(2018) Tepeoglu, Merih; Uner, Halit; Haberal, Asuman Nihan; Ozen, Ozlem; Kuscu, Esra; 28272666
Primary adenocarcinoma of the vulva, unrelated to the native glands of perineum is an extremely rare neoplasm. Despite awareness of this lesion for over 40 years, the origin is not beyond speculation. The most reasonable hypothesis is based on the remnants of cloacal differentiation during early days of life. Here we report the case of a 60-year-old patient with a vulvar mass, who underwent partial vulvectomy and bilateral regional lymph node dissection. The tumor was composed of papillary and complex glandular structures and exhibited diffuse positivity for cytokeratin 20 and polyclonal CEA, CDX2, and focal positivity with cytokeratin 7. Unlike the indolent behavior of this malignant neoplasm according to the literature, we found two metastatic inguinal lymph nodes. She did not receive adjuvant therapy and is still alive, free of disease 38 months after surgery. We present different aspects of vulvar adenocarcinomas with a case report.

Tuberculosis involving the sternum is rare. The most common symptoms at the early stage are chest pain and palpable masses on the sternum. Cutaneous fistulas, spontaneous fracture of sternum and extrasternal spread may develop in cases with late diagnosis. In this article, we report a 53-year-old male case admitted with a one-month history of chest pain and two palpable masses on his lower sternal part of chest in whom the diagnosis of sternal tuberculosis was confirmed by histopathologically and rnicrobiologically. The masses were reduced in size with two-month anti-tubercular therapy. The nine-month duration of the therapy produced satisfactory results without any adverse reactions.

(2020) Ozkan, Burak; Uysal, Cagri A.; Uner, Halit; Ertas, Nilgun M.; 0000-0003-3093-8369; 0000-0001-6236-0050; AAI-5063-2020; AAJ-2949-2021
Orf disease is a zoonotic infectious caused by parapox virus transmitted by contaminated meat that entered from the disrupted skin. It is usually seen in butchers, farmers, or people who have contact with meat of infected animals commonly in sacrifice feast in Muslim countries. Two patients who admitted to our clinic with orf disease after sacrifice feast were presented. Orf disease should be considered, especially in sacrifice feast term in our country. It heals uneventfully and unnecessary manipulations should be avoided.
