It is well known that the presence of large-sized congenital nevus in early life could predict a major risk of developing melanoma. Objective: To investigate the clinical and dermoscopic features of the CMN, to search for and highlight any differences between small-sized, medium-sized, large-sized CMN. Methods: A nonrandomized observational study was performed. A total of 108 melanocytic nevi were analysed by clinical and dermoscopic examination. Results: Of the subjects, 57.4% were aged less than 16 years, 42.6% were aged 16 and more. Of the nevi, 26 had reticular pattern (24.1%), 35 had globular pattern (32.4%), 13 had reticular-globular pattern (12.0%), 16 had homogeneous pattern (14.8%), 6 had reticular-homogeneous pattern (5.6%), 2 had globular-homogeneous pattern (1.9%), 7 had cobblestone pattern (6.5%), 3 had reticular patchy pattern (2.8%). Atypical dots and globules, focal hypopigmentation and perifollicular hypopigmentation are the most common dermoscopic features of CMN. The rarest dermoscopic feature is the blue-whitish veil. Conclusion: Most of the dermoscopic features related with dysplastic nevi up to the present, such as atypical dots and globules, focal hypopigmentation, perifollicular hypopigmentation were observed in CMN, in our study. Congenital nevus and dysplastic nevi may share the same dermoscopic features, therefore it is important to know it is found at birth or not.Publication Metadata only Dermatology residents- opinions: Problems and proposals of their solutions in residency training Deri ve zührevi hastaliklari uzmanlik ögrencilerinin görüsleri: Uzmanlik egitiminde sorunlar ve çözüm önerileri(2014-01-01T00:00:00Z) Cengiz, FATMA PELİN; KEMERIZ, Funda; Emiroǧlu, NAZAN; MEYDAN, Mustafa Caner; CENGİZ, FATMA PELIN; EMİROĞLU, NAZANPublication Metadata only Sex hormones in male psoriasis patients and their correlation with the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index.(2015-05-01T00:00:00Z) CEMIL, BC; Cengiz, FATMA PELİN; ATAS, H; OZTURK, G; CANPOLAT, F; CENGİZ, FATMA PELINPublication Open Access Insulin resistance in severe acne vulgaris(2015-01-01T00:00:00Z) Emiroglu, NAZAN; Cengiz, FATMA PELİN; KEMERIZ, Funda; EMİROĞLU, NAZAN; CENGİZ, FATMA PELINIntroduction: Acne vulgaris is a pilosebaceous gland disease that usually affects people from puberty to young adulthood. It is seen especially on the face, neck, trunk and arms. Its severity differs from patient to patient and its pathogenesis is multifactorial. The main pathogenic factors of acne are high sebaceous gland secretion, follicular hyperproliferation, high androgen effects, propionibacterium acnes colonization and inflammation. Diet is always thought a probable reason for acne and many studies are done about acne and diet.Publication Open Access The relation between dermoscopy and histopathology of basal cell carcinoma(2015-05-01) Emiroglu, NAZAN; Cengiz, FATMA PELİN; KEMERIZ, Funda; EMİROĞLU, NAZAN; CENGİZ, FATMA PELIN: Basal cell carcinoma is the most frequent cancer in fair-skinned populations and dermoscopy is an important, non-invasive technique that aids in the diagnosis of Basal cell carcinoma. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between histopathological subtypes and dermoscopic features of Basal cell carcinoma. METHODS: This study included 98 patients with clinically and histopathologically confi rmed Basal cell carcinomas. The dermoscopic features of the lesions from each patient were analyzed before the histopathological fi ndings were evaluated. RESULTS: Dermoscopic structures were observed in all 98 patients and irregular vascularity was identifi ed in 78 patients (79.6%). The most common vascular pattern was the presence of arborizing vessels (42 patients, 42.9%) followed by arborizing microvessels (21 patients, 21.4%) and short fi ne telangiectasias (SFTs; 15 patients, 15.3%). White streaks (38 patients, 38.8%), translucency (31 patients, 31.6%), a milky-pink to red background (42 patients, 42.9%), and erosion/ulceration (29 patients, 29.6%) were also observed. Pigmented islands were seen as blue-gray globules (7 patients, 7.1%) and blue-gray ovoid nests (42 patients, 42.9%). The pigment distribution pattern was maple leaf-like areas in 9 patients (9.2 %) and spoke wheel-like areas in 6 patients (6.1%). CONCLUSIONS: Basal cell carcinomas show a wide spectrum of dermoscopic features. Arborizing vessels were the most common dermoscopic fi ndings in Basal cell carcinomas, while superfi cial Basal cell carcinomas displayed mainly milky-pink to red areas, and arborizing microvessels. The most common dermoscopic features of pigmented types were islands of pigment (blue-gray globules, blue-gray ovoid nests). In conclusion, dermoscopy can be used as a valuable tool for the diagnosis of Basal cell carcinomas and prediction of their histopathological subtypes.

Therefore, it can be used as a target molecule in the treatment of autoimmune diseases. The aim of our study was to determine serum IL-23 levels in patients with vitiligo to understand their possible roles in the disease etiology and to compare the results with the healthy controls.Publication Open Access Dermatoscopic findings of pigmented purpuric dermatosis(2016-09-01) Su, Ozlem; OZKAYA, Dilek Biyik; Emiroglu, NAZAN; Cengiz, FATMA PELİN; Bahali, ANIL GÜLSEL; Yildiz, PELİN; DEMIRKESEN, Cuyan; Onsun, NAHİDE; EMİROĞLU, NAZAN; SU KÜÇÜK, ÖZLEM; CENGİZ, FATMA PELIN; BAHALI, ANIL GÜLSEL; YILDIZ, PELİN; ONSUN, NAHIDEackground:: Pigmented purpuric dermatosis is a chronic skin disorder of unknown aetiology characterised by symmetrical petechial and pigmented macules, often confined to the lower limbs. The aetiology of pigmented purpuric dermatosis is unknown. Dermatoscopy is a non-invasive diagnostic technique that allows the visualisation of morphological features invisible to the naked eye; it combines a method that renders the corneal layer of the skin translucent with an optical system that magnifies the image projected onto the retina. Objectives:: The aim of this study is to investigate the dermatoscopic findings of pigmented purpuric dermatosis. Methods:: This study enrolled patients diagnosed histopathologically with pigmented purpuric dermatosis who had dermatoscopic records. We reviewed the dermatoscopic images of PPD patients who attended the outpatient clinic in the Istanbul Dermatovenereology Department at the Bezmialem Vakıf University Medical Faculty. Results:: Dermatoscopy showed: coppery-red pigmentation (97%, n = 31) in the background, a brown network (34%, n = 11), linear vessels (22%, n = 7), round to oval red dots, globules, and patches (69%, n = 22; 75%, n = 24; 34%, n = 11; respectively), brown globules (26%, n = 8) and dots (53%, n = 17), linear brown lines (22%, n = 7), and follicular openings (13%, n = 4). Conclusion:: To our knowledge, this is the first study to report the dermatoscopy of pigmented purpuric dermatosis. In our opinion, dermatoscopy can be useful in the diagnosis of pigmented purpuric dermatosis.
