Histopathological examination of heart autopsies is routinely done in medicolegal cases to ascertain the cause of death. Cardiovascular disease is a class of diseases that involves the heart or blood vessels (arteries and veins). They remain the leading cause of deaths worldwide. It is also a major cause of disability. Heart autopsies are a great learning tool for clinicians, pathologists as well as forensic experts. The cardiac autopsies may have changed very little during the last 50 years , the pathologists role on cardiac team has changed dramatically . Present study was done between the period of 2009 - 2011 consisting of 50 cases highlighting the importance of heart autopsies to establish the cause and mode of death as well as a magnificent learning tool. Cardiomegaly was found to be the most common disease entity followed by myocardial infarction in the present study.Keywords

Histopathological examination of medicolegal autopsies is done to establish the cause of death when autopsy surgeon recognizes any morbid anatomical changes in tissue and suspects that it may be reason of death. But many incidental findings have been highlighted on histopathological examinations which have proven to be great learning tools for the pathologists as well as the forensic expert. Present study was done between the period of 2008-2011 consisting of 100 cases expressing the importance of histopathological examination of viscera not only to ascertain the cause of death but also a great learning tools and highlighting various rare diagnosis which can be made only on histopathology. Histopathological examination is important for accumulation of mortality statistics which are essential for public health and health service planning.Keywords

A wide spectrum of Primary as well as secondary diseases can affect liver. With the rare exception of fulminant hepatic failure, liver disease is an insidious process in which clinical detection and symptoms of hepatic decompensation may occur weeks, months or many years after the onset of injury .Liver injury and healing may also occur without even clinical detection. Liver histopathology remains a mainstay in the diagnostic workup of most liver diseases. Liver autopsies are a wonderful learning tool for clinicians as well as pathologists. They help in formulating exact liver disease burden in the population .Present study was conducted between the period of 2008 - 2012 consisting of 154 cases. Fatty change liver (Steatosis) was found to be the most common disease entity followed by hepatitis.Keywords

An autopsy case report of 30 year old female patient having widespread bed sores, dyspnea and high grade fever who died within an hour of admission to the hospital. An autopsy was conducted and viscera consisting of parts of lungs, kidneys, liver, spleen and heart were sent for histopathological examination. Histopathological examination of lungs revealed presence of chronic inflammatory infiltrate along with numerous colonies of round to ovoid fungal spores. Differential diagnosis of Candida and Cryptococcus was kept and using PAS and mucicarmine stains pulmonary candidiasis was confirmed. The present case highlights pulmonary candidiasis comes under category of severe mycoses and is an incidental diagnosis made on autopsy.Keywords
