    Glomus Tumor of the Stomach: Case Report
    Nalbant, OAK; Temiz, P; Vural, S; Keles, MC
    Glomus tumors are benign, solitary neoplasms originating from modified smooth muscle cells of the glomus body. These tumors are rare in the gastrointestinal system. We present a glomus tumor that arose in the antrum of a 43-year-old female. During laparoscopic cholecystectomy for cholelithiasis, an antral submucosal tumor was found incidentally and total excision with wedge resection was performed. Histopathological and immunohistochemical features of this tumor were similar to those of a glomus tumor in any localization. In this report, we discuss the differential diagnosis of gastric glomus tumor.

    METASTATIC MALIGNANT MELANOMA OF THE BREAST: A CASE REPORT
    Nalbant, OA; Vural, S; Keles, MC; Nalbant, E; Kandiloglu, AR
    Metastasis of a malignant melanoma or any other type of tumour to the breast is rarely seen. A 70-year-old female patient came to the breast clinic due to a mass in her right breast. The case did not have any known history of malignincy. After the initial incisional biopsy, a right modified radical mastectomy and axillary lymph node dissection were performed. On the cut surface, a yellow to pink, solid and well-circumscribed tumoural lesion with a maximum diameter of 8 cm was observed. Given its histopathological and immunohistochemical attributes, the case was diagnosed as metastatic malign melanoma involving breast and ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes. This case was determined to be worthy of presentation due to the fact that the histological diagnosis of metastatic tumours can be more difficult than of primary breast cancers and that metastasis of malignant melanoma to breast is rarely seen.
