Department of Pathology Hosts 11th Clinicopathological Correlation Session to Promote Multidisciplinary Diagnostic Collaboration at BGS Medical College and Hospital, Nagaruru
The Department of Pathology successfully hosted the eleventh installment of the Clinicopathological Correlation series on September 22, 2026. Held at the MEU Hall on the first floor, this academic gathering was organized in close collaboration with the Department of Ear, Nose, and Throat and the Department of Radiology. The session served as a critical platform for interdisciplinary dialogue, emphasizing the necessity of integrated diagnostic approaches in modern clinical practice. Through the examination of complex patient cases, the meeting fostered a collaborative environment where specialists could bridge the gap between clinical presentation, radiological imaging, and histopathological findings.
The first case presented for deliberation involved a twenty seven year old male exhibiting an anterior neck swelling. The diagnostic journey was meticulously detailed by a team comprising Dr. Divya KV, Assistant Professor from the Department of ENT, Dr. C Jahnavi, Senior Resident from the Department of Pathology, and Dr. Priyanka Raut, Senior Resident from the Department of Radiology. Following a thorough review of the radiological evidence and pathological examination, the team confirmed a diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma arising within a thyroglossal cyst. This case highlighted the importance of maintaining a high index of clinical suspicion when managing congenital neck anomalies in adult patients.
The second case focused on a twenty six year old female presenting with an unusual growth located on the right lateral border of the tongue. The multidisciplinary presentation was led by Dr. Aniket V R, Senior Resident from the Department of ENT, along with Dr. Prescilla C from the Department of Pathology and Dr. Priyanka Raut from the Department of Radiology. The clinical and microscopic evidence led to the diagnosis of granuloma gravidarum, also known as pyogenic granuloma of pregnancy. The discussion emphasized the hormonal influences on oral soft tissue lesions and the importance of differentiated diagnosis in pregnant patients to ensure optimal maternal and fetal care.
The Clinicopathological Correlation series continues to be a cornerstone of the institution academic excellence, providing residents and faculty members with invaluable insights into the complexities of patient management. By integrating the perspectives of surgeons, radiologists, and pathologists, the event reinforced the institutional commitment to evidence based medicine and collaborative healthcare delivery. The session concluded with an interactive question and answer segment, allowing attendees to further explore the nuances of the cases presented and their implications for future clinical interventions.
