    The Role of Preoperative Routine Computed Tomography Scanning in The Estimation of High-Risk Factors in Endometrial Cancers
    (2018) Coban, G.; Erbay, G.; Kose, F.; Alemdaroglu, S.; Onal, C.; Celik, H.; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3285-5519; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1706-8680; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0156-5973; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4335-6659; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2742-9021; AAI-9974-2021; AAK-5370-2021; G-4827-2016; AAI-8400-2021; HOC-5611-2023; AAL-1923-2021
    Objective: To examine the role of preoperative computed tomography (CT) in estimation of the high-risk factors in endometrial cancer cases. Materials and Methods: The data from 161 cases who were diagnosed with endometrioid adenocarcinoma with endometrial biopsy, and staged surgically were retrospectively analyzed. The diagnostic performance of a whole abdominal CT scan in terms of tumor diameter, myometrial invasion, cervical, adnexal, omental involvement, as well as pelvic para-aortic nodal involvement was examined. In addition, extra-uterine and extra-nodal incidental signs were identified. Results: The accuracy rate of preoperative CT scanning was found to be 42%, 78%, 80%, 95%, 97%, 88%, 89%, and 88% for tumor diameter, myometrial invasion, cervical, adnexal, and omental involvement, as well as pelvic para-aortic nodal involvement, respectively. Extra-uterine and extra-nodal incidental signs were identified in 18% of the cases. Incidental findings entailed a modification of management only in one case (0.62%). Conclusion: Preoperative CT scan findings do not present an alternative to intraoperative frozen section analysis or surgical staging. However, based on the findings from the preoperative CT scan, accuracy of predictions about which patients require more complex procedures (lymphadenectomy) can be improved, and therefore preoperative CT scanning may prove useful in more effective use of operating rooms.

    Cervical destructive spondyloarthropathy due to the dialysis-related amyloidosis: imaging findings
    (2019) Turnaoglu, Hale; Haberal, Kemal Murat; Unal, Oguzcan; Ozen, Ozlem Isiksacan; Agildere, Ahmet Muhtesem
    Dialysis-related amyloidosis that occurs secondary to the deposition of amyloid fibrils containing beta-2-microglobulin, is a type of amyloidosis affecting patients undergoing long-term hemodialysis. It involves the osteoarticular system predominantly. Destructive spondyloarthropathy, is a type of dialysis-related spondyloarthropathy, which frequently involves the cervical spine, have been reported only sporadically. We describe a case of a destructive spondyloarthropathy, in a 43-year-old long-term hemodialysis patient, presenting with myelopathy with particular interest to cervical computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings.

    A Rare Cause of Acute Abdominal Pain: Primary Appendagitis
    (2015) Ergun, Tarkan; Lakadamyali, Hatice
    Primary appendagitis epiploica - one of the causes of acute abdominal pain - is a self-limited rare benign inflammatory condition involving the colonic epiploic appendages. Their therapy is conservative and clinically mimics other conditions requiring surgery such as acute appendicitis or omental torsion. However, being a quite rare condition is the reason they are usually neglected by both the surgeon and the radiologist. However the computed tomography (CT) findings are rather characteristic and pathognomonic. Thus, to consider CT as the diagnostic modality of choice is extremely important in order to diagnose the condition and to avoid unnecessary surgical interventions. This is a paper reporting an acute abdominal pain case of primary appendicitis epiploica diagnosed using computed tomography.
