    Splenic Hamartoma
    Nalbant, OAK; Nese, N; Kahya, M; Isisag, A
    Splenic hamartoma is a rare, benign lesion of the spleen requiring differential diagnosis. A 60-year-old male patient referred to the hospital with epigastric pain. Abdominal computed tomography revealed a mass in the spleen and multiple lymphadenopathies at the posterior wall of the stomach. The patient underwent splenectomy for diagnostic purposes. A pink to red, solid, well circumscribed tumoral lesion with a greatest diameter of 4.5 cm was observed on the cut surface of the splenectomy specimen in addition to ten other, not well circumscribed, dark red, solid tumoral lesions measuring between 0,3-1 cm in greatest diameter. All of the lesions were diagnosed as splenic hamartoma. As splenic hamartoma is a rare lesion and needs to be di + erentiated from other benign tumoral lesions of the spleen, this case is found worth to be presented.

    Primary echinococcal cyst in the axillary region
    Ozsoy, M; Keles, C; Kahya, M; Keles, G
    Introduction: Human hydatid disease is a parasitic infection caused by the larval form of Echinococcus granulosus. It has worldwide distribution and is endemic in many countries, especially the Mediterranean region. It most commonly affects the liver and lungs although multi-organ involvement has been observed in 20-30% of patients. Case report: A 45-year-old woman presented to a gynaecologist because of a mass in the axillary region. Her mother and her two sisters were undergoing treatment for breast cancer. In her examination, a hard, semi-mobile, painless mass was found that was approximately 3 cm in diameter. Axillary ultrasonography showed lymphadenopathy. No abnormality was found in mammographic examination of either breast, or in abdominal ultrasonography and chest X-ray. Occult breast cancer was suspected but when the mass was excised for pathological examination the biopsy showed a hydatid cyst with germinative membranes. Subsequent lung, abdomen and brain tomography scans, whole body bone scintigraphy and hydatid serology, including indirect haemagglutination and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, were negative. For these reasons an isolated axillary hydatid cyst was diagnosed. Conclusion: Parasitic cysts should be considered in endemic areas in patients presenting with a soft tissue mass in the axillary region. Imaging methods should be planned to include this possibility.
