    Abscess in adenomyosis mimicking a malignancy in a 54-year-old woman
    (2003) Erguvan R.; Meydanli M.M.; Alkan A.; Edali M.N.; Gokce H.; Kafkasli A.
    Background: Although there are a few reports describing abscess formation in endometriotic foci no report of abscess formation arising de novo within adenomyosis appears in the literature. Preoperative diagnosis of adenomyosis is frequently difficult because of non-specific signs and symptoms. Synchronous pelvic pathologies such as leiomyoma, endometrial polyp, endometrial hyperplasia, as well as endometrial cancer may cause differential diagnostic problems. Case: A 54-year-old postmenopausal woman complaining of inguinal pain, nightsweats and hot flashes is presented. Radiologic examinations of the pelvis revealed a 95 x 85 mm leiomyoma-like lesion including a 53 x 43 mm cystic space and 9 x 6 mm papillary formation within the uterus raising clinical suspicion of malignancy. A total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy were performed accompanied by a frozen section diagnosis. The frozen section revealed an abscess formation arising in a focus of adenomyosis. The postoperative period of the patient was uneventful. Conclusion: The present case, to our knowledge, is the first report representing abscess formation in adenomyosis. Abscess arising within adenomyosis can strongly raise the suspicion of endometrial cancer, particularly if the patient is postmenopausal. If endometrial cancer cannot be ruled out with definitive histopathological diagnosis in the preoperative period, a frozen section becomes mandatory during surgical intervention.

    A giant solitary schwannoma of the arm mimicking cyst hydatid
    (2006) Ertem K.; Altinok M.T.; Gokce H.; Kirimlioglu H.
    We present a 77-year-old female with a size of 9.5×9×7 cm 3 giant schwannoma of musculocutaneous nerve volarly located in midarm, which was misdiagnosed as cyst hydatid on ultrasonographic and magnetic resonance image examination. There was not any neurologic sequele after the operation. In case of the similarity of their clinical and radiological findings, schwannoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of hydatid cysts especially in endemic countries. © Springer-Verlag 2006.
