    Coexistence of Glomangioma and yolk sac tumour in a child: A case report
    (Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2014) Kose D.; Toy H.; Gunel E.; Caliskan U.; Koksal Y.
    Glomus tumours (GTs) primarily arise from glomus bodies that are located in the dermis layer of skin. However, they can be encountered ectopically in most parts of the body. As a result of researches done in a 17-month-old male patient who prssented to us with complaint of an increasingly growing swelling, he was diagnosed with a yolk sac tumour. Chemotherapy was started and then, he was operated. GT was found inside the tumoural mass. Our patient, who is the first case according to our knowledge, where the concurrence of yolk sac and glomus tumours was reported, has been discussed in the light of literature.

    Giant mature adrenal cystic teratoma in an infant
    (2013) Ciftci I.; Cihan T.; Koksal Y.; Ugras S.; Erol C.
    Introduction: Teratomas are derived from embryonic tissues that are typically found in the gonadal and sacrococcygeal regions of adults and children. Primary teratomas in the retroperitoneum are very rare in infant and primary adrenal teratomas are extremely rare. Early diagnosis and surgical resection are important for effective treatment. Case report: We report here the case of a histologically unusual adrenal teratomas detected on computed tomography during the workup of abdominal distension 3-mounth-old male infant. The evaluation and treatment of this condition and a review of the literature are included in this paper. © AVICENA 2013.

    Neuroblastoma in an infant with Down’s syndrome [Neuroblastoma in un bambino con sindrome di Down]
    (Mattioli 1885 S.p.A., 2014) Kose D.; Toy H.; Yıldırım M.S.; Yavuz H.; Koksal Y.
    Aim: In this study we show that Down’s syndrome may be accompanied by neuroblastoma. Patients and methods: A 15-month-old female infant with Down’s syndrome and congenital hypothyroidism was admitted to our hospital with abdominal distension. Abdomen ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT) revealed right abdominal mass. The level of urinary homovanillic acid was 498.2 mg/24 h (N: 2-7.4 mg/24 h), and the serum neuron specific enolase (NSE) level was 370 ng/mL (N: 4.7-17 ng/mL). Karyotyping revealed 47 XX+21 chromosome, consistent with the diagnosis of Down’s syndrome. Bone marrow aspirates revealed metastatic neuroblastoma. On the basis of these findings, the patient was diagnosed with stage IV neuroblastoma. The patient was treated as stage IV neuroblastoma according to our national neuroblastoma protocol which included 4 cycles of 2 different multidrug regimens and then the mass was totally removed. After the operation, two cycles of chemotherapy were administered. However, the patient died of pneumonia. Results: We here describe a case of Down’s syndrome associated with neuroblastoma. Conclusions: Neuroblastoma in Down’s syndrome is extremely rare. Although children with Down’s syndrome are protected by the S-100 b gene on chromosome 21, neuroblastoma can be seen in Down’s syndrome. © Mattioli 1885.
