"Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research is at present a well-known Indian originated scientific journal which started with a humble beginning. I have been associated with this journal since many years. I appreciate the Editor, Dr. Hemant Jain, for his constant effort in bringing up this journal to the present status right from the scratch. The journal is multidisciplinary. It encourages in publishing the scientific articles from postgraduates and also the beginners who start their career. At the same time the journal also caters for the high quality articles from specialty and super-specialty researchers. Hence it provides a platform for the scientist and researchers to publish. The other aspect of it is, the readers get the information regarding the most recent developments in science which can be used for teaching, research, treating patients and to some extent take preventive measures against certain diseases. The journal is contributing immensely to the society at national and international level."

" Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research (JCDR) is a multi-specialty medical and dental journal publishing high quality research articles in almost all branches of medicine. The quality of printing of figures and tables is excellent and comparable to any International journal. An added advantage is nominal publication charges and monthly issue of the journal and more chances of an article being accepted for publication. Moreover being a multi-specialty journal an article concerning a particular specialty has a wider reach of readers of other related specialties also. As an author and reviewer for several years I find this Journal most suitable and highly recommend this Journal."

Dr. Mamta Gupta,
"It gives me great pleasure to be associated with JCDR, since last 2-3 years. Since then I have authored, co-authored and reviewed about 25 articles in JCDR. I thank JCDR for giving me an opportunity to improve my own skills as an author and a reviewer.
It 's a multispecialty journal, publishing high quality articles. It gives a platform to the authors to publish their research work which can be available for everyone across the globe to read. The best thing about JCDR is that the full articles of all medical specialties are available as pdf/html for reading free of cost or without institutional subscription, which is not there for other journals. For those who have problem in writing manuscript or do statistical work, JCDR comes for their rescue.
The journal has a monthly publication and the articles are published quite fast. In time compared to other journals. The on-line first publication is also a great advantage and facility to review one's own articles before going to print. The response to any query and permission if required, is quite fast; this is quite commendable. I have a very good experience about seeking quick permission for quoting a photograph (Fig.) from a JCDR article for my chapter authored in an E book. I never thought it would be so easy. No hassles.
Reviewing articles is no less a pain staking process and requires in depth perception, knowledge about the topic for review. It requires time and concentration, yet I enjoy doing it. The JCDR website especially for the reviewers is quite user friendly. My suggestions for improving the journal is, more strict review process, so that only high quality articles are published. I find a a good number of articles in Obst. Gynae, hence, a new journal for this specialty titled JCDR-OG can be started. May be a bimonthly or quarterly publication to begin with. Only selected articles should find a place in it.
An yearly reward for the best article authored can also incentivize the authors. Though the process of finding the best article will be not be very easy. I do not know how reviewing process can be improved. If an article is being reviewed by two reviewers, then opinion of one can be communicated to the other or the final opinion of the editor can be communicated to the reviewer if requested for. This will help one’s reviewing skills.
My best wishes to Dr. Hemant Jain and all the editorial staff of JCDR for their untiring efforts to bring out this journal. I strongly recommend medical fraternity to publish their valuable research work in this esteemed journal, JCDR".

"I wish to thank Dr. Hemant Jain, Editor-in-Chief Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research (JCDR), for asking me to write up few words.
Writing is the representation of language in a textual medium i e; into the words and sentences on paper. Quality medical manuscript writing in particular, demands not only a high-quality research, but also requires accurate and concise communication of findings and conclusions, with adherence to particular journal guidelines. In medical field whether working in teaching, private, or in corporate institution, everyone wants to excel in his / her own field and get recognised by making manuscripts publication.


