Olıgosarcoma: A Rare Case Report Wıth Dıstınct Features.

Oligosarcoma is a recently identified entity characterized by sarcomatous changes originating from oligodendroglioma. As of our current understanding, sarcomatous components are infrequent in glial tumors. The World Health Organization (WHO) classification describes sarcomatous features as a rare pattern in grade 3 oligodendrogliomas.

The Journey of Material From Clinic to Pathology Laboratory: How Much Do Clinical Residents Know About This Process?

Pathology plays a major role in the management of patients. Specimen delivery to a pathology laboratory is the first step in the process. Sending materials to the pathology laboratory should be included as part of residency training.

A rare tumor in the sellar region: ganglioglioma, a case report and a general overview.

Background: Gangliogliomas are rare mixed neuronal-glial tumors of the central nervous system, accounting for less than 2% of intracranial tumors.

Case Description: This report presents a rare case of ganglioglioma in the sellar region of a 3-year-old and 5-month-old pediatric patient. The patient underwent surgical intervention initially through a transnasal transsphenoidal approach and subsequently through a transcranial pterional craniotomy approach.

Predicting Isocitrate Dehydrogenase Mutation Status of Grade 2-4 Gliomas with Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) Parameters Derived from Model-Based DTI and Model-Free Q-Sampling Imaging Reconstructions.

Objective: To determine whether diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters acquired with model-based DTI and model-free generalized Q-sampling imaging (GQI) reconstructions may noninvasively predict isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutational status in patients with grade 2-4 gliomas.

Methods: Forty patients with known IDH genotype (28 IDH wild-type; 12 IDH mutant) who underwent preoperative DTI evaluation on a 3-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging scanner were analyzed retrospectively. Absolute values obtained from model-based and model-free reconstructions were compared.

Skin Lesions in Children: Evaluation of Clinicopathological Findings.

Objective: Pediatric skin diseases may show various manifestations, occasionally affecting the patients' quality of life. Histopathological examination may be required for the diagnosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the spectrum of clinicopathological features in pediatric skin lesions.
