A case of cervical bronchogenic cyst presenting with hoarseness in an adult.

A twenty-eight year old male with a cervical mass, complaining of hoarseness and weight loss, was referred to our clinic. A 3 x 4 cm cystic lesion localizing in the region of the suprajugular notch was seen with the aid of computerized chest tomography. A cervical ultrasound confirmed that it was a cystic lesion.

Effect of n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate on high-risk colonic anastomoses.

We investigated the effect of n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (BCA) on colonic anastomosis under clean contaminated procedure (CCP) and bacterial peritonitis (BP) conditions in rats. Male Wistar albino rats (n = 80) were divided into two groups: CCP and BP. In the CCP group, colonic resection and anastomosis were performed.

Intranodal palisaded myofibroblastoma; a case report and review of the literature.

Intranodal palisaded myofibroblastoma (IPM) also called as intranodal hemorrhagic spindle cell tumor with amianthoid fibers is a distinctive and rare mesenchymal neoplasm of lymph nodes. This entity generally misdiagnosed as intranodal Kaposi's sarcoma or schwannoma in past. In contrast to Kaposi's sarcoma, it behaves in a benign fashion and does not need any further therapy except total surgical resection of the mass.

Osseous presentation of Hodgkin's disease: a case report and review of the literature.

The bone involvement in the later stages of Hodgkin's disease is an expected phenomenon, but it is very rare in early stages of the disease. About 49 cases of Hodgkin's disease presenting with bone involvement have been reported in the literature. We reported a 14-year-old boy initially evaluated with pain localized at the left ilium.

Effect of chronic prostatitis on angiogenic activity and serum prostate specific antigen level in benign prostatic hyperplasia.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of chronic inflammatory pathology on the angiogenic activity in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Besides the presence of a relationship between serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) values and microvessel density (mvd), the intensity and extent (widespread or focal) of tissue PSA expression was also examined. The distribution of 30 cases according to the diagnosis groups was as follows: group 1, nine cases with prostatic adenocarcinoma; group 2, 10 cases with BPH and chronic prostatitis; group 3, 11 cases with BPH.

Adenocarcinoma originating from a mature teratoma of the testis.

Malignant transformation in testicular teratomas has been reported very rarely in the literature. Although testicular teratomas in childhood are regarded as benign neoplasms, these tumors, if left untreated until advanced ages, may present the risk of malignant transformation. We report a case of differentiated adenocarcinoma originating from colonic glands in primary testicular teratoma.

[Combination of microfracture and periosteal transplantation techniques for the treatment of full-thickness cartilage defects].

Objectives: Microfracture and periosteal transplantation techniques were combined in order to enhance the quality of repair for the treatment of full-thickness cartilage defects.

Methods: In 40 mature New Zealand white rabbits, a full-thickness cartilage defect of 4 mm was induced on the weight-bearing surfaces of the medial condyles of the right femur. The rabbits were randomly divided into four groups equal in size.
