There is a limited amount of data on the role of programmed cell death ligand (PD-L) -1 and PD-L2 in salivary gland carcinomas. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of PD-L1 and PD-L2 expressions, which are closely related to immune mechanisms, with respect to salivary gland tumor types and stages. Data from patients with salivary gland masses surgically removed between 2006 and 2021, diagnosed with a malignant salivary gland neoplasm, were retrospectively analyzed.

Introduction: Nonmuscle invasive bladder cancers (NMIBC) are common tumors diagnosed in older individuals and men (median age: 69 years). Immunotherapy is a treatment option in cases resistant to Bacillus-Calmette-Guerin (BCG) therapy. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic role of programmed-cell-death ligand (PD-L)-1 (PD-L1), PD-L2, and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) expressions, which are closely related to immune mechanisms, in the response to BCG treatment of NMIBC.

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the clinicopathological features, diagnostic steps, and therapeutic results of TSHomas and to reveal the effective factors on remission.

Methods: The clinical, radiological, and pathological features and surgical and endocrinological results of 41 TSHoma cases followed between 2005 and 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The factors affecting the surgical cure were investigated by comparing the groups with and without remission.

An 88-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a recurrent lower urinary tract infection. He had a history of open prostatectomy for benign prostatic hyperplasia 15 years ago and smoking. A mass arising within a bladder diverticula was suspected on the left lateral wall of the bladder on ultrasonography.

Cystic mesothelioma, also known as benign multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma (BMPM), is a rare neoplasm and one of the five main histological types of peritoneal mesothelioma. Although it is usually considered benign histologically, it is increasingly accepted as a 'borderline malignancy' because the local recurrence rate is high. It is more common in middle-aged women and is generally asymptomatic.

Amyloidosis is a heterogeneous group of diseases with the most common form being systemic distribution. The least common type of the disease is tumor formation due to deposition which is called "amyloid tumor (amyloidoma)". Although such tumors can occur in any region of the body, extremity localization is fairly seldom.