Authors are the souls of any journal, and deserve much respect. To publish a journal manuscripts are needed from authors. Authors have a great responsibility for producing facts of their work in terms of number and results truthfully and an individual honesty is expected from authors in this regards. Both ways its true "No authors-No manuscripts-No journals" and "No journals–No manuscripts–No authors". Reviewing a manuscript is also a very responsible and important task of any peer-reviewed journal and to be taken seriously. It needs knowledge on the subject, sincerity, honesty and determination. Although the process of reviewing a manuscript is a time consuming task butit is expected to give one's best remarks within the time frame of the journal.
Salient features of the JCDR: It is a biomedical, multidisciplinary (including all medical and dental specialities), e-journal, with wide scope and extensive author support. At the same time, a free text of manuscript is available in HTML and PDF format. There is fast growing authorship and readership with JCDR as this can be judged by the number of articles published in it i e; in Feb 2007 of its first issue, it contained 5 articles only, and now in its recent volume published in April 2011, it contained 67 manuscripts. This e-journal is fulfilling the commitments and objectives sincerely, (as stated by Editor-in-chief in his preface to first edition) i e; to encourage physicians through the internet, especially from the developing countries who witness a spectrum of disease and acquire a wealth of knowledge to publish their experiences to benefit the medical community in patients care. I also feel that many of us have work of substance, newer ideas, adequate clinical materials but poor in medical writing and hesitation to submit the work and need help. JCDR provides authors help in this regards.
Timely publication of journal: Publication of manuscripts and bringing out the issue in time is one of the positive aspects of JCDR and is possible with strong support team in terms of peer reviewers, proof reading, language check, computer operators, etc. This is one of the great reasons for authors to submit their work with JCDR. Another best part of JCDR is "Online first Publications" facilities available for the authors. This facility not only provides the prompt publications of the manuscripts but at the same time also early availability of the manuscripts for the readers.
Indexation and online availability: Indexation transforms the journal in some sense from its local ownership to the worldwide professional community and to the public.JCDR is indexed with Embase & EMbiology, Google Scholar, Index Copernicus, Chemical Abstracts Service, Journal seek Database, Indian Science Abstracts, to name few of them. Manuscriptspublished in JCDR are available on major search engines ie; google, yahoo, msn.
In the era of fast growing newer technologies, and in computer and internet friendly environment the manuscripts preparation, submission, review, revision, etc and all can be done and checked with a click from all corer of the world, at any time. Of course there is always a scope for improvement in every field and none is perfect. To progress, one needs to identify the areas of one's weakness and to strengthen them.
It is well said that "happy beginning is half done" and it fits perfectly with JCDR. It has grown considerably and I feel it has already grown up from its infancy to adolescence, achieving the status of standard online e-journal form Indian continent since its inception in Feb 2007. This had been made possible due to the efforts and the hard work put in it. The way the JCDR is improving with every new volume, with good quality original manuscripts, makes it a quality journal for readers. I must thank and congratulate Dr Hemant Jain, Editor-in-Chief JCDR and his team for their sincere efforts, dedication, and determination for making JCDR a fast growing journal.
Every one of us: authors, reviewers, editors, and publisher are responsible for enhancing the stature of the journal. I wish for a great success for JCDR."

Dr. Shankar P.R.

