Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı akut apandisitte nötrofil lenfosit oranının (NLR) tanısal dağerini değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Apendektomi uygulanan 310 hasta çalışmamıza dahil edildi.Hastaların yaşları, cinsiyetleri, preoperatif beyaz küre, nötrofil yüzdesi, lenfosit yüzdesi ve NLR'leri, çekilmiş olan ultrasonografi (USG) ve patoloji sonuçları retrospektif olarak elde edildi. İstatistik analizde student t test, ki-kare testi ve olasılık oranları kullanıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmamıza appendektomi ameliyatı yapılan 310 hasta dahil edildi. Çalışmaya dahil olan hastaların 176'sı (%56,8) erkek idi ve erkek kadın oranı 1,3: 1 olarak tespit edildi. Hastaların ortalama yaşı 24,5±12,2 yıl olarak bulundu. Patoloji sonuçları incelendiğinde 54 hastanın inflamasyon bulgusu olmayan appendiks vermiformis, 14 hastanın (%5,5) perfore, 5 hastanın(%2,0) gangranöz akut appendisit, 1'er hastanın karsinoid ve müsinöz kistadenom olarak rapor edildiğini görüldü. Akut appendisit çıkan hastalarda NLR ortalama değeri 7,0±5,6 idi. NLR'nin yüksek olması patolojik olarak akut appendisit arasında istatistiksel anlamlı ilişki olduğu görüldü (p Sonuç: Akut appendisit tanısında iltihabi belirteç olan NLR kullanılabilir bir parametredir. Akut appendisit tanısında beyaz küreden daha yüksek oranlarda yüksek tespit edilse de çok merkezli geniş çalışmalarla NLR'nin tanı koyma gücü değerlendirilmelidir.
Anaplastic carcinoma of the pancreas (ACP) is a very rare histologic subtype of pancreatic cancer and associated with more aggressive and poor prognosis than pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. We aimed to review this rare entity and discuss its clinical features, diagnosis and therapy. We presented a case of a 63-year-old male patient that diagnosed as ACP with cyst formation at a tertiary medical center with a detailed review of the current medical literature. We performed pancreaticoduodenectomy operation with lymph node dissection after diagnosis. Any complication after surgery was not observed. Anaplastic pancreas carcinomas are associated with poor survival when compared to invasive ductal adenocarcinomas. Clinical, radiological, laboratory and histological features may be helpful in making differential diagnosis and should be kept in mind in the diagnosis of this rare pancreatic malignancy.
Gastric duplication cysts (GDCs) are uncommon developmental anomalies found primarily in children, being rarely seen in adults. Duplications can occur anywhere in the intestinal tract from the mouth to the anus. Accurate diagnosis of cysts before resection is difficult even using the most advanced imaging techniques. In this report, we present and discuss a case of GDC in a 25-year-old man treated laparoscopically. Patient admitted to our department with complaints of epigastric pain and swelling. Magnetic resonance imaging performed for accurate characterisation showed a 4 cm × 4.5 cm cystic lesion, with heterogeneous signal intensity on T2-weighted images, located in the posterior wall of the stomach. Pre-operative differential diagnosis including gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) was made according to radiological findings. Patient underwent surgery and cyst resected laparoscopically. Histopathological examination suggesting duplication cyst. GDC can easily be mistaken for a GIST, and the clinician as well as radiologist must maintain a high degree of suspicion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
