    PLEURAL MESOTHELIOMA METASTASIS OF THE SCALP
    (Vesalius Univ Medical Publ, 2023) Bicak, Tugcem; Ozekinci, Selver; Ibiloglu, Ibrahim
    Mesothelioma is a locally aggressive malignant tumor that arises on the mesothelial surfaces of the pleura, peritoneum and tunica vaginalis. There are three histologic subtypes of mesothelioma: epithelioid, biphasic, and sarcomatoid. Pleural mesothelioma is usually characterized by diffuse pleural thickening. Disease progression is characterized by local invasion of the chest wall and lung. Lymphatic metastasis is rare and hematogenous metastasis is much rarer. The purpose of these case reports is to emphasize that pleural mesothelioma metastases can occur in unexpected places and to contribute to the literature.

    Renal Metastatic Melanoma Presenting With Solitary Mass
    (Springernature, 2023) Bicak, Tugcem; Ozekinci, Selver; Bicak, Yekta; Daggulli, Mansur
    The kidney is a rare site of metastatic implantation. Metastases to the kidney most commonly originate from carcinomas in the lungs, breasts, and colon. Melanoma metastasis to the kidney is rare. We present an unusual case of melanoma metastasis to the kidney arising in a 76-year-old male who was diagnosed with melanoma two years ago. We emphasize the importance of thorough patient anamnesis when diagnosing renal cell carcinoma or urothelial carcinoma is challenging. In cases where patients with a history of melanoma present with new masses or lesions, even in atypical areas, considering melanoma metastasis in the differential diagnosis is crucial.
