| 1 | Fascioliasis presenting as colon cancer liver metastasis on 18Ffluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography: A case report显示文摘BACKGROUND Fascioliasis is caused by watercress and similar freshwater plants or drinking water or beverages contaminated with metacercariae. Fascioliasis can radiologically mimic many primary or metastatic liver tumors. Herein, we aimed to present the treatment process of a patient with fascioliasis mimicking colon cancer liver metastasis. CASE SUMMARY A 35-year-old woman who underwent right hemicolectomy due to cecum cancer was referred to our clinic for management of colon cancer liver metastasis. Both computed tomography and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography revealed several tumoral lesions localized in the right lobe of the liver. After a 6-course FOLFOX (folinic acid, fluorouracil, oxaliplatin) and bevacizumab regimen, the hypermetabolic state on both liver and abdominal lymph nodes continued, and chemotherapy was extended to a 12-course regimen. The patient was referred to our institute when the liver lesions were detected to be larger on dynamic liver magnetic resonance imaging 6 weeks after completion of chemotherapy. Right hepatectomy was performed, and histopathological examination was compatible with fascioliasis. Fasciola hepatica IgG enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was positive. The patient was administered two doses of triclabendazole (10 mg/kg/dose) 24 h apart. During the follow-up period, dilatation was detected in the common bile duct, and Fasciola parasites were extracted from the common bile duct by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Triclabendazole was administered to the patient after ERCP. CONCLUSION Parasitic diseases, such as those caused by Fasciola hepatica, should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of primary or metastatic liver tumors, such as colorectal cancer liver metastasis, in patients living in endemic areas. | Sami Akbulut Egemen Ozdemir Emine Samdanci Selver Unsal Murat Harputluoglu Sezai Yilmaz | 2019 | World Journal of Hepatology2019,11,8: | 1 |
| 2 | Short-term effect of topical brinzolamide-timolol fixed combination on ocular surface of glaucoma patients显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the short-term effect of the fixed combination of brinzolamide-timolol on the ocular surface in glaucoma patients. METHODS: This is a prospective study of 23 eyes of 23 patients with newly diagnosed glaucoma. Schirmer Ⅰ test, tear break-up time (BUT) measurement, conjunctival impression cytology and central corneal thickness (CCT) measurements were performed in one of the eyes of each patients before and 4 weeks after brinzolamide-timolol fixed combination therapy. All patients were asked to answer the OSDI questionnaire form about the ocular surface symptoms at baseline and at 1 week and 4 weeks follow-up visits. RESULTS: After brinzolamide-timolol fixed combination theraphy, Schirmer Ⅰ, BUT and CCT values decreased but the only statistically significant decrease was seen in BUT test (P =0.03). OSDI scores increased during the follow-up but this increase was not statistically significant (P =0.22, P = 0.42 respectively). Impression cytology findings ranged from 0.78±0.42 to 0.95±0.36 according to the Nelson classification. There was no statistically significant difference between baseline and 4 weeks follow up in impression cytology grades (P =0.15). CONCLUSION: The results of our study indicate that short-term use of brinzolamide-timolol fixed combination theraphy does not have a profound effect on ocular surface except BUT values. | Penpe Gul Firat Emine Samdanci Selim Doganay Mufide Cavdar Nurdan Sahin Abuzer Gunduz | 2012 | International Journal of Ophthalmology(English edition)2012,5,6: | 1 |
| 3 | Neuroendocrine tumor incidentally detected during living donor hepatectomy: A case report and review of literature显示文摘To our best knowledge, no case of a tumor that was incidentally detected during living donor hepatectomy(LDH) has been reported in the English language medical literature. We present two cases in which grade Ⅰ neuroendocrine tumors(NET) were incidentally detected during our twelve-year LDH experience. First Case: A 26-yearold male underwent LDH for his brother suffering from HBV-related chronic liver disease(CLD). After right lobe LDH, intestinal length was measured as part of a study concerning the relationship between small intestinal lengths and surgical procedure. At this stage, a mass lesion with a size of 10 mm × 10 mm was detected on the antimesenteric surface, approximately 90 cm proximal to the ileocecal valve. A wedge resection with primary intestinal anastomosis was performed. Second Case: A 29-year-old male underwent right lobe LDH for his father with hepatitis B virus(HBV)-related CLD. An abdominal exploration immediately prior to the closure of the incision revealed that the appendix vermiformis was edematous and had firmness with a size of 8-10 mm at its tip. An appendectomy was performed. The pathological examinations of the specimens of both patients revealedgrade 1 NET. In conclusion, even if patients undergoing LDH are healthy individuals, whole abdominal cavity should be gently palpated and all findings recorded after completing laparotomy. Suspected masses or lesions should be confirmed by frozen section examination. Such an approach would avert potential medicolegal issues. | Sami Akbulut Burak Isik Egemen Cicek Emine Samdanci Sezai Yilmaz | 2018 | World Journal of Hepatology2018,10,10: | 1 |
