Item Secondary ovarian neoplasms in a tertiary hospital in southwestern Nigeria(Association of Resident Doctors, University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria, 2019) Ajani, M. A.; Iyapo, O.; Salami, A.; Okolo, C. A.Background: The ovary is a common site of involvement for metastases constituting 5-30% of all malignant ovarian neoplasms. Over half of these tumours are bilateral. The commonest sources are stomach, large bowel, appendix, breast, uterus (corpus and cervix) and lung. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the histopathological pattern of metastases to the ovary at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Southwestern Nigeria. Material and Methods: This was a retrospective study. All histologically confirmed cases of metastases to the ovary from the records and files of the Department of Pathology, University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan between January 1991 and June 2013 were used for the study. These were cases diagnosed following total abdominal hysterectomy, total abdominal hystero-salpingooophorectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy, and multiple peritoneal biopsies and post-mortems at the University College Hospital between January 1991 and June 2013. Cases with inadequate clinical data and whose blocks and or slides could not be retrieved were excluded from the study. The data obtained were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 20 Results: There were 46 cases of metastases to the ovary constituting 5.3% of total ovarian neoplasms. Thirty (63.9%) cases were metastatic carcinomas with the affected patients’ age range of 20-79 years, and peak incidence within the age group of 30-39 years. Nineteen out of 30 cases of metastatic carcinomas were from adenocarcinoma of colon, 6 cases were from the gastric carcinoma while the remaining five cases were from the squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix. Fifteen (31.9%) cases of Burkitt Lymphoma were found with patients with age range of 0-39 years, and the peak age of occurrence at the 2nd decade. The only case of metastatic Malignant Mixed Mullerian Tumour and metastatic Leiomyosarcoma were found in the 3rd and 4th decades of life respectively Conclusion: This study has shown that metastases to the ovary occur in younger age groups in our environment. Therefore this study emphasizes that in young females with ovarian masses, the likelihood of metastatic tumours should not be discarded because, correct and precise diagnosis of secondary ovarian malignancy is critical as it has significant implication on the patients’ choice of management and prognosisItem Distribution and characteristics of endometriotic lesions in South- Western Nigeria: A single institutional experience(Zambia Medical Association, 2019) Ajani, M. A.; Salami, A.; Nwanji, I. D.; Olusanya, A. A.; Fatunla, O. E.Background: Endometriosis poses a significant burden mainly to women of child bearing age. Historically, endometriosis was thought to be of low prevalence among African women. However, recent studies have documented an increased prevalence than previously thought. This study aimed to determine the distribution and characteristics of endometriotic lesions among Nigerian women . Methods: A retrospective study of all histologically diagnosed cases of endometriosis from the records of the Department of Pathology, University College Hospital, Ibadan from 1st January, 1997 to 31st October, 2018.The age of the women, location and distribution of the lesions were analysed. Results: A total of 85 cases of endometriosis were diagnosed histologically in the period under review. The mean age was 35 years with an age range of 18 to 52 years. The most commonly affected age groups were those between 30-39 years (47.1%) and 20-29 years (30.6%). The most commonly affected site was the ovary (58.8%) followed by the umbilicus (11.9%) and fallopian tubes (9.4%). Fourteen patients (28%) had bilateral ovarian involvement. Left sided ovarian lesions predominated (61.1% versus 38.9%). Eighteen (21.2%) patients had lesions at more than one site frequently involving both ovaries. Conclusion: Endometriosis affected mainly women of childbearing age with particular predilection for the ovaries. Endometriosis affecting the umbilicus is not uncommon among Nigerian women.Item Gender differential in inclination to donate brain for research among Nigerians: the IBADAN Brain Bank Project(Springer Nature, 2019) Akinyemi, R.; Ojagbemi, A.; Akinyemi, J.; Salami, A.; Olopade, F.; Farombi, T.; Nweke, M.; Uvere, E.; Aridegbe, M.; Balogun, J.; Ogbole, G.; Jegede, A.; Kalaria, R.; Ogunniyi, A.; Owolabi, M.; Arulogun, O.Background: