Objective: The aim was to review the hormonal status, treatment and histopathological diagnosis of patients admitted to our endocrinology outpatient clinic with the diagnosis of adrenal incidentaloma.

Material and Methods:Between 2015-2018, 217 patients with adrenal incidentaloma who were admitted to the endocrinology outpatient clinic were included in the study. 1 mg overnight dexamethasone suppression test (DST), 24 hour urine free cortisol, 24-hour urine methanephrine and normetanephrine levels were evaluated in all patients.Patients who also have hypertension or hypokalemiawere screened for the plasma aldosterone/renin activity ratio. CT or MRI imaging properties of adrenal incidentalomas were screened.

Results: In the evaluation of cases; 180 (83%) of the masses were evaluated as non-functional and 37 (17%) as functional. Of the 37 patients evaluated as having functional adrenal mass; 10 (4.6%) pheochromocytoma, 5 (2.3%) Cushing's syndrome, 9 (4.1%) subclinical Cushing’s syndrome and 13 (6%) primary hyperaldesteronism were detected. In 180 patients who were evaluated as having non-functional adrenal mass; metastatic disease in 7 (3 non-small cell lung cancer, 1 breast cancer, 1 prostate carcinoma and 2 unknown primary cancer), myelolipoma in 4, ganglioneuroma in 1, hydatid cyst in 1, adrenocortical carcinoma in 2 patients were detected.

Conclusion: According to the results of this study, it is not uncommon for adrenal incidentalomas to be functional. It may be malignant in some cases. For this reason, adrenal incidentaloma is a condition that should be examined both in terms of
functionality and malignancy potential.

\r\n Synesthesia is a phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory system leads to a different experience in a second sensory system. There is more than sixty types of Synesthesia, like grapheme-color, sound-color (chromesthesia), sound-movement, sound-flavor, color- flavor etc. have been identified so far. Synesthesia is seen in 4% in general population. The grapheme-color and sound-color Synesthesia are the most common types. A case is discussed that has auditory-visual and smell-color types Synesthesia started at 6 yo but currently she has had fewer symptoms than before. An active psychiatric pathology is not found in clinical evaluation.  There is neither significant patient history nor family history for psychiatric disorders other than a younger sister who has similar symptoms. She has not experienced any seizures or trauma. Her MRI and EEG were within normal limits. Functional MR imaging showed greater activation in the cerebral hemisphere that indicate lateralization. Since there is a positive familial history, we might consider genetic predispositions.

Aim: Nearly 30% of the patients with cleft palate need another surgery for velopharyngeal insufficiency. While
preoperative radiologic evaluation is necessary for planning, postoperative evaluation is also so important. In
this study, we plan to share our experience about evaluation of the velopharynx with dynamic MRI at patients
who were operated oving for velopharyngeal insuf ficiency.
Patients and Methods: The study included seventeen patients who were presented with velopharyngeal
insufficieny and we applied dynamic MRI for postoperative evaluation between April 2014 and May 2020.
Pharyngeal flap was applied for 7, posterior augmentation was performed for 7 (2 costal cartilaginous, 5 fat
graft) and myomucosal repair was done for 3 patients with submucosal cleft. Dynamic MRI were obtained
preoperatively and postoperatively at 3rd month. Postoperative results were evaluated with dynamic MRI.
Results: The study included seventeen patients, with an age range of 9-29 (mean 13± 2.5), 11 women (65%),
and 6 men (35%). Posterior wall located grafts were found at the second cervical vertebra and viable. While
there was no nasal air escape in superior pharyngeal flap applied patients at sagittal plane, in axial dynamic
images, gap was detected which is all essential for airway and must be obtained. The levator muscle direction
was observe normal postoperatively at patients with submucous clef. Nasal air escape area was decreased
in both methods significantly comparing with preoperative measu rement (p<0.05)
Conclusion: Because of the three-dimensional and dynamic structure of the velopharynx, it must be evaluated
in both planes and dynamic. Although there are many techniques for this purpose, none of them is ideal or
objective. Dynamic MRI can be used for postoperative follow-up as it is used for preoperative planning.
Evaluation of the pharyngeal flap atrophy , grafts and also gap size are provided with qualitative values .

Introduction: Our aim is to evaluate the cardiac involvement of Neurofibromatosis type 1  patients in our region and to compare them with other clinical findings. In this study, we wanted to show the frequency and variety of cardiac involvement.

Material and Methods: Patients diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis type 1  in Hatay Mustafa Kemal University Medical Faculty Pediatric Neurology Clinic between 01/09/2019 and 01/09/2020 were included in the study. The patients included in the study were examined by a Pediatric Cardiology Specialist, and echocardiography and electrocardiography were taken. Demographic information, examination findings, brain magnetic resonance images were collected from the files of the patients. Electrocardiography and echocardiography were examined and recorded by the Pediatric Cardiology Specialist.

