Lipogranuloma with Osseous Metaplasia in the Breast That Developed after "Bu-Hwang" Oriental Medicine Treatment

A lipogranuloma is an inflammatory reactive process associated with exogenous or endogenous lipids, and it's occurrence in the breast has rarely been reported. Osseous metaplasia, which is used to describe bone formation in abnormal locations, can develop from several conditions such as trauma or a tumor. However, few studies have reported benign breast lesions that have been seen as osseous metaplasia. We present a case of a benign calcified breast lesion that developed after a traumatic treatment process called "Bu-Hwang", and it was confirmed as a lipogranuloma with osseous metaplasia. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a lipogranuloma with osseous metaplasia in the breast

Fine needle aspiration biopsy in head and neck lesions

1994-1996 döneminde ince iğne aspirasyonu (İİA) polikliniğinde bizzat patolog tarafından gerçekleştirilen 1000 İİA olgusundan 584'ü baş -boyun lezyonlarına aittir. 560 olguda (% 95,89) İİA ile tanı için yeterli materyal elde edilmiştir. Seride 383 tiroid 115 lenf nodulu, 51 cilt-cilt altı ve 35 tükrük bezi lezyonu yer almaktadır. Hastalarda İİA'na bağlı komplikasyon olmamıştır. İİA'nu takiben biyopsi uygulanan 89 olgu gözönünde bulundurulduğunda sensitivite % 78, spesifite %94'tür.Baş boyun lezyonlarında İİA sitolojisi kolay, hızlı, ekonomik ve güvenilirliği yüksek bir tanı yöntemidir, işlemin patolog tarafından gerçekleştirilmiş olması yeterli tanısal materyal elde edilme oranını, doğru sitolojik yaklaşım ve tanıya varılmasını olumlu yönde etkilemekte; gerek hasta, gereke patolog ve klinisyenler açısından çeşitli avantajlar sağlamaktadır.During a period between 1994-1996,1000 fine needle aspirations ,(FNA) were performed by the pathologist in our FNA policlinic, 584 of these cases were located in, the region of head-neck. In 560 (95,89%) of the cases adequate materials were obtained: The distribution of the cases is 383 thyroid, 115 lymphnode, 51 cutaneus-subcutaneus and 35 salivary gland. There was no complications in any of the patients. In 89 cases, which performed biopsy followed by FNA, the sensitivity is 78% and specifity is 94%. In head-neck lesions FNA cytology is a simple ,rapid, low-costed and highly reliable diagnostic method. The fact procedure is carried on by a pathologist affect the rate of satisfactory diagnostic material, correct histologic intervention and diagnosis positively, provide numerous advantages for the patient, pathologist and clinicians.

Lumbosacral meningial hamartoma and hypertrichosis: A case report

Objective: Ectopic meningiomas are rare tumors. In this paper, we describe a patient with lumbosacral meningeal hamartoma and hypertrichosis. Methods: An 18-year-old female with a red-violet skin lesion on her lower back was determined spina bifida at L5-S1 by x-ray. Magnetic resonance imaging sequences showed a fibrous band arising from a posterior fusion defect at L5-S1. Light microscopy examination of the specimen were seen islets of meningothelial cells and calcified psammoma bodies spread among the vessels, neuronal structures, and dense collagenous tissue. Result:We present a case lumbosacral ectopic hamartoma with hypertrichosis and a review of the nomenclature, classification and pathogenesis of this disorder. Conclusion: Ectopic meningiomas are rare tumors in which etiopathogenesis is not clear. They are usually independent of intracranial meningiomas. These lesions characterize with clinical and pathological diagnostic difficulties. In the literature, these lesions have been given a lot of names like ectopic meningioma, meningial hamartoma, cu tenons meningioma. Because this lesion did not consist solelv of meningial elements, we suggested that the cases should be more accurately labeled as meningial hamartoma

PCNA and Ki-67 in central nervous system tumors: Correlation with the histological type and grade

PubMedID: 12125971Determination of proteins in the control of proliferation in normal cells helps a better understanding of cellular transformation and proliferation mechanisms. Measurement of proliferative activity is important in determining the tumor grade, recurrence span and malignancy. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and Ki-67 are two of the nuclear markers used to demonstrate the proliferative phase of the cell cycle. In the present study, 63 central nervous system (CNS) tumors of various histologic types, diagnosed in Çukurova University Medical Faculty, Department of Pathology and graded according to WHO grading system were examined for PCNA and Ki-67 monoclonal antibodies using immunohistochemistry. Results were analyzed with statistical methods. Distribution of PCNA and Ki-67 LI (labeling index) values were determined for different tumor types. The highest PCNA and Ki-67 LI values were detected in medulloblastoma, malignant meningioma, primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) and glioblastoma (GBM) groups, while pilocytic astrocytoma, meningioma, craniopharyngioma and oligodendroglioma showed the lowest values. In such tumors, the correlation between the increasing grade and PCNA and Ki-67 LI values were statistically significant. A correlation between the clinical outcome and Ki-67 and PCNA LI values was also detected. Conclusively, both markers can be used to evaluate the tumor grade and to assess the possibility of recurrence and malignancy in CNS tumors

Bilateral parotid gland tuberculosis

PubMedID: 16474972Tuberculosis is caused by a mycobacterium and is one of the most serious diseases in the world. Pulmonary involvement is the most common form of this condition. Primary tuberculosis of the parotid gland is rare. We report such a case in a 34-year-old man who presented with a painless preauricular mass on each side of his head. The clinical presentation, diagnosis, pathological findings and treatment are described. © Springer-Verlag 2006
