Item A Rare Epididymal Mass: Leiomyoma(2014) Cicek, Tufan; Coskunoglu, Esra Zeynep; Demir, Canan Cicek; Akbaba, Kaan; Uzunkopru, Resit; JBF-7113-2023; AAK-4857-2021Leiomyoma is a benign smooth muscle tumor. It rarely rises from epididymal structures and usually is encountred in adults. The patient, who had undergone total epididymectomy for right scrotal mass at another center, was diagnosed with Epididymal Leiomyoma. He was admitted to our clinic for further evaluation and follow up. The previous eididymectomy specimens obtained and refered to our pathology department for confirmation of diagnosis. Microscopy revealed a benign neoplastic lesion, consisting of spindle cells. Which form interlacing bundels. Mitotic figures and tumor necrosis was not. Observed. The previous diagnosis is confirmed as the tumor showed immunohistochemical smooth muscule actin and Desmin posivity Whereas S-100 was not expressed with in the tumoral cells. This case report also overviews epididymal leiomyoma with recent literature findings.Item Neuroendocrine Tumour of the Gallbladder Diagnosed after Cholecystectomy(2022) Tasci, Halil Ibrahim; Coskunoglu, Esra Zeynep; Turk, Emin; Karagulle, Erdal; 0000-0003-2269-4798; AAJ-2989-2021Gallbladder cancer is a rare but aggressive malignancy. Neuroendocrine tumour of the gallbladder make up 2-3% of all the gallbladder tumour. A 67-year female patient underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy because of symptomatic cholelithiasis and the histopathology revealed a neuroendocrine tumour of the gallbladder, stage pT2a. The patient's imaging study for metastasis workup were normal. A radical cholecystectomy procedure was planned as the tumour stage was pT2a. Postoperative chemotherapy and/ or radiotherapy were recommended. The patient, who had comorbidities, was refused both surgery and other treatment alternatives. The patient's one-year clinical, laboratory, and radiological follow-up did not reveal any findings of recurrence or metastasis. There is no standardised staging system for neuroendocrine tumours of the gallbladder since the number of such cases is quite limited. Guidelines are also insufficient. Multi-centred and large studies are needed in order to develop standardisation in treatment, prognosis, and factors affecting survival.Item Small Cell Carcinoma of the Bladder(2015) Cicek, Tufan; Coskunoglu, Esra Zeynep; Duran, Berkan; Ciftci, EgemenSmall Cell Carcinoma of the bladder accounts for less than 1% of all bladder tumors. Small Cell Carcinoma of the bladder has an aggressive behaviour and is usually metastatic at diagnosis. Due to its infrequent occurence, the literature on this entity is limited; which unsurprisingly leads to an uncertanity in defining an ideal therapeutic approach. This report, overviews the literature while describing a 70- year- old female patient who is diagnosed with small cell carcinoma of the bladder arising in an unusual localization.Item Vascular Leiomyoma Presenting as Anterior Knee Pain (Case Report)(2016) Aydin, Elcin; Coban, Gokcen; Coskunoglu, Esra Zeynep; Tukenmez, Mehmet; 0000-0003-0907-3647; 0000-0003-4824-4138; 30151458; AAI-8276-2021; AAJ-6774-2021Vascular leiomyomas or angioleiomyomas are rare benign solitary smooth muscle tumors that origin usually in the extremities. Most of these tumors are composed of venous vessels. Here in, we report a rare case of subcutaneous vascular leiomyoma of the right knee of a 38 year old woman who was presented with recurrent anterior right knee pain and soft tissue swelling. Clinical findings, magnetic resonance imaging and histopathologic findings of the tumor is discussed. Leiomyomas are not mostly considered in the differential diagnosis by radiologist due to its rarity. Typical imaging and clinical findings of a tumor is an important clue for an accurate and early diagnosis.
