Mesenteric teratoma is a rare extragonadal teratoma. Gliomatosis peritonei (GP) is mature glial tissue implanted into the peritoneum's surface and is mainly accompanied by ovarian teratoma. Only a few cases of gliomatosis have occurred in the extraperitoneum. We present a rare case of a 3-year-old boy who presented with extratesticular GP after excision of an immature mesenteric teratoma at 2 months old. After the extratesticular mass was excised, we found ductile tissue on the surface of the terminal spermatic cord and epididymis. Some ductile tissue of the epididymis was removed and sent to a laboratory for a pathological examination. The mass and the ductile tissue of the epididymis had a hard consistency. The pathological diagnosis was extratesticular gliomatosis. Complete surgical resection of the teratoma and GP is helpful for identifying the presence of malignant lesions and for preventing malignant transformation. However, characteristics of GP lesions are extensive and they are difficult to completely remove. Moreover, GP is usually benign. Therefore, the residual GP tissue was not completely removed in our case. The child is still in good health, but requires lifelong follow-up. In conclusion, we report our experience of a rare case of extraperitoneal GP from an extragonadal teratoma.

ABSTRACT A case of a dentigerous cyst located in the mandible of a 32-year-old male was reported. The patient was consulted to our clinic with complaining discomfort in the retromolar area of the left mandible. Radiographic examination revealed regularly demarcated huge bone resorption in the left molar area. Under local anesthesia, lesion was excised and specimen was sent for pathological examination. Microscopic examination of the excised tissue showed it to be well-circumscribed with fibrous tissues, and the cystic space lined by keratinized epithelium. There was no evidence of recurrence of the cysts. The patient remained in good health during the 1 year follow-up. How to cite this article Findik Y, Baykul T.

Objective: To describe a rare pathology, the liposarcoma of the spermatic cord (LSC), and discuss its diagnosis and treatment. Materials and Methods: We report a case of well-differentiated LSC in a 61-year-old man. The main complaint was painless enlargement in the right inguinoscrotal area that appeared 6 months prior to presentation. Ultrasonography showed a heterogeneous and hyperechogenic mass of the right spermatic cord that was highly suspicious of malignancy. Computed tomography confirmed a heterogeneous supratesticular mass. The mass was surgically removed. Results: Pathological examination showed a well-differentiated LSC. The patient did not receive any additional treatment. The follow-up did not present complications or further symptoms and, at present, the patient is in complete remission. Conclusion: LCSs are a very rare entity. The diagnosis is difficult and often mistaken with common scrotal swelling associated with a hernia, hydrocele, or other tumour. Treatment should include complete surgical excision, usually by radical inguinal orchiectomy. A long follow-up period is necessary.

We report a rare case of three leiomyomas of the spermatic cord and testis in a 73-year-old man. Indirect, large, painful, non-reducible inguinal hernia was diagnosed at admission. During surgery, the hernia was revealed. Furthermore, two tumors were found, both attached on the spermatic cord, and a third tumor close to the testis. All the tumors were carefully removed and no orchidectomy was performed. Hernia repair was performed and the removed tumors were sent to the Pathology Department. All tumors were benign. At the first follow up, chromosomal analysis was also performed. Chromosomal lymphocyte analysis revealed increased fragility at site 4q31. Two years after surgery, the patient was admitted again with a new similar tumor, and underwent a new surgical treatment. In the case of large non-reducible inguinal hernias, surgeons have to consider tumors in the inguinal area in their differential diagnosis.

Alveolar adenoma is an isolated, well-defined peripheral lung tumor that originates from type II alveolar cells. The tumor consists of a network of simple, low-cubic, epithelium-coated lacunae with varying amounts of fine and inconspicuous-to-thick spindle cells that sometimes contain mucus sample matrix. Few cases of alveolar adenoma have been reported. These tumors are usually detected by imaging examinations where the alveolar adenoma typically presents as a peripheral, solitary cystic nodule in the lung. The presentation may mimic that of other types of lung tumors, consequently leading to difficulties in the differential diagnosis of this condition. Thus, accurate diagnosis of alveolar adenoma is based on a combination of pathological sections and immunohistochemistry. This study describes an alveolar adenoma in a 59-year-old female patient. Chest X-ray imaging and chest computed tomography identified malignant lesions in the right upper lobe. The patient subsequently underwent a thoracoscopic right upper lobectomy. The diagnosis of alveolar adenoma was confirmed after pathological examination of the excised postoperative tissue. The disease course was stable, and there was no recurrence of pulmonary lesions during 3 years of postoperative patient follow-up. Herein, we report the case of a patient with benign alveolar adenoma with poor imaging and pathological results.

Struma Ovarii

Struma ovarii is a rare variant of the mature ovarian teratoma composed of more than 50% thyroid tissue. Thyroid type carcinoma can occur in 5% of struma ovarii. Given the rarity of this pathology, as well as the different clinical course, approaches to the treatment of this disease are controversial. The proposed approaches to treatment vary from ovarian resection to total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and adjuvant therapy. We present here 6 case reports of thyroid type carcinoma in struma ovarii and outcome of patients treated in our clinic. All patients had pelvic surgery of different extent, followed by thyroidectomy and radioiodine therapy. The incidence of metastasis is 67% (4/6), 2 - intraperitoneal metas-tases, 2 - bone metastases. Among patients with metastases, 2 have reached a complete response, one with a good response continues treatment, one had progression. The follow-up period is 1 to 15 years (median 4 years). One patient with follicular carcinoma died of progression 8 years after diagnosis. The remaining patients are alive.

We reported a rare case of spontaneous frank rupture of a small (4 mm) penetrating aortic ulcer in the ascending aorta resulted in catastrophic bleeding. The ulcer only created a pinhole wound in the adventitia without saccular aneurysms, intramural hematomas, or aortic dissections. Notably, the wound could be directly closed because the aortic wall was intact only 5 mm away from the bleeding site. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on the 11th postoperative day. After 8 months, follow-up computed tomography showed no abnormality of the aortic wall at the repair site.

We report a case of severe hypokalaemia and moderate hypophosphataemia from clay ingestion. A 60-year-old woman presented with flaccid paralysis. Investigations revealed a serum potassium level of 1.8 mmol/L, phosphate level of 0.56 mmol/L and creatine kinase level of 30 747 IU/L. She had marked proximal and distal muscle weakness due to severe hypokalaemia and concurrent hypophosphataemia, which likely contributed to the onset of rhabdomyolysis. The patient subsequently admitted to significant pica, most likely secondary to an associated iron deficiency. We conclude that the ingested clay acted as a potassium and phosphate binder. Although we did not investigate the content of the clay in this case, it has been reported that clay can bind potassium in vitro and is rich in minerals such as aluminium that could play a role in the binding of phosphate, although the exact mechanism remains unclear. The patient recovered fully and outpatient follow-up at 6 months and again at 40 months confirmed no electrolyte abnormality, myopathy nor any further geophagia.
