Publication Metadata only Diffuse idiopathic necrobiosis lipoidica: case report(2018-01-01T00:00:00Z) Destek, SABAHATTİN; Gul, Vahit Onur; Ahioglu, Serkan; DESTEK, SABAHATTİNNecrobiosis lipoidica is a granulomatous skin disease whose etiology and pathogenesis are not fully explained. The association of necrobiosis lipoidica with diabetes mellitus is frequently discussed and it is thought that microangiopathy plays an important role. Although there are many treatment options, there is no standard treatment model. In this study; a 43-year-old female patient with common skin lesions and punch biopsy and necrobiosis lipoidica diagnosis was presented. The patient was found to have concomitant diabetes mellitus with necrobiosis lipoidica. After treatment, diabetes mellitus clinic resolves but the necrobiosis lipoidica does not fully recover; Autoimmune hepatitis was detected and immunosuppressive treatment was given and the patient-s treatment was provided. In this case report, etiology and treatment of necrobiosis lipoidica have been discussed based on this case.Publication Metadata only A Rare Disease of the Digestive Tract: Esophageal Melanosis(2016-06-01T00:00:00Z) Destek, SABAHATTİN; Gul, Vahit Onur; Ahioglu, Serkan; Erbil, Yesim; DESTEK, SABAHATTİNEsophageal melanosis which is characterized by melanocytic proliferation in the squamous epithelium of the esophagus and melanin accumulatin of esophageal mucosa (EM) is a rare disease of the digestive system. Although esophageal melanosis is considered to be a benign disease, its etiology is not cleared and has been reported to be the precursor lesion of esophageal primary melanomas. In this report, we aimed to note esophageal melanosis in a 55-year-old female case who applied to our clinic with difficulty in swallowing, burning behind the breastbone in the stomach, heartburn, indigestion, and pain in the upper abdomen after endoscopic and pathologic evaluation. Complaints dropped with anti-acid therapy and case was followed by intermittent endoscopic procedures because of precursor melanocytic lesions.Publication Metadata only Minimally Invasive Surgical Approach to Complicated Recurrent Pilonidal Sinus(2015-01-01T00:00:00Z) Gul, Vahit Onur; Destek, SABAHATTİN; Ozer, Serhat; Etkin, Ergin; Ahioglu, Serkan; Ince, Mehmet; Cimin, Vedat; Sen, Deniz; Erbil, Yesim; DESTEK, SABAHATTİNPilonidal sinus is considered as a simple and frequently occurring disease localized at the sacrococcygeal area. However, at the intergluteal region, it can often turn into a chronic and complicated disease. In some cases, it can fistulize up to the gluteal region and appear at the secondary orifices. Minimally invasive surgical techniques are becoming widespread in recent years due to the increased experience and development of new instruments. Limited excision of the pilonidal sinus tract can be a better treatment option compared with large excisions in terms of recovery time and patient-s comfort. This case study reports the singlephase surgical treatment of complicated and recurrent pilonidal sinus localized at the gluteal area, with minimal tissue loss and inflammation.Publication Metadata only A variety of gene polymorphisms associated with idiopathic granulomatous mastitis(2016-09-01T00:00:00Z) Destek, SABAHATTİN; Gul, Vahit Onur; Ahioglu, Serkan; DESTEK, SABAHATTİNIdiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a rare and chronic inflammatory disorder. IGM mimics breast cancer regarding its clinical and radiological features. Etiology of IGM remains unclarified. Our patient was 37-year-old and 14 weeks pregnant. There was pain, redness and swelling in the right breast. The mass suggestive of malignancy was detected in sonography. Serum CA 125 and CA 15-3 levels were high. Genetic analysis was performed for the etiology. methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C 677 TT, beta-fibrinogen-455 G>A, plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1 5 G/5 G, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) I/D mutation was found. IGM was diagnosed by cor biopsy. An association was also reported between breast cancer and mutations in MTHFR-C 677 T, PAI-1, ACE genes. Genetic polymorphisms may involve in the development of IGM as it was seen in our case. Further studies should be conducted to better clarify this plausible association.