"On looking back through my Gmail archives after being requested by the journal to write a short editorial about my experiences of publishing with the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research (JCDR), I came across an e-mail from Dr. Hemant Jain, Editor, in March 2007, which introduced the new electronic journal. The main features of the journal which were outlined in the e-mail were extensive author support, cash rewards, the peer review process, and other salient features of the journal.
Over a span of over four years, we (I and my colleagues) have published around 25 articles in the journal. In this editorial, I plan to briefly discuss my experiences of publishing with JCDR and the strengths of the journal and to finally address the areas for improvement.
My experiences of publishing with JCDR: Overall, my experiences of publishing withJCDR have been positive. The best point about the journal is that it responds to queries from the author. This may seem to be simple and not too much to ask for, but unfortunately, many journals in the subcontinent and from many developing countries do not respond or they respond with a long delay to the queries from the authors 1. The reasons could be many, including lack of optimal secretarial and other support. Another problem with many journals is the slowness of the review process. Editorial processing and peer review can take anywhere between a year to two years with some journals. Also, some journals do not keep the contributors informed about the progress of the review process. Due to the long review process, the articles can lose their relevance and topicality. A major benefit with JCDR is the timeliness and promptness of its response. In Dr Jain's e-mail which was sent to me in 2007, before the introduction of the Pre-publishing system, he had stated that he had received my submission and that he would get back to me within seven days and he did!
Most of the manuscripts are published within 3 to 4 months of their submission if they are found to be suitable after the review process. JCDR is published bimonthly and the accepted articles were usually published in the next issue. Recently, due to the increased volume of the submissions, the review process has become slower and it ?? Section can take from 4 to 6 months for the articles to be reviewed. The journal has an extensive author support system and it has recently introduced a paid expedited review process. The journal also mentions the average time for processing the manuscript under different submission systems - regular submission and expedited review.
Strengths of the journal: The journal has an online first facility in which the accepted manuscripts may be published on the website before being included in a regular issue of the journal. This cuts down the time between their acceptance and the publication. The journal is indexed in many databases, though not in PubMed. The editorial board should now take steps to index the journal in PubMed. The journal has a system of notifying readers through e-mail when a new issue is released. Also, the articles are available in both the HTML and the PDF formats. I especially like the new and colorful page format of the journal. Also, the access statistics of the articles are available. The prepublication and the manuscript tracking system are also helpful for the authors.
Areas for improvement: In certain cases, I felt that the peer review process of the manuscripts was not up to international standards and that it should be strengthened. Also, the number of manuscripts in an issue is high and it may be difficult for readers to go through all of them. The journal can consider tightening of the peer review process and increasing the quality standards for the acceptance of the manuscripts. I faced occasional problems with the online manuscript submission (Pre-publishing) system, which have to be addressed.
Overall, the publishing process with JCDR has been smooth, quick and relatively hassle free and I can recommend other authors to consider the journal as an outlet for their work."

Abstract

Female Adnexal Tumour of Wolffian Origin (FATWO) is a rare tumour occurring in adnexal region, arising from the remnants of the mesonephric duct, in places like the broad ligament, fallopian tube, ovarian hilum, peritoneum. Here the authors have reported a case of FATWO in a 47-year-old woman occurring in the wall of fallopian tube and confirmed with immunohistochemistry. Most of these tumours behave in a benign fashion but certain histological features like hypercellularity, cellular pleomorphism and nuclear atypia cause significant confusion in histopathological diagnosis. Multiple differential diagnoses were considered. After careful histopathological examination and thorough investigation with multiple immunohistochemical stains, the diagnosis was ultimately established.

Case Report

A 47-year-old, primigravida, presented with abdominal pain with a lump in right lower abdomen for last six months. There was no significant past medical history. Subsequent pelvic examination and ultrasound reports revealed a 7×5×4 cm solid mass located in the right fallopian tube (picture plate could not be presented, as it was misplaced by the subject and also could not be recovered from the outside laboratory despite best of efforts).

During open hysterectomy a large adnexal mass was noted which was completely separated from her right tube and ovary. There was no vascular pedicle. This was excised along with uterus and cervix. Thereafter, it was sent for pathological examination. Patients’s postoperative period was uneventful.

Gross Examination: On gross examination, the size of the mass was 7×5×4 cm, which revealed a well encapsulated smooth solid mass and the cut section of the mass appeared greyish yellow and homogeneous in appearance (Table/Fig 1)a,b.

Microscopic examination: On microscopic examination with periodic acid schiff (PAS) stain, revealed an admixture of solid, diffuse area with a packed tubular pattern [Table/ Fig-2]a. The nuclei of the tumour were uniform and ovoid (Table/Fig 2)b. No significant nuclear pleomorphism and mitoses were noted. In the diffuse area, small tubular structures were revealed by Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) stain. In histopathological examination differential diagnosis were Adenomatoid tumour, serous and endometroid tumour.

