    Pathology, Classification, Clinical Manifestations and Prognosis of Langerhan's Cell Histiocytosis: A Single Center Experience
    (2022) Hasbay, Bermal; Kocer, Nazim Emrah; Kayaselcuk, Fazilet; Canpolat, Emine Tuba; Buyukkurt, Nurhilal; Erbay, Ayse
    Objective: The aim of the study is to raise awareness about clinical features, histopathological and radiological analyzes and treatment details of this rare disease. Methods: A total of 55 Langerhans cell histiocytosis patients, diagnosed between the year 2006 and October 2020 in our department were included in the study. The patients were evaluated in terms of age, gender, tumor localization, risk groups, treatment modalities, recurrence, and outcome of the disease. Results: Twenty-three out of 55 patients were children and 32 were adults. The ages of the patients were between 7 months and 72 years. Thirty-seven of the cases were male and 18 were female. The most common clinical complaint in both groups was pain and swelling. The duration between the onset of the patient complaints and admission to the hospital varies between 7 days-12 months in children, and 10 days-23 years in adults. Forty-three of the cases had single organ involvement and 12 had multiorgan involvement. The most frequently affected organ in both groups was bone. Forty of the 55 patients had follow-up data and the treatment modalities are as follows: Nine patients radiotherapy, 8 patients chemotherapy+steroid, 7 patients chemotherapy, 2 patients chemotherapy+radiotherapy+steroid, 1 patient steroid, 2 patients chemotherapy+radiotherapy. Eleven patients were followed up without additional treatment after surgery. Median follow-up from the time of biopsy was 45.9 months in children and 41.9 months in adults. Conclusions: As a result, diagnosis requires a high degree of suspicion and final diagnosis is based on the histological examination of the lesions and biopsies.

    A rarely seen diffuse parenchymal lung disease: diffuse pulmonary meningotheliomatosis
    (2015) Sen, Nazan; Canpolat, Emine Tuba; Koc, Zafer; 25849054
    Pulmonary meningothelial- like nodules (MLNs) are usually detected incidentally during pathologic evaluation of resected pulmonary parenchymal specimens and autopsies. These nodules are generally asymptomatic and most often single. Diffuse pulmonary involvement by MLNs is less frequently described. MLNs are benign lesions and have been associated with neoplastic and non-neoplastic pulmonary conditions and occasionally with extrapulmonary diseases. We report a case of a female patient presenting with multiple and bilateral pulmonary nodules diagnosed with "diffuse pulmonary meningotheliomatosis" by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Diffuse pulmonary meningotheliomatosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of diffuse bilateral lung nodules in the radiologic studies.

    Pediatric Mass Lesions of the Head and Neck Region and Fine-Needle Aspiration Biopsy Results
    (2016) Eski, Erkan; Akdogan, Volkan; Turkoglu, Seda Babakurban; Sokmen, Muhammed Furkan; Caylakli, Fatma; Ozer, Cem; Canpolat, Emine Tuba; Yİlmaz, Ismail; 29392012
    Objective: 1. To provide a classification of pediatric mass of the head and neck region and evaluate their frequency. 2. To examine the findings of fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in pediatric patients along with its contribution to diagnosis. Methods: Totally, 233 pediatric patients (125 boys and 108 girls) operated at Baskent University for head and neck mass were included. Clinical, radiological, and histopathological data were retrieved from medical records. Results: The mean age was 119 +/- 65 months, and the mean duration of follow-up was 75 +/- 49 months. Localization of the masses was as follows: 208 (89%) in the neck, 21 (9%) in the oral cavity, 2 (1%) in the neck and nasopharynx, and two (1%) in the larynx. The most common surgical procedure was open excisional biopsy (n=105, 45%) followed by cystic mass excision (n=72, 31%) and salivary gland excision (n=33, 14%). Basedon histopathological findings, benign cystic lesions were the most common disease group (n=77, 33.1%), whereas reactive lymphadenopathy was the most common condition (n=36, 15%) when a single disease was considered. Infectious/inflammatory diseases, malignancies, and benign salivary glands were present in 49 (21%), 24 (10.3%), and 22 (9.4%) patients, respectively. FNAB was performed in 29.8% of the patients with an accuracy of 90.3% (95% CI, 80.1-96.4). Conclusion: The differential diagnosis of head and neck masses during childhood includes a wide spectrum with the different conditions being benign cystic diseases of congenital origin and reactive lymphadenopathies. Owing to its high predictive value, FNAB represents a rapid and reliable method that can be commonly used in both adult and pediatric patients.
