retrospective study was conducted on all head and neck lymph node biopsies received at the Department of Pathology, University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria. Results: A total of 101 lymph node biopsies of cervical region were received within this period of study. 59.4% cases were seen in Males. Second decade of life has the highest number of cases (22.8%) followed by 3rd decade (17.8%). The common cause of cervical lymphadenopathy include non - specific hyperplasia, tumour metastasis and Non Hodgkin’s lymphoma seen in 27 (26.7%), 22 (21.8%) and 20 (19.8%) respectively. Granulomatous and Hodgkin’s Lymphoma constitute 17 (16.8%) and 11 (10.9%) respectively. The granulomatous causes were all due to tuberculosis. A single case of Rosai-Dorfman disease was seen in a male in the 3rd decade of life. Conclusion: This study shows that metastatic tumours, Hodgkins lymphoma and Non Hodgkins lymphoma constituting 52.4% of all cases of cervical lymphadenopathy are common in this environment therefore highlighting the need for early and proper evaluation of patients.
Childhood ovarian neoplasms in Ibadan, South‑western Nigeria.
(Wolters Kluwer - Medknow, 2016) Ajani, M. A.; Aramide, K. O.; Ajani, T. A.; Salami, A. A.; Okolo, C. A.
Childhood ovarian neoplasms are very rare. Little information is available on the relative pattern and frequency of these tumors in Nigerian children. Earlier study done in Ibadan involved ovarian neoplasms in children and adolescents. The aim of this study is to review cases of ovarian neoplasms in childrenMaterials and Methods: This was a retrospective study. Twenty four cases of childhood ovarian neoplasms were seen in patientsResults: Childhood ovarian neoplasms accounted for 2.8% of all cases of ovarian tumors seen in this period. Fourteen (58.3%) cases of childhood ovarian neoplasms were benign, and 10 (41.7%) were malignant. Mature cystic teratoma occurring in 13 (54.2%) was the most common childhood ovarian neoplasm and was most prevalent between 10 and 14 years of age. Burkitt lymphoma was the most common 4 (40%) malignant childhood ovarian tumor and prevalent between 5 and 14 years of age. Conclusion: Mature cystic teratoma remains the single most common childhood ovarian neoplasms, and Burkitt’s lymphoma is the most malignant childhood ovarian tumor in Ibadan, South western Nigeria.
Histopathological pattern of primary ovarian neoplasms in South Western Nigeria.
(Association of Resident Doctors of Jos University Teaching HospitalAssociation of Resident Doctors of Jos University Teaching Hospital, 2016) Ajani, M. A.; Aramide, K. O.; Salami, A.; Okolo, C. A.
Background: Ovarian tumours are common form s o f neoplasms in women. This study aims to determine the histopathological pattern o f primary ovarian neoplasms in South-western Nigeria. Method: A retrospective study was undertaken to review the histopathology reports o f all primary ovarian neoplasm specimens submitted to the Department o f Pathology, University College Hospital, Ibadan from January 1991 to June 2013. Patients'biodata were extractedfrom the requestforms and surgical day books. Results: There were 821 cases o f primary ovarian neoplasms. 359 (43.7%) cases were surface epithelial neoplasms which were found in patients with age range 10-89 years. Three hundred and thirteen (38%) cases o f germ cell tumour were found in patients with age range 0-70 years. One hundred andforty-six (17.8%) cases ofsex cord stromal tumour werefound in patients with age range 0-99 years. Mature Cystic Teratoma was the most common (54.7%) among benign ovarian neoplasms with 20-29 years being the age range with highest tumours while serous cystadenocarcinoma was the most common (33.2%) primary malignant ovarian neoplasms with 50-59years being the age range with highest tumours. Conclusion: Surface epithelial tumours were the most common ovarian neoplasmfollowed by germ cell tumours. This pattern is observed in most parts of Nigeria, some African and Asian countries, and in the Western world.
Morphological Pattern of Endometrial Biopsies In South Western Nigeria.
(Association of Resident Doctors, University College Hospital, 2016) Abdullahi, Y. M.; Ajani, M. A.; Iyapo, O.; Aramide, K. O.; Okolo, C. A.; Akang, E. E.
Background: Endometrium remains the most sensitive indicator of ovarian function and endometrial biopsy is one of the diagnostic procedures in endometrial pathology. The current study was carried out to examine the morphological pattern of endometrial biopsies in Ibadan, South-western Nigeria and compare the results with similar studies. Method: A retrospective study was undertaken to review all cases of endometrial biopsies received in the Department of Pathology, University College Hospital, Ibadan between January 1999 and December 2008. The patients’ data were retrieved from the surgical pathology daybooks and Histology Request forms. The neoplastic lesions were classified according to 2003 World Health Organization classification for endometrial neoplasms. Results: A total of 2,444 cases of endometrial biopsies were received during the 10-year study period. The functional endometrial changes were the most common histopathological diagnostic category, accounting for 53.8% (1035) of cases. Other pathological diagnoses included endometritis (7.8%), simple endometrial hyperplasia (5.8%), partial hydatidiform mole (2.3%), complete hydatidiform mole (2.1%) and malignant neoplastic lesions (3.9%). Infertility was the most common (57%) indication for endometrial biopsies followed by uterine bleeding (33%) while the least common clinical indication were the menstrual disorders (10%). Conclusion: The functional endometrial changes account for the highest morphological patterns while malignant lesions account for the least pattern of the endometrial biopsies evaluated for etiological basis of infertility, uterine bleeding and menstrual disorders in Ibadan. Infertility was the commonest indication for endometrial biopsies while the least common clinical indication was menstrual disorders.
