    C-MYC and BCL2 Translocation Frequency in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphomas: A Study Of 97 Patients
    (2016) Akkaya, Bahar; Salim, Ozan; Akkaya, Hampar; Ozcan, Mualla; Yucel, Orhan Kemal; Erdem, Ramazan; Iltar, Utku; Undar, Levent; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7070-6901; 26960633; ABG-2028-2020
    Purpose: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma with marked biologic heterogeneity. MYC and BCL2 rearrangements have been reported in a proportion of DLBCLs, where they may be associated with an adverse clinical outcome. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of MYC and BCL2 translocations in DLBCL and assess the prognostic impact in DLBCL patients. Materials and Methods: HAIR SPACE In the present study, we evaluated the expression patterns of CD 10, BCL6, and MUM 1 by immunohistochemistry in 121 cases with DLBCL in tissue microarray (TMA): 62 cases in germinal center B-cells (GCBs); and 59 cases in activated B-cells (ABCs) of which 60 were females and 61 were males. MYC and BCL2 rearrangements were investigated by interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization on TMAs in 97 DLBCLs. Result: MYC rearrangements were observed in 11 of 97 cases. There was no association with other clinical features, including age, sex, and nodal/extranodal disease. MYC rearrangement was associated with significantly worse overall survival (P < 0.01). BCL2 rearrangements were observed in 14 of 97 cases. There was no association with other clinical features including age and sex. BCL2 rearrangement had a worse outcome (P < 0.01). MYC and BCL2 rearrangements were observed in 3 of 97 cases with the age ofHAIR SPACE 53 (female), 53, 63 years old, respectively, died in 24, 18, and 35 months after the diagnosis. Two cases had primary nodal and one case primary extranodal presentations. All these patients had stage IV disease. Conclusion: We concluded that C-MYC and BCL2 may contribute to aggressive transformation, and more mechanism-based therapy should be explored. Targeted therapies involving these rearrangements and its associated pathways may change the fate of DLBCLs. Analysis of MYC gene rearrangement along with BCL2 is critical in the identification of high-risk patients with poor prognosis.

    Squamous cell carcinoma of the penis: a clinicopathological study from a population with late circumcision
    (2019) Baydar, Dilek Ertoy; Akkaya, Hampar; Apa, Duygu Dusmez; Bal, Nebil; Demirsam, Asli; Gucluer, Berrin; Nese, Nalan; Sari, Aysegul Akder; Kirdar, Sevin; Akdogan, Bulent; Karabulut, Erdem; 31658325
    Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the penis has been subject to only a few studies in populations where late childhood circumcision is performed. To asses clinicopathological features and human papillomavirus (HPV) status of penile SCC in men with late circumcision, eight institutions in the country volunteered to collaborate and 15 cases of penile SCC were collected from their pathology archives. The presence and genotype of HPV were determined in addition to clinicopathological features of the tumors. Findings were correlated with disease outcome. The mean age of the patients evaluated was 66.5 years. Histological subtypes were usual SCC (6/15), papillary (2/15), mixed (2/15), basaloid (2/15), acantholytic (1/15), pseudohyperplastic (1/15), and warty-basaloid (1/15) carcinomas. HPV was identified in 33.3% of samples; HPV16 was detected in 60% of positive cases and was associated with basaloid and/or warty morphology. Cause-specific 1-year and 2-year survivals were 76.9% and 54.5%, respectively. The usual subtype and nodal metastasis were associated with worse outcome (p=0.045 and p=0.047, respectively). As a conclusion, our results suggest an inclination for penile SCC to develop at a later age in a population with late circumcision than the patients from the regions of high penile cancer incidence. These men seem to have less frequent HPV association and their outcome appears poorer than other populations, although reaching substantial provision is not possible due to our limited case number.

    Proliferating Trichilemmal Tumor of the Auricula: A Very Rare Locus
    (2019) Coban, Kuebra; Akkaya, Hampar; Aydin, Erdinc; 31750191
    Proliferating trichilemmal tumor (PTT) is a rare but morphologically characteristic tumor, derived from the external root sheath. They are commonly localized as a solitary lesion on the scalp. They rarely occur in other regions. PTTs generally behave in a benign fashion, up to 20% of the lesions may undergo malignant transformation into squamous carcinoma. We present an elderly woman with a cystic swelling on the crus of auricular helix diagnosed as PTT. To our knowledge, this is the first case in the English literature, of PTT of the auricula.
