Publication Open Access Langerhans cell histiocytosis located in the spheno-orbital bone and the pons: Illustrative case(2023-07-01) ÇEKİÇ, EFECAN; KARAGÖZ, AHMET; SAKAR, MUSTAFA; KAÇAR, KADRİYE EBRU; BOZKURT, SÜHEYLA; DAĞÇINAR, ADNAN; ÇEKİÇ E., Karagoz A., SAKAR M., Senay R. E., AKAR K. E., BOZKURT S., DAĞÇINAR A.BACKGROUND This is a case of aggressive Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) with an atypical intracranial location. OBSERVATIONS In this report, the authors present the diagnosis and treatment of a 12-year-old male patient diagnosed with LCH. The patient was admitted to the emergency department with left-sided facial palsy, and a solid lesion with mass effect in the pons was found. A biopsy was performed via suboccipital craniotomy, and the diagnosis was LCH. A chemotherapy regimen was started since the LCH sample was the resistant type. The patient showed improvement in his neurological deficit following treatment. LESSONS This rare localized and aggressive case’s diagnosis process and treatment choices may apply to future cases. https://thejns.org/doi/abs/10.3171/CASE22367.Publication Metadata only Challenges in the management of a 7 years old child with thyrotropin-secreting pituitary adenoma and the review of the literature(2023-01-01) KIRKGÖZ, TARIK; GÜRPINAR TOSUN, BUŞRA; ELTAN, MEHMET; HALİLOĞLU, BELMA; KAYGUSUZ, SARE BETÜL; SEVEN MENEVŞE, TUBA; BOZKURT, SÜHEYLA; ÖNEŞ, TUNÇ; GÜRAN, TÜLAY; DAĞÇINAR, ADNAN; BEREKET, ABDULLAH; DEMİRCİOĞLU, SERAP; KIRKGÖZ T., Abali S., Seker A., GÜRPINAR TOSUN B., ELTAN M., Helvacioglu D., HALİLOĞLU B., KAYGUSUZ S. B., Yavas Abali Z., SEVEN MENEVŞE T., et al.Introduction: Thyrotropin-producing pituitary adenoma (TSHoma) is a very rare disease, representing less than 1% of the pituitary tumours, present with elevated thyroid hormones and normal/high TSH concentrations. Case Presentation: A 7-year-old boy with nervousness was referred by his psychiatrist for elevated free T4, T3 and TSH levels. Initial evaluation revealed an elevated -subunit.Pituitary MRI demonstrated a macroadenoma. The patient underwent a trans-sphenoidal tumour resection (TSS) which showed positive immunohistochemical staining for TSH, growth hormone, and prolactin in tumoral tissue. Euthyroidism was achieved for one year after TSS, then, recurrence of tumour with elevated TSH and thyroid hormone levels necessitated a re-operation with TSS followed by gamma-knife radiosurgery. The euthyroid state was achieved and lasted for 2.5 years this time, but, due to the recurrence, medical treatment had been commenced with cabergoline and octreotide. Euthyroidism was maintained for the last 4 years on monthly octreotide treatment. A repeat MRI demonstrated no pituitary mass but a mass in the sphenoidal sinus had been detected. Removal of this mass by surgery did not achieve euthyroidism. 68Ga-DOTA-TATE PET/CT showed residual tissue extending from the pituitary region to the sphenoid sinus.The patient\"s bone age was advanced 2 years at diagnosis which became 4 years in one year after the diagnosis and remained so throughout follow-up, leading to a final height of -3.3 SDS below his target height at the age of 16 years. Conclusion: The diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of TSHomas are challenging and short stature due to accelerated bone maturation is a complication of paediatric TSHomas.Publication Metadata only Significance of H3K27M mutation with specific histomorphological features and associated molecular alterations in pediatric high-grade glial tumors(SPRINGER, 2018) DAĞÇINAR, ADNAN; Bozkurt, Suheyla Uyar; Dagcinar, A.; Tanrikulu, B.; Comunoglu, N.; Meydan, B. C.; Ozek, M.; Oz, B.Pediatric high-grade gliomas (pHGGs) constitute almost 15% of all childhood brain tumors. Recurrent mutations such as H3K27M mutation in H3F3A and HIST1H3B genes encoding histone H3 and its variants were identified in approximately 30% of pediatric glioblastomas. This study aimed to ascertain the morphological and molecular characteristics of pHGGs with H3K27M mutation. In total, 61 cases of pHGGs (anaplastic astrocytoma, 12; glioblastomas, 49) from four university hospitals were studied. The histomorphological features were examined and immunohistochemistry was performed to evaluate the mutation status of H3K27M, ATRX, IDH1, BRAF V600E, and p53 genes. The study comprised 25 females and 36 males (age range, 1-18 years) with a clinical follow-up of up to 108 months. From the total, 31 patients were positive for H3K27M mutation located in the midline, mostly in the pons and thalamus. H3K27M mutation was commonly associated with ATRX loss (32.3%) and p53 (74.2%) immunoreactivity with a co-expression rate of 25.8%. While IDH1 mutation was not detected in pHGGs with H3K27M mutation, BRAFV600E mutation was rarely observed. Among the various histomorphological features, increased number of mitosis, increased Ki-67 proliferation index, and palisading and geographical necrosis along with small cell patterns were significantly associated with the H3K27M wild-type tumors. Focal infarct-like necrosis and pilomyxoid morphology was significantly associated with these tumors. H3K27M mutation occurs exclusively in pHGGs arising from the midline and presents with varied histomorphological features ranging from low-grade pilomyxoid astrocytoma to highly pleomorphic glioblastoma along with ATRX loss and p53 mutations.Publication Metadata only Cerebral Erdheim-Chester Disease Mimicking High-Grade Glial Tumor: A Case Report(KARGER, 2013) DAĞÇINAR, ADNAN; Eksi, Murat Sakir; Otluoglu, Gulden Demirci; Bozkurt, Suheyla Uyar; Sav, Aydin; Bayri, Yasar; Dagcinar, AdnanErdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a non-Langerhans histiocytosis. It may present in every organ in the body, but isolated central nervous system involvement, especially a supratentorial intra-axial location, is extremely rare. We present a case of ECD of supratentorial intra-axial origin and discuss the clinical presentation, diagnosis and management strategies. (C) 2014 S. Karger AG, Basel
