Perspectives
As a pathologist I am so proud with my team to find the right diagnosis to this type of tumour and accordingly the right management. it was a challenge to me to reach final diagnosis with application of certain tests called immunohistochemistry markers which help us to correct diagnosis and the right therapy.
