The Given

The differential diagnosis of "empty" Turkish saddle syndrome and other pathologic changes of hypophysis is described and as well as the problems of conservative and operative treatment of the syndrome are presented. The patients own observation with "empty" Turkish saddle syndrome confirming the necessity of prolactin level investigation in the dynamics in the presence of the treatment to exclude the given pathology is performed.

Posterior Ankle Impingement

Osteochondromas are the most common benign bone tumors. They are usually asymptomatic and found incidentally. When symptomatic, the symptoms are usually due to its location and size. Fracture of an osteochondroma presenting as posterior ankle impingement is a rare condition. We describe a 22-year-old man with solitary exostosis who presented with a posterior ankle mass and posterior ankle impingement with 2 years of follow-up. Surgical intervention was the treatment of choice in this patient, and histologic examination revealed a benign osteochondroma. Osteochondromas found in the posterior aspect of the talus can be complicated by fracture due to persistent motion of the ankle. Talar osteochondroma should be included in the differential diagnosis of posterior ankle impingement causes. Posterior talar osteochondromas, especially when a stalk is present, should be treated surgically before it is more complicated by a fracture and posterior ankle impingement.

We report a case of Giant Cell Tumor (GCT) arising from anterior are of first rib along with literature review which was treated with excision of rib through its normal margin along with tumor mass. GCT of rib is rare and if found mostly arises from the posterior aspect. However, GCT should be considered as differential diagnosis when bony mass is present in the anterior are of rib. It poses surgical challenge for excision because of the delicate and vital neurovascular structures passing above it between clavicle and first rib. Keywords: first rib, giant cell tumor.

Final Pathology

AbstractOmental cysts are the least common cystic lesions of the abdomen. Large intraabdominal cysts can mimic ascites. The incidence of 1 in 20000 pediatric hospital admissions makes them hard to diagnose. We report a three year-old boy with accidentally discovered intraperitoneal fluid collection on ultrasonography. The patient was scheduled for operative treatment with working diagnosis of ascites, but finding of no fluid in Morison’s pouch brought to massive cystic intraabdominal lesion as differential diagnosis. The cyst was emptied; altered parts of the greater omentum were completely excised. Final pathology confirmed lymphangioma. Explorative laparotomy led to correct diagnosis and proper surgical treatment.

Laparoscopic Right Hemicolectomy

An 81-year-old man was referred to the colorectal surgeons for an elective laparoscopic right hemicolectomy for a caecal adenocarcinoma (T2N0M0). The operation was uneventful; however, 12 days postoperatively the patient developed symptoms of sepsis of unknown origin. After extensive investigations and work up, Candida albicans was grown as the causative organism with the site of infection being a new saccular mycotic aneurysm arising from the distal, posterior aspect of the aortic arch. The mycotic aneurysm was not initially considered as a differential diagnosis, and this case highlights the importance of consideration of mycotic aneurysm as a differential diagnosis in postsurgical septic patients.

Microscopic Diagnosis

The broadest application of transmission electron microscopy (EM) in diagnostic medicine is the identification of tumors that cannot be classified by routine light microscopy. EM is useful in the evaluation of approximately 10% of human neoplasms, but the extent of its contribution varies considerably. It may provide a specific diagnosis that can not be reached by other means, but in contrast, the information obtained from ultrastructural study of some 10% of tumors does not significantly add to that available from light microscopy. Most cases fall somewhere between these two extremes: EM may correct a light microscopic diagnosis, or serve to narrow a differential diagnosis by excluding some of the possibilities considered by light microscopy. It is particularly important to correlate the EM findings with data from light microscopy, clinical examination, and other diagnostic procedures.
