Item Clinicopathological Evaluation of Childhood Sacrococcygeal Germ Cell Tumors: A Single-Center Experience(2022) Hasbay, Bermal; Canpolat, Tuba; Aktekin, Elif; Ozkan, Hasan; Kekec, Senay Demir; 35781237Objective: We aimed to evaluate the cases of sacrococcygeal germ cell tumors diagnosed in our hospital between 2006 and June 2021. Materials and Methods::We evaluated 38 sacrococcygeal germ cell tumors cases in our series in terms of age, sex, clinical complaints, localization, macroscopy, tumor size, histopathological diagnosis, surgical, postoperative complications, treatment, recurrence, and prognosis. Results: The cases ranged from 1 day to 16 years of age; 14 cases were diagnosed with routine ultrasonographic examination during prenatal period while the rest of the cases most frequently presented with complaints of constipation. In terms of localization, 6 cases were type 1, 11 cases were type 2, 6 cases were type 3, and 15 cases were type 4. In the pathological evaluation, 25 cases were mature teratoma, 8 cases were immature teratoma, and 5 cases were pure yolk-sac tumor. In terms of complications, temporary colostomy was performed as a result of rupture during birth in 2 cases, disseminated intravascular coagulation at birth in 1 case, and colon injury in 2 cases. There was a recurrence in 2 of our cases. Thirty-seven of our cases were alive and 1 died. Alpha-fetoprotein level was high in 28 of our cases. Conclusion: In our series, type 4 cases were observed more frequently, contrary to the literature. We recommend to use a routine ultrasonography to patients who come to the clinic with complaints of constipation and inability to urinate and if a mass is detected, asking for alphafetoprotein for further follow-up. Sacrococcygeal germ cell tumors are ultimately a disease that can be successfully treated with multidisciplinary approach, accurate diagnosis in the antenatal and postnatal period, appropriate surgical intervention, and regular follow-up.Item Parotid gland tuberculosis accompanied by brucellosis(2021) Inan, Serhat; Caylakli, Fatma; Canpolat, Tuba; 0000-0002-7333-2896; 0000-0001-8821-4481; AAP-7195-2020; AAJ-1407-2021Almost one-fourth of the world's population is latently infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) with approximately 3% to 15% people at risk of progression to active disease during their lifetime. Parotid gland tuberculosis (TB) is an extremely rare form of extrapulmonary TB even in endemic areas. Parotid gland TB presents clinically as a unilateral, slow-growing, and possibly painless mass. Parotid gland TB tends to mimic parotid tumors without pathological evaluation. Risk factors for active infection in extrapulmonary TB forms are human immunodeficiency virus, malnutrition, diabetes mellitus, smoking, alcoholism, hematological malignancies, and immunosuppressive treatments. Brucellosis is a systemic disease that is transmitted from unpasteurized milk and dairy products obtained from an infected animal. It can affect many organs. Brucellosis is difficult to diagnose because its signs and symptoms are nonspecific and mimic many diseases. The aim of this case report is to present the clinical features, pathophysiology, diagnostic process, and treatment of a parotid gland TB case accompanied by brucellosis, the diagnosis and treatment of which were based on the suspicion of the clinician, in the light of the literature.Item First case of cardiac amyloidosis presenting as right atrial mass(2019) Acibuca, Aynur; Okar, Sefa; Canpolat, Tuba; Koc, Zafer; Gullu, Hakan; 0000-0003-1413-7393; 0000-0002-3444-8845; 31475954; AAF-2872-2020; ABG-4047-2020Item What are extraintestinal diagnostic tips in children with Crohn's disease?(2019) Canan, Oguz; Durdu, Murat; Canpolat, TubaItem Venous thrombosis of sarcoidosis as an unusual incidental finding on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography(2015) Erhamamci, Seval; Reyhan, Mehmet; Yapar, Ali Fuat; Canpolat, Tuba; 26430325Sarcoidosis is defined as a multisystem granulomatous disorder of unknown cause. Venous thrombosis (VT) in the sarcoidosis is rare. The routine use of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) has resulted in clinicians detecting many incidental findings, which have proven to be clinically significant such as thrombosis. Here, we present a case with VT of sarcoidosis in the inferior vena cava and portal vein as an unusual incidental finding on 18F-FDG PET/CT.Item Myofibroblastoma of the Breast(2015) Aytac, Huseyin Ozgur; Bolat, Filiz Aka; Canpolat, Tuba; Pourbagher, Aysin; 28331720This study aimed presenting a case of a 64-year-old woman with a rare diagnosis of myofibroblastoma (MFB). MFB is one of the rare, benign, spindle-like stromal tumors arising from the connective tissue of the breast. MFBs are often confused with fibroadenomas and hamartomas because of their benign characteristic appearance on breast imaging and are diagnosed after excisional biopsies. Their differential diagnosis with malignant neoplasia of the breast is important because of their wide morphological spectrum. Our case also demonstrated a breast mass with benign imaging characteristics and a needle core biopsy revealing a benign, spindle-like stromal tumor. The pathological examination performed after the excision of the lump demonstrated a collagenous-/fibrous-type MFB. This case report emphasizes the rare but important place of MFB variants of the breast in the differential diagnosis of breast mass.Item Clinical and histopathological characteristics and differential diagnosis of chordomas(2016) Canpolat, Tuba; Bal, Nebil; Cinar, MuratPurpose: Chordomas are rare malignant bone tumours occuring in the midline of axial skeleton. We aimed to assess these tumors which has been diagnosed in our center in terms of clinical and pathologic characteristics, and differantial diagnosis difficulties. Material and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated cinical and histopathologic characteristics of 10 chordoma patients diagnosed at pathology department of Baskent University Adana Teaching and Resarch Hospital between 2009 and 2014. Results: The patients were consisted of men (n= 9) and women (n= 1) with the age of 61.3 (38-84) years old. The localization of chordomas were the sacrococcygeal region at eight patients (80%), lumbar vertebrae at one patient ( 10%) and clivus at one patient (10%). The mean diameter was 4.68 (2.5-7.5) cm. Histopathologically, majority of cases were "conventional chordoma" while one of them was "chondroid chordoma". Surgical excision was performed for all patients, only one case has recieved radiotherapy, and chemotherapy was given after surgery for one patient. Local recurrence was detected in three patients and distant metastasis (lung) was found in a patient and he died in a short time. Conclusion: Because that chordomas are rare clinical bone tumours which can be treated efficiently by appropriate surgical excision, clinical and histopathological characteristics and differential diagnosis should be well known.Item A Rare Cause of Left Ventricular Mass: Cardiac Hemangioma(2018) Altin, Cihan; Gullu, Hakan; Bilgel, Ziya Gokalp; Yilmaz, Mustafa; Canpolat, Tuba; Gulcan, Omer; 29588260
