Splenic abscess is extremely rare after amoebic dysentery. A case report and review of the literature.

Splenic abscess is a rare condition, which is often asymptomatic in the absence of comorbidity and is associated with high mortality rates. Given the importance of the differential diagnosis of patients who present to the emergency department with fever or septic shock, we report the case of a patient with amoebic splenic abscess who presented to our clinic with widespread skin rash and signs of septic shock following amoebic dysentery caused by Entamoeba histolytica, which is rarely reported in the literature. KEY WORDS: Amoebic Spleen Abscess, Amoebic Abscess, Entamoeba Histolytica, Splenic Abscess.

Evaluation of risk factors for complications after colostomy closure.

Patients with double-barrel ileo-colostomy, Devine's colostomy and tube cecostomy were excluded from study.

Necrotizing fasciitis after intramuscular self-injection A case report.

Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rare, life-threatening soft tissue infection that affects the skin, subcutaneous tissue, fascia, and muscle, and is characterized by rapid spread and invasion of pathogens. Treatment is possible with early diagnosis, appropriate antibiotic therapy, and quick surgical intervention. Nevertheless, despite all interventions, it is sometimes difficult to manage NF.

A case of hepatocellular carcinoma mimicking hepatic adenoma.

Hepatocellular adenomas (HA) are benign naturally occurring masses that are rarely reported, and rarely reaching tumor size up to 30 cm. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignancy of the liver and usually caused by cirrhosis and more commonly reported tumors in males. It has been reported that presentations may occur with masses that are often less than 5 cm or rarely more than 10 cm.

Histopathological Analysis of 173 Consecutive Patients with Colorectal Carcinoma: A Pathologist's View.

BACKGROUND Worldwide, colorectal carcinomas are the third most common carcinomas in men and the second most common carcinomas in women. Pathological examination of rectum specimens requires special attention for correctly evaluating many prognostically important factors. In this study, we present pathological results of 173 lower anterior resection (LAR) and abdominoperineal resection (APR) specimens retrospectively evaluated.

Intraoperative Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography in patients with complex benign biliary tract pathologies A case series.

Introduction: This study presents data about the intraoperative performance of Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for different types of cases with acute, complex pathologies of the biliary tract.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively enrolled cases with intraoperative ERCP performed for different acute complex bile duct pathologies (including injury and cystic stump leak). All patients were analyzed according to demographic findings, etiologies, management and results.

A remnant suture can mimic malignancy after total thyroidectomy.

Unlabelled: Foreign body reactions may develop against exogenous or certain endogenous materials. Cases of suture granuloma that develop against nonabsorbable suture material are rare complications of thyroid surgery. Because of these postoperative complications, a history of cancer prior to the operation suggests recurrence of cancer.

Diagnosing between papillary carcinoma and reactive papillary changes in an infarcted thyroid nodule after fine needle aspiration and accompanied by a synchronous brain stem astrocytoma.

A 22-year-old patient underwent fine needle aspiration of a nodule at the outer center of the right lobe of the thyroid, and it was reported to be Bethesda system category IV, Hurthle cell follicular neoplasia. The patient, who persented to Onsekiz Mart University Research and Application Hospital, underwent surgery. During right total thyroidectomy, an almost totally infarcted nodule and papillary structures around these infarcted areas were detected.

The effect of pycnogenol on lymphatic nodes and adhesion during in a peritoneal adhesion model in rats.

Purpose: To investigate the effects of pycnogenol on peritoneal adhesions and additionally to investigate the immunohistochemical effects of free oxygen radicals and reactive lymph nodes detected in the adhesive tissue that was sampled surrounding the cecum on intra-abdominal adhesions.

Methods: Twenty-seven Wistar Albino rats were divided into three groups. In group 1 (sham), laparotomy was performed and stitched up.

Analysis of the Istanbul Forensic Medicine Institute expert decisions on recurrent laryngeal nerve injuries due to thyroidectomy between 2008-2012.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the approach of Forensic Medicine Institution for recurrent laryngeal nerve injuries. In addition, parameters that were taken into consideration by Forensic Medicine Institution in the differentiation of complication and malpractice were evaluated.

Material And Methods: The files of 38 patients, with recurrent laryngeal nerve injury following thyroidectomy, that were referred to Istanbul Forensic Medicine Institute with request of expert opinion between 2008-2012 were retrospectively investigated.

Evaluation of peripheral lymphadenopathy with excisional biopsy: six-year experience.

Background: Lymphadenopathy (LAP) may be the first symptom of many diseases. We aimed to investigate peripheral LAP results taken by excisional biopsy.

Methods: Histopathological examination of 185 lymph node biopsy specimens were evaluated between January 2009 and April 2015 in Istanbul Private Ekin Pathology Laboratory, retrospectively.

Diagnostic value of fine needle aspiration biopsy in non-thyroidal head and neck lesions: a retrospective study of 866 aspiration materials.

Aim: We aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) and compared our FNAB results of non-thyroidal head and neck lesions with excisional biopsy results.

Materials And Methods: A total of 866 aspiration material taken from different parts of head and neck region out of thyroid were evaluated at Haydarpasa Numune Training and Research Hospital Pathology Laboratory, between January 2002 and May 2013 and 248 of which has histopathologic response were included in the study. Patients depending on origin of the masses were divided into three categories as; salivary gland, lymph nodes and soft tissue/cystic lesions.
