    (2014) Tepeoglu, Merih; Ozdemir, B.

    Hepatocellular carcinoma with prominent fatty change is rare, and to date only a few cases have been reported. In this article, we present a 57-year-old woman who underwent a liver transplant for hepatocellular carcinoma. Ten months after liver transplant, she presented with a persistent cough. Computed tomography of the chest was performed, revealing a solid lung mass that measured 1 Chi 0.9 cm in the right inferior lobe. Right inferior lobectomy was performed, and the final diagnosis was noted as hepatocellular carcinoma with prominent fatty change. Fatty change was extensive in the tumor; therefore, lipoid pneumonia was the first condition that was considered in the differential diagnosis during examination of the lobectomy material. For the differential diagnosis, the immunohistochemistry panel was studied to show the hepatocellular nature of the tumor. Although metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma to the lungs is expected, hepatocellular carcinoma with prominent fatty change can cause diagnostic difficulties, such as lipoid pneumonia, especially in small lung biopsies.

    Diagnosis and Treatment of Xanthogranulomatous Cholecystitis
    (2014) Yabanoglu, H.; Aydogan, C.; Karakayali, F.; Moray, G.; Haberal, M.; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1161-3369; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1547-1297; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1874-947X; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2498-7287; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3462-7632; 24817291; AAJ-7865-2021; AAJ-5296-2021; AAB-3888-2021; AAE-1041-2021; AAJ-8097-2021
    BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to review our case load of the treatment and outcomes of patients with xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Data about 21 patients were reviewed retrospectively to determine age, clinical symptoms and findings, preoperative screening, operative findings, surgical history, length of hospital stay, and postoperative complications. RESULTS: There were 14 men and 7 women (mean age, 65 +/- 11.3 yr). Preoperative ultrasonography of 17 patients showed a gallbladder stone in 14 patients, adenomyomatosis plus stones in 2 patients, and a polyp in 1 patient. There were 5 patients with acute cholecystitis and 16 patients with chronic cholecystitis. Gallbladder wall thickening was noted in 3 of the 12 patients who had abdominal computed tomography. Frozen section examinations were done in 5 patients. Radical cholecystectomy was done in 1 patient because of suspected carcinoma. CONCLUSIONS: It is difficult to diagnose XGC preoperatively or intraoperatively, and the definitive diagnosis depends exclusively on pathologic examination.

    Prognostic Value of the Number of the Metastatic Lymph Nodes in Locally Early-Stage Cervical Cancer: Squamous Cell Carcinoma Versus Non-Squamous Cell Carcinoma
    (2021) Aslan, Koray; Haberal, Ali; Akilli, Huseyin; Meydanli, Mehmet Mutlu; Ayhan, Ali; 0000-0002-5240-8441; 33772630; AAX-3230-2020
    Purpose To clarify the prognostic value of the number of metastatic lymph nodes (mLNs) in squamous and non-squamous histologies among women with node-positive cervical cancer. Methods One hundred ninety-one node-positive cervical cancer patients who had undergone radical hysterectomy plus systematic pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy followed by concurrent radiochemotherapy were retrospectively reviewed. The prognostic value of the number of mLNs was investigated in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) v (n = 148) and non-SCC (n = 43) histologies separately with univariate log-rank test and multivariate Cox regression analyses. Results In SCC cohort, mLNs > 2 was significantly associated with decreased 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) [hazard ratio (HR) = 2.06; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.03-4.09; p = 0.03) and overall survival (OS) (HR = 2.35, 95% CI 1.11-4.99; p = 0.02). However mLNs > 2 had no significant impact on 5-year DFS and 5-year OS rates in non-SCC cohort (p = 0.94 and p = 0.94, respectively). We stratified the entire study population as SCC with mLNs <= 2, SCC with mLNs > 2, and non-SCC groups. Thereafter, we compared survival outcomes. The non-SCC group had worse 5-year OS (46.8% vs. 85.3%, respectively; p < 0.001) and 5-year DFS rates (31.6% vs. 82.2%, respectively; p < 0.001) when compared to those of the SCC group with mLNs <= 2. However, the non-SCC group and the SCC group with mLNs > 2 had similar 5-year OS (46.8% vs. 65.5%, respectively; p = 0.16) and 5-year DFS rates (31.6% vs. 57.5%, respectively; p = 0.06). Conclusion Node-positive cervical cancer patients who have non-SCC histology as well as those who have SCC histology with mLNs > 2 seem to have worse survival outcomes when compared to women who have SCC histology with mLNs <= 2.

    Comparison of three different risk-stratification models for predicting lymph node involvement in endometrioid endometrial cancer clinically confined to the uterus
    (2017) Haberal, Ali; Kocaman, Eda; Dursun, Polat; Ayhan, Ali; Korkmaz, Vakkas; Meydanli, Mehmet Mutlu; Yalcin, Ibrahim; Sari, Mustafa Erkan; Sahin, Hanifi; Gungor, Tayfun; 0000-0002-1741-7035; 0000-0002-1486-7209; 0000-0002-7869-9662; 29027396; AAI-9331-2021; AAJ-5802-2021
    Objective: To compare the clinical validity of the Gynecologic Oncology Group-99 (GOG-99), the Mayo-modified and the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO)-modified criteria for predicting lymph node (LN) involvement in women with endometrioid endometrial cancer (EC) clinically confined to the uterus. Methods: A total of 625 consecutive women who underwent comprehensive surgical staging for endometrioid EC clinically confined to the uterus were divided into low- and high-risk groups according to the GOG-99, the Mayo-modified, and the ESMO-modified criteria. Lymphovascular space invasion is the cornerstone of risk stratification according to the ESMO-modified criteria. These 3 risk stratification models were compared in terms of predicting LN positivity. Results: Systematic LN dissection was achieved in all patients included in the study. LN involvement was detected in 70 (11.2%) patients. LN involvement was correctly estimated in 51 of 70 LN-positive patients according to the GOG-99 criteria (positive likelihood ratio [LR+], 3.3; negative likelihood ratio [LR-], 0.4), 64 of 70 LN-positive patients according to the ESMO-modified criteria (LR+, 2.5; LR-, 0.13) and 69 of the 70 LN-positive patients according to the Mayo-modified criteria (LR+, 2.2; LR-, 0.03). The area under curve of the Mayo-modified, the GOG-99 and the ESMO-modified criteria was 0.763, 0.753, and 0.780, respectively. Conclusion: The ESMO-modified classification seems to be the risk-stratification model that most accurately predicts LN involvement in endometrioid EC clinically confined to the uterus. However, the Mayo-modified classification may be an alternative model to achieve a precise balance between the desire to prevent over-treatment and the ability to diagnose LN involvement.
