Leiomyoma of the anal canal originating from internal sphincter is an extremely rare clinical entity. Generally, it does not produce any signs unless large enough to cause obstruction, discomfort, bleeding or pain. The diagnosis often made incidentally during rectal examination due other perianal disease check-up. Herein we report a case leiomyoma diagnosed unexpectedly in patient with fistula, and treated successfully surgical excision. We present review literature, diagnostic strategies,...

Objective: Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a serious disease with poor outcomes, and its prevalence has been increasing steadily. The circadian rhythm (CR) involved in multiple physiological events maintains homeostasis. Alterations the CR elevate risk of developing cancer. present case–control research was carried out to estimate possible association between PERIOD2/PERIOD3 (PER2/PER3) gene variable number tandem repeat polymorphism (VNTR) variants PC Turkish population. Materials Methods: A...

Agenesis of the gallbladder and cystic duct is a rare congenital anomaly occurring in <0.1% population. However, combined agenesis (CDA) with polycystic liver disease associated recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) has not been reported earlier. Herein we report case 36-year-old female patient who was admitted to hospital successfully treated for most probably caused background CDA disease. In non-visualization presence biliary symptoms after repeated ultrasonographic examinations, advanced...

The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical significance incidental thyroid 18F-FDG PET/CT uptake in oncology patients with focus achieving most appropriate management challenging situation.Two thousand five hundred and eighty studies performed at our institute past 4 years were retrospectively reviewed. Patients FDG gland further analysed.The prevalence was 7.6% (129 patients). 26 (20.1%) had diffuse uptake, 103 (79.1%) nodular gland. All who examined diagnosed be a benign...

The aim of this study is to present the importance systemic inflammatory markers in patients with malignant bowel obstruction (MBO) due intra-abdominal tumor metastasis. Patients who developed MBO end-stage metastatic tumoral disease between October 2010 and September 2018 were retrospectively investigated. Clinical data such as age, sex, histopathological diagnosis primary level metastasis recorded. still receiving chemotherapy had no involvement abdomen excluded from study. non-abdominal...

Appendiceal duplication is an extremely rare entity in adulthood.It usually diagnosed incidentally during laparotomy performed for another indication.Herein, we present a case of double appendicitis 31-year male who underwent with preliminary diagnosis acute appendicitis.Two appendices attached via separate bases to cecum were identified intraoperatively.One them was thick-walled, partial 1 perforated from the apex region and other one normal looking.Both had their own radices.They stuck...

Gastritis is a progressive disease that evolves from non-atrophic to atrophic state and progresses through intestinal metaplasia, with some cases leading eventually gastric cancer. Since gastritis by definition an inflammatory process of the mucosal lining stomach usually associated pain, we aimed identify any association between severity pain simple marker derived complete blood count (CBC). This was prospective cross-sectional study which enrolled 155 consecutive adult patients who...

BACKGROUND The immune system responds to many diseases by triggering an inflammatory response, which in turn produces changes the formulation of blood elements circulation. Certain parameters derived from complete count, mainly neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), have been used as biomarkers diagnosis and prognosis solid tumors. METHODS A total 66 patients who underwent surgery for adrenal lesions were analyzed. Complete countderived obtained preoperatively studied according nature definitive...

Aim: Colonoscopy is the most commonly used diagnostic tool for screening colorectal cancer in asymptomatic individuals and surveillance patients with a history of colonic disease. The procedure has several drawbacks, including acute colon perforation. As elderly aging immune systems frequently respond inadequately to physiologic stress, this life-threatening complication requires meticulous management patient cohort. We aimed evaluate minimally invasive surgical approach iatrogenic...

Breast cancer is the most common in women. Staging plays an important role treatment planning. In staging system published by AJCC 2002, micrometastasis, total number of metastatic lymph nodes, internal mammarian and supraclavicular node metastases, level III (apical) metastases were incorporated to system. These modifications are likely cause upstaging changes plans, precisely patients previously considered as stage II. This study aimed investigate outcomes update terms mortality morbidity....
