Background: Although the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis is not clearly known, the most frequently mentioned factors are proinflammatory cytokines and nitric oxide (NO), which is stimulated by bacterial endotoxins. The relationship of erythropoietin (EPO), which is an erythroid line growth hormone, with proinflammatory cytokines and NO is also not clear. EPO has a well-known general tissue protective effect, yet its role in an inflammatory presentation like that of acute pancreatitis has not been investigated and documented. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the role of EPO in acute pancreatitis. Materials and Methods: 60 Wistar Albino rats were …

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) has many subtypes. A rare subtype consisting of papillary projections covered by cells oncocytic in character has been defined in recent years. Oncocytes with characteristic nuclear features of PTC are seen in the thyroid aspiration cytology of this subtype. In the cytological diagnosis, this variant could be confused with other oncocytic lesions of the thyroid. We discuss here the cytological and histopathological features of the oncocytic variant of PTC diagnosed in the aspiration biopsy and thyroid resection material in a 42-year-old female patient.
