Background: Hyaluronic acid fillers have been increasingly used throughout the world in the management of aging skin in the periocular region and other areas.

Objective: To evaluate very late-term orbital mass formation secondary to Hyaluronic acid filler injection into the inferior eyelid.

Methods: We report two cases that presented with a subcutaneous palpable mass localized at the right medial lower infraorbital area.

Background: Primary cutaneous aggressive epidermotropic CD8+ cytotoxic T-cell lymphoma (AECTCL) is a rare and aggressive lymphoma characterised by ulcerated lesions and a poor prognosis.

Objectives: To present a case series of four previously misdiagnosed AECTCL patients and discuss the importance of early diagnosis.

Materials And Methods: All patients in this study were identified from the database of the Dermatology Department of the Medical School of Bezmialem Vakif University, based on clinical and histopathological diagnosis of AECTCL between 2010 and 2018.

Objective: To assess the correlation between PHH-3 and STAT-3 in grade I and grade II meningiomas.

Patients And Methods: Medical records were retrospectively reviewed for all cranial cases which diagnosed and underwent surgery at Bezmialem Vakif University Hospital between 2012 and 2017. All cranial grade I and grade II meningioma patients constituted the core sample for this study.

Abnormalities in proto-oncogene B-Raf (BRAF) are typical in several subgroups of gliomas, including pilocytic astrocytomas, optic nerve gliomas, pleomorphic xanthoastrocytomas (PXA), anaplastic PXAs and gangliogliomas. However, they are rarely reported in adult gliomas. BRAF alterations are frequent in a distinct variant of glioblastomas (GBMs) known as epithelioid GBMs (E-GBMs).

Objective: Chordoma is a rare malignant bone tumor with a poor outcome. Although radiotherapy and gamma knife surgery have been used for treatment, providing a cure for the tumor is not easy, because of the frequent recurrences. Molecular targeted therapy against tyrosine kinases has been effective in the treatment of malignancies such as breast and lung cancers and brain tumors.

Aims: We aimed to investigate the immunocytoexpression profiles of a novel assay ProEx C for topoisomerase II alpha (TOP2A) and minichromosome maintenance protein 2 (MCM2) in abnormal interpreted smears.

Settings And Design: Screening programs with Papanicolaou smear and high risk group human papilloma virus testing have yielded a dramatic reduction of cervical cancer incidence. However, both of these tests have limited specificity for the detection of clinically significant cervical high grade lesions.

First described in 1963, eccrine syringofibroadenoma (ESFA) is a rare benign tumor that proliferates with differentiation toward ductal eccrine structures. There are many clinical presentations, including plaques, papules, verrucous plaques, keratotic tumors, and solitary tumors. The age of onset varies, with presentation between 16 and 80 years; however, solitary lesions are seen most commonly in the seventh and eighth decades.

Epidermoid cyst located in cranium is uncommon and usually diagnosed with a growing mass leading to symptoms. Asymptomatic intradiploic epidermoid cyst has not been reported yet. In this study, incidental diagnosis of asymptomatic cyst and potential impact of that cyst on surgical planning of a patient with craniosynostosis are presented.

Breast hamartomas are rare, benign, tumor-like nodules composed of glandular, adipose and fibrous tissue. The hamartoma was first described in 1971 as a lipofibroadenoma, fibroadenolipoma or adenolipoma, based on the predominant component of the breast tissue. Clinical findings resemble fibroadenoma and if there is a palpable mass, the patients may receive an immediate diagnosis.
