The retrospective analysis of patients with uterine sarcomas: A single-center experience.

Background: Uterine sarcomas are rare, malignant, gynecological tumors and show diverse histopathological features. Therefore, there is no consensus on risk factors for poor outcome and optimal treatment. The aim of this retrospective analysis is to report the clinical outcome of patients with uterine sarcoma treated at a single center.

Clinical significance of ASCUS and ASC-H cytological abnormalities: a six-year experience at a single center.

Background: To evaluate colposcopic biopsy results of patients with cervical cytological findings of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) and atypical squamous cells with high-grade lesions that cannot be excluded (ASC-H).

Materials And Methods: A retrospective evaluation of data from 358 patients, who had cervical cytological findings of ASC-US (n = 335) and ASC-H (n = 23), and had colposcopic assessments between 2005 and 2011.

Results: Cervical biopsy results of patients diagnosed with ASC-US cytology (n = 335) revealed cervical squamous cell carcinoma 0.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumor and leiomyoma of the ileum mimicking adnexal mass: a report of two cases.

Adnexal masses are formations seen in women of all ages; they most often include cystic elements. Medical history, physical examination, different imaging methods, and tumor marker determinations must be used together for preoperative evaluation of an adnexal mass. Both benign and malignant tumors of the small intestine are more rarely encountered than malignant tumors of other gastrointestinal system components; although advanced imaging methods and other diagnostic techniques are used, they do not always allow these tumors to be differentiated from adnexal masses.

Large mucinous neoplasm of the appendix mimicking adnexal mass in a postmenopausal woman.

Introduction: Appendiceal tumors are rare, late-diagnosed neoplasms that may not be differentiated from adnexal masses even by advanced imaging methods and other diagnostic procedures. They may be asymptomatic and remain undiagnosed until surgery.

Presentation Of Case: We report a case of 81-year-old postmenopausal woman presented with abdominal pain.

Is grand multiparity a risk factor for osteoporosis in postmenopausal women of lower socioeconomic status?

Objective: We aimed to determine whether grand multiparity is a risk factor for osteoporosis among postmenopausal women of lower socioeconomic status.

Patients And Methods: We conducted a single center study between February 2012 and February 2013 on 50-60 year old postmenopausal women of lower socioeconomic status without a history of medical disease. Women with a body mass index (BMI) between 20 and 25 were included in the study.

A clinico-pathological evaluation of 194 patients with ovarian teratoma: 7-year experience in a single center.

Objectives: To evaluate patients diagnosed with teratoma over a period of seven years with regard to their general characteristics and treatment methods.

Material And Methods: A total of 194 patients histologically diagnosed with ovarian teratoma (mature or immature) in the years 2005-2012 at the Ege University Gynecology and Obstetrics Department were evaluated.

Results: Average patient age was 34.

The role of the serum inflammatory markers for predicting the tubo-ovarian abscess in acute pelvic inflammatory disease: a single-center 5-year experience.

Objective: To compare patients with tubo ovarian abscess (TOA) and non-TOA acute pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and to determinate admitted day laboratory cut-off values for the TOA.

Materials And Methods: Files of inpatients admitted to our clinic with the diagnoses of PID and/or TOA between the years of 2006 and 2011. Laboratory and culture results were obtained from the database of hospital.
