    Abscess in adenomyosis mimicking a malignancy in a 54-year-old woman
    (2003) Erguvan R.; Meydanli M.M.; Alkan A.; Edali M.N.; Gokce H.; Kafkasli A.
    Background: Although there are a few reports describing abscess formation in endometriotic foci no report of abscess formation arising de novo within adenomyosis appears in the literature. Preoperative diagnosis of adenomyosis is frequently difficult because of non-specific signs and symptoms. Synchronous pelvic pathologies such as leiomyoma, endometrial polyp, endometrial hyperplasia, as well as endometrial cancer may cause differential diagnostic problems. Case: A 54-year-old postmenopausal woman complaining of inguinal pain, nightsweats and hot flashes is presented. Radiologic examinations of the pelvis revealed a 95 x 85 mm leiomyoma-like lesion including a 53 x 43 mm cystic space and 9 x 6 mm papillary formation within the uterus raising clinical suspicion of malignancy. A total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy were performed accompanied by a frozen section diagnosis. The frozen section revealed an abscess formation arising in a focus of adenomyosis. The postoperative period of the patient was uneventful. Conclusion: The present case, to our knowledge, is the first report representing abscess formation in adenomyosis. Abscess arising within adenomyosis can strongly raise the suspicion of endometrial cancer, particularly if the patient is postmenopausal. If endometrial cancer cannot be ruled out with definitive histopathological diagnosis in the preoperative period, a frozen section becomes mandatory during surgical intervention.

    A functional and aesthetic solution for saddle nose deformity: the use of the inferior turbinate bone.
    (2003) Ozturan O.; Erdem T.; Miman M.C.; Erguvan R.
    The use of a new autologous material, the inferior turbinate bone, for nasal augmentation is presented together with surgical treatment of a 24-year-old male patient with moderately severe saddle nose deformity. In the postoperative period, no complications were observed. Photographs and three-dimensional computed tomography views obtained 13 months after the operation showed that the reconstruction area was highly free of postoperative resorption. The patient's complaints disappeared, and he was satisfied with functional and cosmetic results. Moreover, a histologic evaluation which was made to assess the depth of the glandular component showed that the inferior turbinate bone could be used over the nasal dorsum in a smoother shape, retaining its overlying soft tissue.
