Most of melanomas of the gallbladder are metastatic lesions of cutaneous melanoma. Primary melanomas of the gallbladder are described as single, polypoid, intraluminal masses emanating from the mucous membrane. The most important characteristic is the absence of melanoma damage to the skin. If it is not possible to localize primary melanoma a multidisciplinary approach to diagnostic search comes to the fore. Predicting for primary melanoma of the gallbladder is a difficult task due to the small number of cases and the absence of long-term follow-up for this category of patients.

SummaryBackground/Aim: Our aim is to describe multidisciplinary approach to primary tuberculous lymphadenitis with a case report.Case Report: A 6-year-old boy was referred to İstanbul University, Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with the symptoms of painless extra-oral abscess and lymphadenopathy. The diagnosis of primary tuberculous lymphadenitis was proved by microbiological culture and ultrasound imaging.Conclusions: Combine tuberculosis treatment should be applied and long term follow up is necessary. Excisional biopsy for tissue diagnosis and bacterial examination with culture should be performed for an early diagnosis as a delay in treatment can lead to devastating consequences.

Background and Importance: Transorbitocranial assaults with sharp objects like a knife are rare neuro-ophthalmologic emergencies. However, they can have dramatic functional and life-threatening consequences. Our presentation aims to report the importance of an urgent multidisciplinary approach and to raise awareness among the general population on the importance of preventing violent behavior. Case Presentation: A 33-year-old man was a victim of a knife attack without obvious brain or ophthalmological lesions. The knife entered the medial part of the orbit. Neurological examination was normal, and Computed Tomography (CT) scan showed intracranial trajectory through the orbit to the frontal horn of the lateral ventricle. The knife was extracted without complications. The patient reported spectacular improvement in visual acuity without neurological or oculomotor deficit at long-term follow-up. In this case report, we will discuss the radiological diagnosis and surgical management of transorbital and orbitocranial injuries by foreign body penetration. Conclusion: Urgent multidisciplinary management in orbitocranial trauma by stabbing is mandatory to avoid life-threatening complications and irreversible damages.

The closed chest convergent procedure is a multidisciplinary approach to atrial fibrillation (AF) treatment. Epicardial posterior left atrial (PLA) ablation is performed by a cardiac surgeon using a transdiaphragmatic endoscope, immediately followed by percutaneous pulmonary vein (PV) isolation performed by a cardiac electrophysiologist. Interim outcomes for the treatment of non-paroxysmal AF (NPAF) were evaluated based on peri-procedural safety and complications, freedom from recurrent AF, and need for cardioversion or repeat catheter ablation at three, six and 12 months post-procedure. A total of 43 patients (86 % NPAF) underwent the convergent procedure. Patients were 84 % male, with mean age 58.6 ± 8.7 years. Mean AF duration was 45.4 ± 40.3 months. Pre-procedure left atrium (LA) volumetric data using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) was available for 30 patients (70 %). Average LA volume was 155.5 ± 48.4 millilitres (ml); two-thirds of patients had a LA volume >130 ml. There was no operative or peri-operative mortality. Sinus rhythm (SR) was recorded at three months in 31 of 39 (79 %) patients, at six months in 24 of 27 (89 %) patients and at 12 months in nine patients. The convergent procedure is a safe and effective option for both PV isolation and PLA substrate ablation in NPAF patients. Long-term follow-up is required and randomised clinical trials warranted.

GISTs (Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors) are the most frequently encountered mesenchymal tumor of the gastrointestinal tract. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors have been recognized as a biologically distinctive tumor type, different from smooth muscle and neural tumors of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). GISTs present 0.1%-3.0% of gastrointestinal malignant tumors. The goals in treating patients with GIST are to maximize the chance of cure, minimize recurrence. A multidisciplinary approach to patients with GISTs is necessary to optimize the timing of medical and surgical therapy as they have unpredictable behavior. Also long term follow up is essential for all patients, independent of their benign or malignant characteristics. This review highlight on clinical, diagnostic imaging, histopatholpgical, immunohistochemical ,new markers and management modalities for Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GISTs) and Extragastrointestinal stromal tumors (E-GISTs).
