Introduction: Schwannomas originate from the peripheral nerve sheaths and are mainly detected in the head, neck, or extremities. They are rarely encountered in the penoscrotal region.

Case Presentation: Herein, we present a case of a penoscrotal schwannoma diagnosed and successfully treated in our center.

A perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) is an uncommon mesenchymal tumor composed of perivascular epithelioid cells. These tumor cells show variable immunoreactivity for both melanocytic and myogenic markers. Occurrence of PEComa has been reported at various anatomical sites, including the gynecological tract, uterus being the most common.

Purpose: Sex chromosome abnormalities are associated with male infertility. The aim of this study was to characterize the clinical, cytogenetic, and molecular findings of 12 infertile men with isodicentric Y-chromosome [idic(Y)] abnormalities diagnosed over a period of 13 years.

Materials And Methods: Chromosomal analyses of peripheral blood samples were done using standard procedures.

46,XX testicular disorder of sex development (46,XX TDSD) is a relatively rare condition characterised by the presence of testicular tissue with 46,XX karyotype. The present study aims to reveal the phenotype to genotype correlation in a series of sex-determining region Y (SRY)-positive 46,XX TDSD cases. We present the clinical findings, hormone profiles and genetic test results of six patients with SRY-positive 46,XX TDSD and give the details and follow-up findings of our three of previously published patients.

Objective: Genetic burden, fetal malformations, and fetal outcomes of 93 fetuses with cystic hygroma (CH) are reported from a single center in Turkey.

Patients And Methods: Pregnancies, having a diagnosis of fetal CH, detected between January 2010 and October 2016, were included in the study except fetuses having increased nuchal translucency. Fetal age/gender, maternal age, the age of pregnancy, types of fetal malformations, karyotype, and outcomes were evaluated.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the effects of CLLU1 expression and FISH analysis on chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in Turkish patients, analyzing 156 individuals.
  • FISH analysis revealed that 62% of patients had chromosomal abnormalities, with del11q22 and del17p linked to poor survival outcomes and higher mortality.
  • While the association of CLLU1 expression with survival is unclear, the findings emphasize the importance of cytogenetics in evaluating CLL and highlight the need for further research on CLLU1 before it can be routinely used in genetic testing.