Laboratory-based studies of neurological disease patterns and mechanisms are sparse in sub-Saharan Africa. However, availability of human brain tissue resource depends on willingness towards brain donation. This study evaluated the level of willingness among outpatient clinic attendees in a Nigerian teaching hospital. Methods: Under the auspices of the IBADAN Brain Bank Project, a 43—itemsemi-structured interviewer—administered questionnaire was designed to evaluate knowledge, attitude, and beliefs of individuals attending Neurology, Psychiatry and Geriatrics Outpatient clinics regarding willingness to donate brain for research. Association between participants characteristics and willingness towards brain donation was investigated using logistic regression models. Analysis was conducted using Stata SE version 12.0. Results: A total of 412 participants were interviewed. Their mean age was 46.3 (16.1) years. 229 (55.6%) were females and 92.5% had at least 6 years of formal education. Overall, 109 (26.7%) were willing to donate brains for research. In analyses adjusting for educational status, religion, ethnicity, marital status and family setting, male sex showed independent association with willingness towards brain donation OR (95% CI) 1.7 (1.08–2.69), p = 0.023. Participants suggested public engagement and education through mass media (including social media) and involvement of religious and community leaders as important interventions to improve awareness and willingness towards brain donation. Conclusion: The survey revealed low willingness among outpatient clinic attendees to donate brain for research, although men were more inclined to donate. It is imperative to institute public engagement and educational interventions in order to improve consent for brain donation for research.Item Histopathologic pattern of posterior cranial Fossa tumours in a West African tertiary(Zambia Medical Association, 2019) Salami, A.; Adeleye, A.; Oyemolade, T.; Ajani, M.; Usiholo, A.; Nweke, M.; Adeolu, AIntroduction: The posterior cranial fossa contains many vital structures and mortality of patients with tumours occurring in this area is high. Studies done in other geographic locations showed a higher occurrence of posterior cranial fossa tumours in paediatric patients while benign tumours were more commonly seen. Epidemiological data of tumours in this area in our environment is scarce. This study was done to ascertain the histopathologic pattern of tumours in the posterior cranial fossa in a predominantly black population. Method: A ten-year retrospective study of histologically diagnosed posterior cranial fossa tumours seen in our hospital facility was done. A total of 72 cases in which neurosurgical intervention was carried out were identified and this included all age groups. The age, sex, site of tumour and histological diagnosis were extracted from the patients' records. Result: Adult patients predominated with 55.6% while the paediatric patients were 44.4%. The male to female ratio in the paediatric patients was 2.56:1 but the ratio was equal in the adult patients. WHO grade 1 tumours were the commonest tumours seen (45.8%) while grade II tumours were the least (4.2%). Medulloblastomas (20.83%), Pilocytic astrocytomas (18.6%) and Meningiomas (8.33%) were the commonest tumours seen. Commonest locations are in the cerebellar hemispheres (56.9%) and the fourth ventricle (13.89%). Conclusion: Our study showed a higher occurrence of Medulloblastomas in contrast to other studies which have shown more of Schwannomas, a tumour type that was rare in this study. The relatively low number of metastatic tumours in this study may be due to lack of presentation of such patients.Item Malignant ameloblastoma: a challenging diagnosis(Hospital Universitário, Universidade de São Paulo (USP), São Paulo, Brazil, 2018) Salami, A.; Ezenkwa, U.; Salami, M.; Ajani, M. A.; Okolo, C.Ameloblastoma is an uncommon and locally aggressive, benign, odontogenic tumor, with local recurrence when not adequately excised. A rare variant of this neoplasm with the benign features but accompanied with metastases has been described. This rare variant is malignant ameloblastoma and is known to have a poor prognosis. We present the case of a young woman who had recurrent mandibular tumors, which were resected twice and histologically reported as ameloblastoma. Four years later, she presented with pulmonary metastasis and atelectasis. A review of the literature on this very rare neoplasm was also performed.Item Malignant ameloblastoma: a challenging diagnosis(Hospital Universitário, Universidade de São Paulo (USP), São Paulo, Brazil, 2018) Salami, A.; Ezenkwa, U.; Salami, M.; Ajani, M.
