Introduction: Solitary plasmacytomas are tumors characterized by a local increase of malignant plasma cells in soft tissue or bone and may occur anywhere without evidence of systemic disease. The aim was to focus on the main surgical techniques and outcomes for this rare chest wall tumor.
Methods: Patients with solitary plasmacytoma involving a rib, who were operated for diagnostic or treatment purposes between 2018 and 2023 were retrospectively reviewed.
Work-related quality of life has emerged as a central focus in the field of occupational health due to its impact on individual well-being and overall quality of life. So, it is crucial to enhance the current theory by conducting a study on the concept across different sectors. Also, the specific mechanisms through which perceived social support influences work-related quality of life remain underexplored.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively assessed the complications associated with TBB and the adequacy of pathological diagnoses in patients who underwent lung transplantation at Koşuyolu Yüksek İhtisas Training and Research Hospital from December 1, 2016, to April 30, 2023.

Article Synopsis
- Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are complex disorders characterized by lung inflammation and fibrosis, making diagnosis and treatment difficult, especially for patients needing transplants.
- A study analyzed data from 43 non-IPF ILD patients from 2016 to 2022, finding that 20 patients received lung transplants while 23 died waiting, with a high waiting list mortality rate of 53.4%.
- Results showed that although both groups had similar demographics and health statuses, lung transplantation significantly improved patient survival and quality of life for those with advanced ILD, highlighting the need for more research in this area.
