Abstract
A 27-year-old male patient, applied to the emergency unit with complaints of high fever, nausea, vomiting, and hematuria. In his physical examination, fever was 38 °C with normal findings in all other systems. The laboratory values were as follows: urea 58 mg/dL, creatinine 2.4 mg/dL, white blood cell count 15.9K/μL (PNL: 79 %). In his urine analysis; +1 proteinuria and +3 hematuria were detected. Kidney biopsy was performed. Kidney biopsy interpreted in favor of IgA nephropathy. As the patient had tonic-clonic seizures, cranial CT examination was performed. In the cranial CT, there was a subdural effusion in the anterolateral area of the right cerebral hemisphere with the left shift in the midline secondary to the effusion. Empyema fluid, which was drained postoperatively, was cultured. In the direct examination of the empyema fluid, Gram positive cocci and abundant amount of PNLs were observed. There was no growth in the culture. Although the most commonly encountered agents for post-infectious glomerulonephritis are streptococcus infections, it has been reported that glomerulonephritis attacks may be rarely observed due to staphylococcus infections. Proliferative glomerulonephritis cases are rarely encountered conditions characterized by mesangial IgA accumulations secondary to staphylococcus infections.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Both CXCR-4 and COX-2 are biological markers that play a significant role in several neoplastic processes. We explored the differences in expression of these markers in certain subtypes of basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinomas in general. MATERIAL AND METHOD In this study, we investigated the differences between 38 patients with basal cell carcinoma (nodular, infiltrative and micro-nodular subtypes) and 24 patients with well-differentiated squamous cell carcinomas with respect to their depth of invasion, tumor location, age, and CXCR-4 and COX-2 expression. RESULTS Statistically, we found no significant difference between squamous cell carcinomas and basal cell carcinoma in terms of CXCR-4 and COX-2 expression; however, the degree of marker expression became stronger with increasing depth of invasion in both tumors. The expression of both markers was also higher in infiltrative type basal cell carcinoma compared to all the other subtypes. The results were statistically significant (p<0.05). Additionally, a significantly positive correlation also existed between COX2 and CXCR4 expression (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The degree of expression of CXCR-4 and COX-2 is related to invasiveness in both malignancies; thus, infiltrative type of basal cell carcinoma displays the highest degree of CXCR-4 and COX-2 expression among all the subtypes. Furthermore, our results indicate that these two biological markers may both be involved in the process of carcinogenesis and require investigation with further molecular and genetic studies in larger series.

Abstract
Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) of the breast is a benign lesion that can present as a palpable nodule or as an incidental finding in breast biopsies. The development of PASH is subject to hormonal influence and is most commonly seen in premenopausal woman. Imaging findings are indistinguishable from those of the more common type of fibroadenoma, and they are categorized as BIRADS type 3 lesions (probably benign lesions). Their benign condition and behavior compared with other similar cases, allows the recommendation that surgical excision be avoided, and the patients monitored with periodic follow-up. Here we report a case of PASH presenting in a 41-years-old woman who had breast mass which was sent for intra-operative frozen-section procedure by surgery to our pathology laboratory.

Abstract
Warthin's tumor is the second most common type of salivary gland tumor. Microscopically, Warthin's tumor displays a proliferative epithelial component and lymphoid stroma. Carcinomas arising from the epithelial component are well known, but malignant transformations of the lymphoid stroma are rare. When they do occur, they are most commonly B-cell type non-Hodgkin lymphomas. A 60-year-old male patient underwent surgical resection of a parotid mass. After superficial parotidectomy, microscopic examination indicated that the tumor was of epithelial components with basaloid and oncocytic columns of cells neighboring lymphoid components. In addition to the lymphoid follicles with distinct germinal centers, there were large, bizarre and extremely atypical neoplastic cells seen in the lymphoid component. Large neoplastic cells were diffusely CD20 and CD30 positive. The patient was diagnosed with "Warthin's tumor and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with expression of CD30." The histopathologic and clinical features are discussed along with a review of the literature.

Abstract
Background Because there may be interdepartmental differences in macroscopic sampling of cholecystectomy specimens, we aimed to investigate differences between the longitudinal sampling technique and our classical sampling technique in cholecystectomy specimens in which there was no obvious malignancy. Methods Six hundred eight cholecystectomy specimens that were collected between 2011 and 2012 were included in this study. The first group included 273 specimens for which one sample was taken from each of the fundus, body, and neck regions (our classical technique). The second group included 335 specimens for which samples taken from the neck region and lengthwise from the fundus toward the neck were placed together in one cassette (longitudinal sampling). The Pearson chi-square, Fisher exact, and ANOVA tests were used and differences were considered significant at p<.05. Results In the statistical analysis, although gallbladders in the first group were bigger, the average length of the samples taken in the second group was greater. Inflammatory cells, pyloric metaplasia, intestinal metaplasia, low grade dysplasia, and invasive carcinoma were seen more often in the second group. Conclusions In our study, the use of a longitudinal sampling technique enabled us to examine a longer mucosa and to detect more mucosal lesions than did our classical technique. Thus, longitudinal sampling can be an effective technique in detecting preinvasive lesions.

Abstract
Primary hyperoxaluria is a rare autosomal recessive disorder. Type 1 PH is the most common form and develops due to a defect in a liver specific enzyme the alanine aminotransferase enzyme. As a result of the enzyme deficiency, there is an overproduction of oxalate and excessive urinary excretion. Recurrent urolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis are the most important findings of the disorder and often at the beginning end-stage renal disease develops. This report presents a case backed up by literature of a patient with end stage renal failure and erythropoietin-resistant anaemia whose bone marrow biopsy showed crystal deposition which received delayed diagnosis of oxalosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal tubulointerstitial injury plays an important role in disease progression of IgAN. Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a stress protein released by tubular cells. NGAL is a promising biomarker of acute kidney injury. There is a growing literature suggesting that NGAL is also a marker of chronic kidney disease and severity. Our aim was to evaluate the prognostic value of NGAL staining in patients with IgAN. METHODS This retrospective study included all consecutive patients who underwent a renal biopsy at our center between January 2005 and December 2009. Forty-five patients with IgA nephritis were enrolled, and renal biopsy specimens of 29 patients were evaluated. We evaluated baseline age, sex, hypertension, serum creatinine, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), urine protein, NGAL staining, glomerulosclerosis, interstitial fibrosis, and extracapillary proliferation. The primary endpoint of this study was doubling of baseline serum creatinine and/or the onset of ESRD in the course of the study. At the end of the follow-up, patients whose estimated GFR (eGFR) was ≤15 mL/min/1.73 m(2) and/or baseline serum creatinine doubled, were defined as the progressor group. RESULTS Nineteen patients (65.5%) were NGAL positive and 10 patients (34.5%) were NGAL negative. Female gender and hypertension were associated with NGAL-positive staining. Urinary protein excretion and serum creatinine levels were more elevated in the NGAL-positive group, but the difference was not significant. We found NGAL-positive staining in major proportion in the progressor group (88.9%) than the non-progressor group (55%) (p = 0.076). CONCLUSION NGAL staining can be a new histological marker in IgAN progression.
