- PublicationOpen AccessJejunogastric intussusception: a rare complication of gastric surgery.(2013-01-01) CIPE, G; Malya, FATMA ÜMİT; HASBAHCECI, M; ERSOY, YELİZ EMİNE; KARATEPE, O; MUSLUMANOGLU, M; MALYA, FATMA ÜMİT; ERSOY, YELIZ EMINEJejunogastric intussusception is a rare complication of gastric surgery. It usually presents with severe epigastric pain, vomiting, and hematemesis. A history of gastric surgery can help in making an accurate and early diagnosis which calls forth an urgent surgical intervention. Only reduction or resection with revision of the previously performed anastomosis is the choice which is decided according to the operative findings. We present a case of JGI in a patient with a history of Billroth II operation diagnosed by computed tomography. At emergent laparotomy, an efferent loop type JGI was found. Due to necrosis, resection of the intussuscepted bowel with Roux-en-Y anastomosis was performed. Postoperative recovery was uneventful.
- PublicationOpen AccessThe role of PET and MRI in evaluating the feasibility of skin-sparing mastectomy following neoadjuvant therapy.(2018-02-01) MALYA, FATMA ÜMİT; KADIOGLU, HÜSEYİN; BEKTASOGLU, HÜSEYİN KAZIM; Gucin, ZÜHAL; YILDIZ, S; GUZEL, MEHMET; ERDOGAN, EZGİ BAŞAK; YUCEL, S; ERSOY, YELİZ EMİNE; MALYA, FATMA ÜMİT; KADIOĞLU, HÜSEYİN; BEKTAŞOĞLU, HÜSEYİN KAZIM; GÜCİN, ZÜHAL; YILDIZ, ŞEYMA; GÜZEL, MEHMET; ERDOĞAN, EZGİ BAŞAK; ERSOY, YELIZ EMINEAbstract Objective: To investigate the role of positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in evaluating the feasibility of skin-sparing mastectomy in patients with locally-advanced breast cancer (LABC) who will undergo neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) by evaluating the sensitivity and specificity of PET and MRI compared with skin biopsy results before and after NAC treatment. Methods: Patients with LABC who were treated with NAC between November 2013 and November 2015 were included in this study. Demographic, clinical, radiological and histopathological features of the patients were recorded. Results: A total of 30 patients were included in the study with a mean age of 52.6 years (range, 35– 70 years). Sensitivity and specificity for detecting skin involvement in LABC was 100%/10% (62%/ 85%) with MRI and 60%/80% (12%/92%) with PET before (after) NAC, respectively. When radiological skin involvement was assessed in relation to the final histopathological results, the preNAC PET results and histopathological skin involvement were not significantly different; and there was no difference between postNAC MRI and histopathological skin involvement. Conclusions: As preNAC PET and postNAC MRI more accurately determined skin involvement, it might be possible to use these two radiological evaluation methods together to assess patient suitability for skin-sparing mastectomy in selected patients.
- PublicationOpen AccessUse of peritoneal washing cytology for the detection of free peritoneal cancer cells before and after surgical treatment of gastric adenocarcinoma(2018-10-01) HASBAHCECI, Mustafa; Akcakaya, ADEM; Guler, BERİL; Kunduz, ENVER; Malya, FATMA ÜMİT; Muslumanoglu, Mahmut; AKÇAKAYA, ADEM; GÜLER, BERIL; KUNDUZ, ENVER; MALYA, FATMA ÜMİTAim: Cytological detection of peritoneal-free gastric cancer cells is considered as the gold standard with variable sensitivity. Seeding of cancer cells after radical surgery for gastric cancer is a controversial issue. In this study, it was aimed to detect the rate of positive peritoneal washing cytology and the incidence of spreading of tumor cells after radical surgery. Materials and methods: Patients with pathologically proven and surgically treated gastric adenocarcinoma were enrolled. Three peritoneal washing samples were examined cytologically: at the beginning, after completion of resection, and before closure of the abdomen. Identification of peritoneal-free gastric cancer cells was regarded as the main outcome. Results: Thirty-four patients with a mean age of 60.7 ± 12 years were enrolled. T3 and N0 were the most common stages seen in 16 (47%) and 12 patients (35.3%), respectively. There were two positive results (5.9%) as the first peritoneal sample. Considering T3- or N-positive patients, the incidence increased to 9.1%. There was no conversion of negative to positive cytology. Cytological positivity remained only in one case (2.9%) after the second and the third peritoneal samples. Conclusion: Rate of positive peritoneal washing cytology in patients with gastric cancer is influenced by clinicopathological findings and the technique used. Use of cytology alone is thought to be failed to detect free cancers cells within the peritoneal cavity.
