    Aneurysmal Bone Cyst in a Renal Transplant Patient
    (2022) Sahinturk, Fikret; Sonmez, Erkin; Altinors, Nur; Terzi, Aysen; Haberal, Mehmet; 0000-0002-3462-7632; 0000-0002-0471-3177; 31324137; AAJ-8097-2021; AAI-7972-2021
    Aneurysmal bone cysts constitute 1% to 2% of all primary bone tumors. They are rapidly growing benign bone tumors. Nearly 80% of aneurysmal bone cysts occur in the first 20 years of life, and most are primary tumors. Aneurysmal bone cysts are mostly benign, locally aggressive, and highly vascularized tumors. Generally, the period required for postoperative recovery and new bone formation is long. The relapse rate can be up to 50%. Although computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scans are the preferred diagnostic methods, biopsy is the most necessary prerequisite to confirm diagnosis, as aspects of these cysts can show similarity to many other bone lesions. Correct histopathologic diagnosis is important since malignancies may be seen in transplant recipients.

    Cervical Spinal Ependymoma With Hemorrhage in a Renal Transplant Patient
    (2022) Sahinturk, Fikret; Dere, Umit Akin; Kirnap, Mahir; Sonmez, Erkin; Altinors, Nur; Ozen, Ozlem; Haberal, Mehmet; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0471-3177; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6678-6224; 30251937; AAI-7972-2021; N-1435-2014
    Ependymomas are the most common intramedullary spinal tumors in adults and constitute around 20% of all spinal tumors in adults. There are 3 subgroups of ependymomas according to World Health Organization classification: subependymoma or myxopapillary (grade 1), ependymoma (grade 2), and anaplastic (grade 3). Therapy for patients is aimed at safe and total surgical removal and, in selected cases, postoperative radiotherapy. Bleeding from a spinal ependymoma, with subsequent urgent surgery, is extremely rare. Here, we present a case of a renal transplant patient who had a cervical ependymoma. Although a considerable volume of peritumoral blood was observed during surgery, the patient had no neurologic deficits and no signs of deterioration.