Results: We accepted 17 patients from our center to the study. Six patients (35.3%) were diagnosed with sporadic Neurofibromatosis type 1, while 11 patients (64.7%) had familial Neurofibromatosis type 1. All of our patients had cafe au late spots on the skin. In addition, 10 (58.8%) patients also had axillary and / or inguinal freckles. We detected optic glioma in 3 of our patients with ocular involvement, and lish nodules in 3 of them with papillary edema. When we looked at central nervous system involvement, we encountered various involvements in brain MRIs of 8 (47%) patients. In our cardiac examination, we found QT length in 1 patient’s electrocardiography. In the echocardiography we performed for the detection of cardiac structural pathologies, we detected nodular appearance compatible with subendocardial neurofibroma in 3 patients, mitral insufficiency in 3 patients, patent foramen ovale in 1 patient, atrial septal defect in 1 patient, and bicuspid aorta in 1 patient.

Discussion: In our study, unlike the literature, subendocardial nodular hyperechogenic appearance was present in 3 patients. Although these findings are quite rare, subendocardial nodular hyperechogenic images in 3 of our 17 patients suggest that this pathology may be more common. In addition, one of our patients had a long QT. As far as we know, this is the first case of Neurofibromatosis type 1 and Long QT syndrome. In conclussion; Cardiac involvement in patients with Neurofibromatosis type 1 could more common than mentioned in the literature.

Objective: Pap smear test is a commonly used and effective screening method in detection of cervical cancer and its precursor lesions. There is a very limited number of studies on use of Pap smears in diagnosis of the endometrial carcinomas. We have aimed to investigate the incidence rate of atypical endometrial cells in Pap smears of the patients diagnosed with endometrial carcinoma and the correlation between these cells and clinicopathological parameters.

Material and methods: In this study, patients who were diagnosed with endometrial carcinoma and who had smear sampling between January 2015 and September 2017 were examined retrospectively. Histological type, nuclear grade and Pap smear results of endometrial carcinoma cases were evaluated.

Results: Pap smear sampling was concurrently performed in 59 of the 97 patients diagnosed with endometrial carcinoma. The ages of the patients who underwent smear sampling ranged between 42 and 82 years (mean 57.43±9.08 years). The menopausal status evaluation of the women revealed that 12 (20.3%) and 47 (79.7%) patients were premenopausal and postmenopausal, respectively. Endometrioid type carcinoma was encountered in 51 (86.4%) patients as the most commonly found histological type. Serous, clear cell and mucinous carcinomas were determined in 6 (10%), 1 (1.8%) and 1 (1.8%) patients, respectively. The results of Pap smear tests were atypical in 24 (40.7%) patients whereas normal results were obtained in 35 (59.3%) patients. Nuclear grade assessment of the carcinomas showed that grade 1, grade 2 and grade 3 carcinomas were discovered in 24 (40.7%), 25 (42.3%) and 10 (17%) patients, respectively. The rate of the atypical endometrial cells encountered by Pap smears has increased as grade of the tumors increased.

Conclusion: We have concluded that the detection rate of atypical cells by Pap smear in endometrial carcinomas is considerably high. The incidence of atypical cells is higher in nonendometrioid and high-grade carcinomas.

Aim: Investigate the role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in the evaluation of response of the locally
advanced rectal cancer to the chemoradiotheraphy (CR T).
Patients and Methods: T2-weighted and Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) of 24 cases with locally advanced
rectal cancer who have undergone total mesorectal excision 6-8 weeks following the CRT between 2015 and
2020 were evaluated retrospectively. The evaluated radiological parameters were as follows; Tumor morphology,
localization, length, mrT/mrN stages, and extramural vascular invasion (EMVI). Post-CRT MRI residue scoring
was performed (0: No residual tumor, 1: No significant residual tumor, fibrotic wall thickening, 2: Residual tumor
present). Regression grading was as follows; 1: No tumor, 2: Good response, mostly fibrosis, 3: Fibrosis and
mucin more than 50%, 4: Slight response, 5: No response.
Results: There was a significant decrease in the craniocaudal length of tumor and a significant increase
in the mean ADC of tumor after CRT (p=0.001). A significant and high correlation was observed between
histopathological T (pT) and post-CRT mrT (r=0.54, p=0.006). There was a significant correlation between pre-
CRT EMVI and perineural invasion (PNI) (r=0.53, p=0.008). A significant correlation was found between residue
scoring and regression grading (r=0.6; p=0.001), pT (r=0.48; p=0.02), and tumor length (r:0.51; p=0.01). There
was a significant correlation between regression grading and EMVI (r=0.43, p=0.036), PNI (r=0.46, p=0.02), pT
(r=0.41; p=0.048), pN (r=0.55; p=0.006), and metastatic/total lymph node ratio (r=0.46; p=0.02).
Conclusion: Post-CRT MRI is highly correlated with postoperative pathological evaluation of the locally
advanced rectal cancer. MRI is highly successful in re-staging as well as primary staging. The evaluation of
treatment response by MRI regression grading may contribute to the surgical planning.
