    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 Case of Mediastinal Mesenchymal Tumor Resembling Hemopericardium
    (2021) Acibuca, Aynur; Yilmaz, Mustafa; Karadeli, Elif; Canpolat, Emine Tuba; Erol, Tansel; 34404995
    Mediastinal neoplasms are rare in the elderly, and clinical suspicion is the first and most important step of differential diagnosis. Mediastinal tumors can be misdiagnosed because their symptoms or signs can overlap with cardiovascular diseases, which have a higher prevalence among the older population. The diagnostic process should be managed with multimodality imaging and clinical judgement. Here, the case of a 74-year-old male patient, who presented with shortness of breath, is examined. A chest X-ray revealed an increased cardiothoracic ratio, and he was diagnosed with hemopericardium following an emergent chest computed tomography. In the echocardiography, it was suspected that a hyperechogenic area adjacent to the heart might be due to a mass, and further examinations confirmed a mediastinal neoplasm. A surgical biopsy was performed, and it was determined to be a mesenchymal tumor. To conclude, clinicians should keep in mind the possibility of paracardiac neoplasm in the elderly, as well as in other age groups, when encountering mediastinal widening so that the patient can be protected from unnecessary interventions such as pericardiocentesis.

    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.