Immunohistochemical staining was performed on formalin fixed paraffin embedded tumour tissue by using standard avidin biotin complex peroxidase technique. The tumour showed diffuse nuclear positivity for Wolffian tumor (WT) (Table/Fig 3)a and focal positivity in CD99 (Table/Fig 3)b. Epithelial Membrane Antigen (EMA), Cytokeratin (CK) 20 and Calretinin were negative. The cells are negative for Paired Box Gene 8 (PAX8) immunomarker, thus differentiating from the commoner serous and endometrial tumours (Table/Fig 3)c.

Discussion

Female adnexal tumour of wolffian origin was first described in 1973 by Kariminejad and Scully as a single tumour (1). It is a rare tumour occurring in adnexal region, arising from the remnants of the mesonephric duct (2). The Wolffian duct regresses in the female during embryogenesis. It’s remnant can be traced to the ovarian hilum, the broad ligament and the lateral aspect of the uterus and vagina as the Gartner’s duct, paroophoron and epoophoron. FATWO is presumed to be arising from these relics of the Wolffian duct. The clinical behaviour of FATWO is generally benign but malignant cases do exist (3),(4).

The age of the patients diagnosed with FATWO have a wide age range from 15 to 83 years and most often present with a complaint of lower abdominal pain and abnormal genital bleeding (5), (6). Most of the tumours are unilateral. Size of the tumour differs in cases ranging from 0.8 to 25 cm in diameter.

Devouassoux-Shisheboran M et al., described four histological patterns: 1) diffuse solid nest of spindle cells; 2) epithelioid tubular pattern packed, winding, branching and anastomosing tubules; 3) cribriform-sieve like pattern of epithelioid cells; 4) multicystic (7). The present case corresponds mostly with epithelioid tubular pattern. The main differential diagnoses in histology included broad ligament Granulosa Cell Tumour (GCT), endometrioid carcinoma of the fallopian tube and Sertoli-Leydig cell tumour (8),(9).

Endometrioid carcinomas arise from the fallopian tube, whereas FATWO is extratubal and usually arise within the broad ligament. Endometrioid carcinoma frequently presents focal squamous cell differentiation as squamoid morules, which is not present in FATWO. Nuclear atypia is more common in endometrioid carcinoma and has an infiltrating pattern. The above features correspond well with the present case.

In general, FATWO resembles Sertoli-Leydig cell tumours in morphology. However, Leydig cells are absent in FATWO and tends not to have the endocrine symptoms that are features of Sertoli-Leydig cell tumours. Moreover, Sertoli-Leydig cell tumours have not been demonstrated in the paratubal site or in the broad ligament.

It is not always possible to differentiate GCT from FATWO. Both the morphology and immunophenotype of GCT are similar to those observed in FATWO. Nuclear grooving is not an exclusive feature of GCT and can be seen in a variety of other neoplasms and have not been described in FATWO. In the context, of the differential diagnosis between broad ligament GCT and FATWO, the presence of this feature may help to establish the diagnosis of broad ligament GCT. The present tumour lacked the nuclear grooves.

The role of immunohistochemistry in clinching the diagnosis of FATWO has also been studied. FATWO are diffusely immunoreactive for CAM5.2, CK8, CK18, CD10, CK7 and vimentin, while it was negative for Epithelial Membrane Antigen (EMA), S100, Actin, CD 15, Human Bone Marrow Endothelium Marker-1 (HBME-1) and CK20. The present case showed diffuse nuclear positivity for WT1 and focal positivity of CD99 (10),(11). PAX-8 and Calretinin were negative in this case (12),(13). There is currently no entity specific immunomarker for FATWO (14).

Conclusion

Although most FATWO behave in a benign fashion, there have been reports of malignant tumours. It is difficult to characterise malignant tumours due to the extremely low number of reported cases. In benign FATWO, the most common treatment modality is total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy unless the patient is young and requiring preservation of fertility. After initial treatment the patient should be appropriately followed-up over a long period. Further research on this tumour is recommended and the long-term prognosis of this entity needs to be determined. Awareness regarding this entity needs to be established.