- PublicationOpen AccessCo-existence of acute appendicitis and inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the small intestine: A case report(2015-09-01) Unver, NURCAN; Coban, GANİME; ONARAN, Oyku Izel; ARSLAN, ADNAN; Malya, FATMA ÜMİT; HASBAHCECI, Mustafa; ÜNVER, NURCAN; ÇOBAN, GANİME; KUNDUZ, ENVER; ARSLAN, ADNAN; MALYA, FATMA ÜMİTIntroduction: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor as a rare neoplastic lesion is seen most commonly in the pulmonary system. Beside the presence of limited number of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors of the gastrointestinal tract in the literature, co-existence with acute appendicitis has not been reported before. Presentation of case: A 27-year-old woman admitted to emergency department with acute abdominal pain at the right lower quadrant. The initial diagnosis was as acute appendicitis. Intraoperatively, a mass with a diameter of almost 5 cm originated from the distal ileal segments neighboring the appendix was seen. The patient was managed by segmental resection of the small intestine including the mass with appendectomy. Histologically, there were bundles of spindle cells accompanied by lymphoplasmocytic infiltration. The immunohistochemical studies showed that tumor cells were positive for smooth muscle actin, vimentin, perinuclear activity for anaplastic lymphoma kinase and CD 68. The final pathologic diagnosis was inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor. Discussion: Concomitant resection of tumoral lesions detected in the neighbor intestinal segments during appendectomy should be considered to diagnose and treat. For the diagnosis of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, immunohistochemistry pattern including positivity for actin, vimentin, CD 68 and anaplastic lymphoma kinase plays a crucial role. Therefore, detailed immunohistochemistry analysis should be performed in suspicious cases. Conclusion: Coexistence of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor located in the gastrointestinal system with acute appendicitis is a rare event. Complete surgical excision should be regarded as the mainstay of the treatment. Long-term follow up with serial imaging techniques is recommended.
- PublicationOpen AccessThe correlation between breast cancer and urinary iodine excretion levels(2018-02-01) Malya, FATMA ÜMİT; Kadioglu, HÜSEYİN; Hasbahçeci, Mustafa; Dolay, KEMAL; Guzel, MEHMET; Ersoy, YELİZ EMİNE; MALYA, FATMA ÜMİT; KADIOĞLU, HÜSEYİN; DOLAY, KEMAL; GÜZEL, MEHMET; ERSOY, YELIZ EMINEObjective To compare urinary iodine excretion levels in patients with breast cancer and control subjects. Methods In this prospective pilot study, patients with breast cancer and normal controls were recruited. Age and menopausal status were recorded. Levels of serum thyroid-stimulating hormone, blood urea nitrogen and creatinine and urine iodine concentration (UIC) were measured. UIC levels were divided into three categories: low (<100 µg/l), normal (100-200 µg/l) or high (>200 µg/l). Results A total of 24 patients with breast cancer and 48 controls were included in the study. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups with regard to thyroid-stimulating hormone, blood urea nitrogen or creatinine levels. When considered overall, there was no statistical difference in UIC between patients and controls. However, comparisons within each category (low, normal or high UIC) showed a significantly higher percentage of patients with breast cancer had a high UIC compared with controls. Conclusions A high UIC was seen in a significantly higher percentage of patients with breast cancer than controls. UIC may have a role as a marker for breast cancer screening. Further studies evaluating UIC and iodine utilization in patients with breast cancer are warranted.
