Publication Metadata only Timus Ağırlığı ve Hacminin Postmortem Ölçüm: 48 Olguluk Otopsi Serisi(2023-03-17) Soysal Ö.; SOYSAL, ÖMERPublication Open Access An unusual case of foreign body aspiration mimicking cavitary tuberculosis in adolescent patient: Thread aspiration(2012-05-11T00:00:00Z) ÇAKIR, Erkan; TORUN, EMEL; Uyan, Zeynep Seda; Akca, Ozge; SOYSAL, ÖMER; ÇAKIR, ERKAN; TORUN, EMEL; SOYSAL, ÖMERForeign body aspiration continues to be a serious problem in childhood and adolescent period with significant rate of morbidity and rarely mortality. Half of the foreign body aspiration cases have no history of aspiration. The main foreign bodies inhaled are food fragments and different kinds of metallic objects. A 12-year-old girl was referred to the pediatric pulmonology department for chronic cough and hemoptysis. She had persistent infiltration and cavitary lesion mimicking cavitary tuberculosis. There was no contact history with tuberculosis in her family and acid resistant bacillus was not found in the sputum examination. Flexible bronchoscopy was performed for persistent infiltration and hemoptysis and inflamed thread was found in right lower lobe bronchus. This is the first case of thread inhalation mimicking cavitary tuberculosis in an adolescent patient.Publication Open Access Determination of standard number, size and weight of mediastinal lymph nodes in postmortem examinations: reflection on lung cancer surgery(2013-04-16T00:00:00Z) Zıyade, Sedat; Pınarbasılı, Nb; Zıyade, N; Akdemır, Osman Cemil; Sahın, F; Soysal, Ömer; Toker, A; ZİYADE, SEDAT; AKDEMİR, OSMAN CEMİL; SOYSAL, ÖMERBackground Mediastinal lymph node dissection is an essential component of lung cancer surgery. Literature lacks established information regarding the number and size of the healthy lymph nodes. In this postmortem autopsy study, we aim to define the number, size and weight of the lymph nodes in each mediastinal lymph node station. To implement the data for the clinical practice, we analyzed the possible number of nodes to be dissected in a systematic mediastinal lymph node dissection from the right and left sides during lung cancer surgery. Methods Sixty-two samples obtained from cadavers who did not die from chest malignancies, extrathoracic malignancies, any kind of infections or previous hospitalization before the death were included to the study. The locations of the nodes were recorded according to the American Thoracic Society Mediastinal Lymph Node Map. The number, size and weight of the nodes were determined at each station. Results Median age of the cadavers was 39 years. Primary causes of death were asphyxia in 10 (16.1%) subjects, trauma in 29 (46.8%) subjects, cardiovascular problems in 10 (16.1%) subjects, and undetermined in 13 (21%) subjects. The median number of lymph nodes resected from each patient was 23 (range: 11–54). The right sided paratracheal lymph nodes (Station 2R and 4R) were more frequent, heavier and longer than left sided lymph nodes (Station 2L and 4L) at the paratrecheal region. Right sided inferior mediastinal lymph nodes were heavier and longer than the left ones; however, their availability was more often on the left. Conclusions The properties of mediastinal lymph nodes at particular stations are different for number, size and weight. Station 4R and 7 have the highest number of nodes followed by stations 5 and 6. We recommend removing the lymph nodes of these stations completely in lung cancer patients to rule out the possibility of micrometastatic disease. Diameter of normal lymph node may be 1 cm for the stations other than 4R and 7, but the definition of normal diameter of a lymph node at the stations 4R and 7 may be changed as 1,5 cm and 2,0 cm, respectively. Weight of the nodes may be a new subject to study and may be defined as a new modality to define a staging to be more accurate and the issue needs further investigations.Publication Metadata only Sternal metastasis from uterine leiomyosarcoma treated by near-total sternectomy and reconstruction with titanium sternal stabilization and fixation system(2015-01-01) Soysal, Omer; ERGUN, Selma Sonmez; Ziyade, SEDAT; Buyukpinarbasili, NUR; Akdemir, OSMAN CEMİL; SOYSAL, ÖMER; ZİYADE, SEDAT; ERGÜN, SELMA; BÜYÜKPINARBAŞILI, NUR; AKDEMİR, OSMAN CEMİLUterine leiomyosarcomas are rare soft tissue neoplasms. Although they have a tendency to metastasize to distant organs, most commonly to the lung, liver and brain, rarely, sternal metastasis from a uterine leiomyosarcoma can occur. In this article, we report a 50-year-old female patient whose uterine leiomyosarcoma was treated with total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salphingo-oopherectomy, and who developed sternal metastasis five years later, which was completely resected and successfully repaired during the same session.Publication Open Access Leiomyoma of the esophagus: open versus thoracoscopic enucleation(2014-01-01) Ziyade, SEDAT; Buyukpinarbasili, NUR; YEDIYILDIZ, Senel; Kadioglu, HÜSEYİN; Soysal, Omer; ZİYADE, SEDAT; KADIOĞLU, HÜSEYİN; BÜYÜKPINARBAŞILI, NUR; SOYSAL, ÖMERBackground/aim: To describe a novel, easy, and secure thoracoscopic surgical approach for esophageal leiomyomas.Publication Metadata only Foreign body aspiration: this time a chicken vertebra(2011-01-01) ZİYADE S.; SOYSAL Ö.; AKDEMİR O.
