Incidence, Histopathological Features and Differential Diagnosis of Cutaneous Graft Versus Host Disease in Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplantation.

Objectives: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation by allogeneic bone marrow transplantation is a method used in the treatment of various genetic, immunological disorders, hematologic and solid organ malignancies. Graft versus Host Disease is one of the major and fatal complications of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. It is a systemic disease affecting five main areas: skin, gastrointestinal tract, liver, lung and hematopoietic system.

Effects of an Additional Liquid Based Cytology Prepate on Cytological Diagnosis in High-Risk HPV Positive, PaP Test Negative Cases.

Objectives: To investigate the effects of a second cytology preparation on cytological diagnosis in high-risk HPV positive and PaP smear-negative cases.

Methods: This retrospective study was conducted with 57 cases who underwent cytological evaluation and cotest in our center in 2016-2017. All of these cases were high-risk HPV positive, PaP smear-negative and had a second preparation.

Diagnostic cytological features and differential diagnosis of subacute granulomatous (De Quervain's) thyroiditis.

Background: The aims of the study are to identify the diagnostic cytological features of subacute granulomatous thyroiditis (SGT), to compare our results with previous literature studies, and to investigate the cytological changes in SGT that mimic other thyroid lesions.

Methods: This retrospective study was conducted with 69 cases. The cytology slides were re-evaluated.

Should pancreas cyst fluids be divided into two for cytological diagnosis and biochemical tests?

Background/aims: The aim of the present study was to investigate whether pancreas cyst fluids should be divided into two for cytological diagnosis and biochemical tests.

Materials And Methods: The present study was conducted with fluids aspirated from 12 pancreas cysts. The fluids were divided into two and sent to the cytopathology (fluid 1) and biochemistry (fluid 2) laboratories.

Telecytology: Is it possible with smartphone images?

Introduction: This study aimed to discuss smartphone usage in telecytology and determine intraobserver concordance between microscopic cytopathological diagnoses and diagnoses derived via static smartphone images.

Methods: The study was conducted with 172 cytologic material. A pathologist captured static images of the cytology slides from the ocular lens of a microscope using a smartphone.

Rare pancreas tumor mimicking adenocarcinoma: Extramedullary plasmacytoma.

Neoplastic proliferation of plasma cells is called plasma cell dyscrasias, and these neoplasms can present as a solitary neoplasm or multiple myeloma. Extramedullary plasmacytoma, in particular pancreatic plasmacytoma, is a rare manifestation of multiple myeloma. Although computerized tomography is useful for the diagnosis of extramedullary plasmacytoma, there are no specific radiologic markers that distinguish it from adenocarcinoma.

Effects of palatine bone denudation repair with periosteal graft on maxillary growth: an experimental study in rats.

Background: The long-term goal of cleft palate repair is to provide normal maxillary growth and speech capacity. However, most surgical repairs of cleft palate result in areas of bone denudation on lateral aspects of the hard palate. It is widely acknowledged that palatal bone denudation and subsequent scar contracture resulting from cleft palate surgery can inhibit maxillary growth.

Reevaluation of negative cone biopsy results after a positive cervical biopsy finding.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate and reexamine materials of the patients with cervical biopsy revealing cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and their cone biopsies revealing no lesion.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-five patients with cervical biopsy revealing cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cone biopsies revealing no lesion among 202 patients who had undergone cervical conization after colposcopically derived cervical biopsy between 2005 and 2011 were included in this study. Ki67 and P16 were applied to the all biopsy slides.

LSIL/ASC-H (LSIL-H) in cervicovaginal smear: histopathological outcomes and clinical significance.

Objective: Conventional Pap smears exhibiting unequivocal features of 'low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion' (LSIL) are occasionally mixed with some cells suspicious for, but not diagnostic of 'high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion' (HSIL) on daily routine. The 2001 Bethesda System does not address the significance of such cytological entities. We have referred to these changes in our laboratory as'LSIL, atypical squamous cells cannot exclude HSIL' (LSIL/ASC-H).

Metastatic ovarian malignant melanoma with no obvious primary.

The differential diagnosis of metastatic ovarian malignant melanoma from primary ovarian tumors is a significant challenge, particularly if there is no obvious primary site. A 39-year-old patient with bilateral ovarian malignant melanoma presented as stage IV primary ovarian tumor, with metastases in the omentum and spleen. She underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oopherectomy with infracolic omentectomy and splenectomy.

Iniencephaly with mediastinal bronchogenic cyst: A case report.

Objective: Iniencephaly is a rare neural tube defectwith consisting of a defect in the occipital bone,spina bifida of many vertebrae, and retroflexion of the head on the spine. In majorty of cases it is a le-\thal condition.

Methods: We present the first case of iniencephalywith large bronchogenic cyst diagnosed prenatally.

Congenital pulmonary fibrosarcoma in a newborn with hypoglycemia and respiratory distress: case report.

Although primary bronchopulmonary fibrosarcoma is a rare tumor, it may be characterized by the symptoms of acute respiratory distress occurring during the first moments of life in a newborn. It is one of the leading congenital malignant neoplasms of the lung, but is considered a borderline tumor since its biological behavior is much more favorable than that of adult fibrosarcomas. In the absence of metastases, complete resection is curative.

An infantile leiomyosarcoma that metastasized from the small intestine to the adrenal gland.

In the literature, there is no reported pediatric leiomyosarcoma case that has metastasized from the small intestine to the adrenal gland. A 10-year-old boy who had anemia and weight loss over 2 years presented with abdominal pain that began 1 week previously. Radiologic examination revealed bilateral adrenal tumors.
