A palatal swelling transpires out as a nasal B-cell NHL- a case report Sunil Pazhayanur Venkateswaran1, Rafiq Abdul Karim Vasiwala2 Department of Pathology1 and ENT2, International Medical University, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Introduction: Primary sinonasal Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma’s (NHLs) is a rare condition, which emulates the presentation of a benign inflammatory disease. It is challenging to distinguish morphologically as well as radiologically sinonasal lymphomas from other malignant neoplasms. Case Report: We report a 37-year-old male patient who was presented with nasal obstruction, rhinorrhoea, bloody discharge/epistaxis, post nasal drip, facial swelling, orbital symptoms and fever. Endoscopic examination and CT scan of the paranasal sinuses with adequate amount of biopsy tissue is required for a definitive diagnosis. Considering this, endoscopic sinus surgery was performed to eradicate the disease as well as obtain a definite histological diagnosis. The mass was histologically proven as a Nasal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL) and confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Immunohistochemically, the cells were strongly positive for CD20, CD79a, BCL2, BCL6 and MUM1.CD10 was focally positive. Ki-67 index was <99%. After confirmation of the histological diagnosis, chemotherapy was started and with the first cycle, the patient improved with resolution of the facial swelling as well as pain and visual defects. Conclusion: The diagnosis of a sinonasal lymphoma is a challenge for otorhinologists. -

Selective Screening for Gestational Diabetes in Malaysia
Ganeshan Muniswaran1, H Suharjono1, SA Soelar2, SD Karalasingam2, R Jeganathan3 Sarawak General Hospital, 1-Sarawak General Hospital, Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia Jalan Hospital, 93586, Kuching, Sarawak 2- Clinical Research Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Hp. No: 0125871220 3- Hospital Sultanah Aminah, Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia Email: [email protected] INTRODUCTION Gestational Diabetes is common in Malaysia and has significant maternal and fetal implications. Active intervention has shown to improve pregnancy outcomes. Pregnancy is an opportunistic time for screening as the future implications of Diabetes can be significant. An ideal screening tool should not be based on complications of the disease or following an adverse event. Despite recommendations for universal screening in a high risk population, Malaysia has opted for selective screening, due to concerns with cost and resources. The objective is to review the effectiveness of the current practice of selective screening for GDM in Malaysia. METHODOLOGY This is a retrospective cohort study. The study period was from 1st January 2011 till 31st December 2012 and 22, 044 patients with GDM were analyzed. Specific variables were extracted from the National Obstetric Registry of Malaysia from all the participating hospitals, with a total 260,959 patients. RESULTS The incidence of GDM is 8.4%. Majority of these patients were identified following GDM complications such as fetal macrosomia, polyhydramnios or increased weight gain. GESTATIONAL DIABETES CRUDE OR VARIABLE YES NO (SIMPLE -