| 4 | Xanthogranulomatous appendicitis: A comprehensive literature review显示文摘BACKGROUND Xanthogranulomatous inflammation is characterized histologically by a collection of lipid-laden macrophages admixed with lymphocytes,plasma cells,neutrophils,and often multinucleated giant cells with or without cholesterol clefts.AIM To review the medical literature on xanthogranulomatous appendicitis(XGA).METHODS We present a patient with XGA and review published articles on XGA accessed via the PubMed,MEDLINE,Google Scholar,and Google databases.Keywords used were“appendix vermiformis,”“appendectomy,”“acute appendicitis,”and“XGA.”The search included articles published before May 2020,and the publication language was not restricted.The search included letters to the editor,case reports,review articles,original articles,and meeting presentations.Articles or abstracts containing adequate information about age,sex,clinical presentation,white blood cells,initial diagnosis,surgical approach,histopathological and immunohistochemical features of appendectomy specimens were included in the study.RESULTS A total of 29 articles involving 38 patients with XGA,were retrospectively analyzed.Twenty(52.6%)of the 38 patients,aged 3 to 78 years(median:34;IQR:31)were female,and the remaining 18(47.4%)were male.Twenty-five patients were diagnosed with acute appendicitis,ruptured appendicitis,or subacute appendicitis,and the remaining 13 patients underwent surgery for tumoral lesions of the ileocecal region.Twenty-two of the patients underwent urgent or semi-urgent surgery,and the remaining 16 patients underwent interval appendectomy.CONCLUSION Xanthogranulomatous inflammation rarely affects the appendix vermiformis.It is associated with significant diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas due to its variable presentation.It is often associated with interval appendectomies,and a significant number of patients require bowel resection due to the common presentation of a tumoral lesion.XGA is usually identified retrospectively on surgical pathology and has no unique features in preoperative diagnostic studies. | Sami Akbulut Khaled Demyati Cemalettin Koc Adem Tuncer Emrah Sahin Mehmet Ozcan Emine Samdanci | 2021 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery2021,13,1: | 0 |
| 5 | Comparison of clinical and histopathological features of patients who underwent incidental or emergency appendectomy显示文摘BACKGROUND Incidental appendectomy can be defined as the removal of a clinically normal appendix during another surgical procedure unrelated to appendicitis or other appendicular diseases.AIM To compare the demographic, biochemical, and histopathological features of the patients who underwent incidental and standard appendectomy.METHODS The demographic, biochemical, and histopathological data of 72 patients(Incidental App group) who underwent incidental appendectomy during living donor hepatectomy at our Liver Transplant Center between June 2009 and December 2016 were compared with data of 288 patients(Acute App group) who underwent appendectomy for presumed acute appendicitis. The Incidental App group was matched at random in a 1:4 ratio with the Acute App group in the same time frame. Appendectomy specimens of both groups were re-evaluated by two experienced pathologists.RESULTS Statistically significant differences were found between groups in terms of age(P= 0.044), white blood cell count(P < 0.001), neutrophil(P < 0.001), lymphocyte(P< 0.001), red cell distribution width(P = 0.036), mean corpuscular hemoglobin(P= 0.001), bilirubin(P = 0.002), appendix width(P < 0.001), and presence of acute appendicitis histopathologically(P < 0.001). However, no statistically significant differences were found between groups in terms of gender, platelet, mean platelet volume, mean corpuscular volume, platelet distribution width, appendix length. While the most common histopathological findings in the Incidental App group were normal appendix vermiformis(72.2%), fibrous obliteration(9.7%)and acute appendicitis(6.9%), the most common histopathological findings in the Acute App group were non-perforated acute appendicitis(62.8%), perforated appendicitis(16.7%), lymphoid hyperplasia(8.3%), and appendix vermiformis(6.3%).CONCLUSION Careful inspection of the entire abdominal cavity is useful for patients undergoing major abdominal surgery such as donor hepatectomy. We think that experience is parallel to the surgeon's foresight, and we should not hesitate to perform incidental appendectomy when | Sami Akbulut Cemalettin Koc Huseyin Kocaaslan Fatih Gonultas Emine Samdanci Saim Yologlu Sezai Yilmaz | 2019 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery2019,11,1: | 0 |
