The Diagnostic Value of the Changes in the Renal Glomerulus in the Postmortem Diagnosis of Freshwater Drownings.

Drowning is one of the major causes of unintentional injury death worldwide. As there are no pathomorphological findings specific to the diagnosis of drowning, definitive postmortem diagnosis of drowning continues to be a significant problem in forensic medicine. This study aims to present an additional diagnostic sign in cases of freshwater drowning by investigating the histopathological changes of renal tissue in the postmortem diagnosis of freshwater drowning.

Cytomorphological findings in diagnosis of Warthin tumor.

Background/aim: To define the cytomorphologic findings leading to difficulties in diagnosis of Warthin tumors (WTs).

Materials And Methods: Forty-eight histopathologically diagnosed WT patients who had fine needle aspiration cytology preoperatively were reevaluated for defining the presence or absence of lymphocytes, oncocytic cell layer, oncocytic cell papillae, granular debris background, mucoid background, macrophages, polymorphonuclear cells, mast cells, squamous-like cells, atypical vacuolated cytoplasmic cells, and giant cells.

Results: Forty-seven tumors were in the parotid gland and one in the submandibular gland.

Physical Findings Mimicking Sexual Abuse in a Drowning Patient Who Was Treated in the Intensive Care Unit: A Report on a Fatal Case.

Specific or nonspecific findings of sexual abuse may be observed upon examination of a child. Examination of the genital area is extremely important for the identification of child sexual abuse (CSA). However, medical conditions detected in the child's genital area may be misinterpreted as signs of CSA.

Non-thrombotic Pulmonary Embolism Due to Liver Hydatic Cyst: A Case Report.

Background: A non-thrombotic pulmonary embolism is defined as embolization to the pulmonary circulation. It may be caused by microorganisms, foreign bodies, different cell types or gas in the pulmonary circulation. Pulmonary hydatid cyst-induced embolization is a rare complication of heart or liver hydatid cysts.

BRAF(V600E) Mutation, RET/PTC1 and PAX8-PPAR Gamma Rearrangements in Follicular Epithelium Derived Thyroid Lesions - Institutional Experience and Literature Review.

Background: Thyroid cancers are the most frequently occurring endocrine malignancy worldwide. In Turkey, thyroid cancers are ranked 2(nd) on the incidence list in women, with a rate of 16.2%, but they are not included among the top 10 cancer types in men.

Tularemia: potential role of cytopathology in differential diagnosis of cervical lymphadenitis: multicenter experience in 53 cases and literature review.

Tularemia is a zoonosis caused by Francisella tularensis. Tularemia outbreaks occurred in Central Anatolia during 2009 and 2011. We evaluated the clinical characteristics and cytomorphologies of fine needle aspirations (FNAs) from cervical lymph nodes in serologically confirmed tularemia cases.