- PublicationOpen AccessUse of serum and peritoneal CEA and CA19-9 in prediction of peritoneal dissemination and survival of gastric adenocarcinoma patients: are they prognostic factors?(2018-04-01) HASBAHCECI, MUSTAFA; Malya, FATMA ÜMİT; Kunduz, ENVER; Guzel, MEHMET; Unver, NURCAN; Akcakaya, ADEM; MALYA, FATMA ÜMİT; KUNDUZ, ENVER; GÜZEL, MEHMET; ÜNVER, NURCAN; AKÇAKAYA, ADEMINTRODUCTION To evaluate the impact of serum and peritoneal levels of tumour markers on peritoneal carcinomatosis and survival in gastric adenocarcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with gastric adenocarcinoma were evaluated with regard to serum and peritoneal carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and CA19-9. Numeric values and groupings based on serum and peritoneal cutoff values were used. Development of peritoneal carcinomatosis, including positive washing cytology, was regarded as main outcome. Gastric cancer outcomes as disease free and overall survival were analysed. RESULTS There were 67 patients with a mean age of 60 ± 11 years. Positive peritoneal washing cytology was significantly associated with serum CA19-9 and high serum CA 19–9 group (P = 0.033 and P = 0.011, respectively). High peritoneal CEA was shown to be significantly associated with peritoneal carcinomatosis (P = 0.032). After a median follow up of 17 months, 48 patients (71.7%) were alive. Patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis showed significant poorer prognosis as shown by overall survival rate of 28.6%. Only serum CEA was significantly associated with lower disease free and overall survival (P = 0.002 and P = 0.001, respectively). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION Serum CEA is shown to be significantly associated with poor prognosis for gastric cancer patients. Serum level of CA19-9 and high peritoneal CEA levels are significant predictors for positive peritoneal washing cytology and the development of peritoneal carcinomatosis, respectively. Therefore, the possible impact of serum and peritoneal tumor markers especially on the staging and prognosis of gastric cancer remains to be clarified by future studies.
- PublicationOpen AccessGlomus tumor of the stomach(2018-03-01) YILDIZ, PELİN; GÜCİN, ZÜHAL; ARICI, DİLEK SEMA; MALYA, FATMA ÜMİT; Baysal, Birol; YILDIZ, PELİN; GÜCİN, ZÜHAL; ARICI, DILEK SEMA; MALYA, FATMA ÜMİTGlomus tumor is a rare benign mesenchymal neoplasm derived from the glomus body, an arteriovenous shunt mainly located in dermis and subcutis. The most common localization of this tumor is extremities, especially nailbed. Glomus tumor in the gastrointestinal system is a rare condition. Here we report a gastric glomus tumor to raise awareness of this tumor and show the difficulties in the diagnosis.
- PublicationOpen AccessThe impact of a percutaneous cholecystostomy catheter in situ until the time of cholecystectomy on the development of recurrent acute cholecystitis: a historical cohort study(2018-01-01) HASBAHCECI, Mustafa; CENGİZ, Merve Busra; Malya, FATMA ÜMİT; Kunduz, Enver; Memmi, Naim; MALYA, FATMA ÜMİT; KUNDUZ, ENVERBackground: the optimal duration of percutaneous cholecystostomy in patients with acute cholecystitis is unknown. Methods: this study was a retrospective analysis of patients (age ≥ 18 years) who underwent percutaneous cholecystostomy due to acute calculous cholecystitis. Patients were grouped according to treatment modality: percutaneous cholecystostomy as a definitive treatment (group 1), subsequent surgical treatment after the removal of the catheter (group 2) and those remaining in situ (group 3). The development of gallstone-related complications was the main outcome. Results: there were 24 females (43.6%) and 31 males (56.4%) included in the study with a mean age of 64.8 ± 15.9 years. There were 16 (29.1%), 19 (34.5%) and 20 (36.4%) patients in groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The catheter withdrawal time for group 1 and group 2 was 18.2 ± 6.9 and 20.7 ± 13.4 days, respectively. Surgical treatment was performed after a mean of 85.4 ± 93.5 days following catheter removal in group 2 and a mean of 64 ± 32.5 days while the PC tube was in place in group 3. There were one (6.3%) and two cases of a recurrence (10.5%) in groups 1 and 2, respectively. Two patients developed choledocholithiasis (10%) in group 3. Conclusion: maintaining percutaneous cholecystostomy tubes in place until the time of surgery in surgically fit patients may help to prevent a recurrence after acute calculous cholecystitis.
- PublicationOpen AccessA rare cause of obstructive defecation in a 29-year-old woman: Ileo-colo-colonic intussusception treated by subtotal colectomy with posterior rectopexy(2018-12-01) Kunduz, ENVER; Malya, FATMA ÜMİT; Mehdi, Elnur; HASBAHCECI, Mustafa; KUNDUZ, ENVER; MALYA, FATMA ÜMİTAdult intussusception is a rare clinical condition. In majority of adult cases, there is an underlying cause such as polyps or colon cancers. In the present study, a 29-year-old woman with intermittent and colicky abdominal pain, constipation, and painful defecation, accompanied with distention and sense of rectal fullness, was evaluated with computed tomography. Ileo-colo-colic intussusception was determined. Subtotal colectomy with posterior rectopexy was performed. After the surgery, she was doing well at 13-month follow-up.
