    Arthroscopic excision of elastofibroma dorsi at scapulothoracic joint: a surgical technique
    (2014) Cakmak, Gokhan; Ergun, Tarkan; Sahin, M.Sukru
    Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare soft tissue pseudotumor which is located at the anteroinferior aspect of the scapula. In this article, we report a 19-year-old female case who had arthroscopic marginal excision of elastofibroma dorsi at the scapulothoracic joint without recurrences during follow-up. The artiaroscopic marginal excision of the elastofibroma dorsi may have good clinical results in selected cases.

    Targeted treatment with pazopanib in metastatic soft tissue sarcoma: Nearly complete response in two cases
    (2015) Sedef, Ali Murat; Kose, Fatih; Dogan, Ozlem; Ergun, Tarkan; Sezer, Ahmet; Mertsoylu, Hoseyin; Muallaoglu, Sadik; Besen, Ayberk; Ozyilkan, Ozgur; 25798275
    Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are a group of rare mesenchymal cancers that include approximately 50 histological types and account for 1% of all adult cancers. The standard curative treatment option for localized disease is surgical resection and, if a surgically removed tumor exhibits high-risk characteristics, adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy may be administered. Sarcoma presenting at an advanced stage has a dismal prognosis and survival has not markedly improved over the last 20 years. The standard first-line treatment for advanced STS, other than gastrointestinal stromal tumors, is cytotoxic chemotherapy. Therapies targeting pro-angiogenic factors have been a focus of drug development for STS over the last few years. Pazopanib, a multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is a novel treatment option for patients with metastatic STS in the second-line setting. This is a presentation of 2 case reports of patients with metastatic STS who responded well to treatment with pazopanib.

    Sex differences in adult craniofacial parameters
    (2015) Avci, Suat; Ergun, Tarkan; Aydin, Erdinc; Kansu, Leyla; 25935592
    To compare normal male and female craniofacial parameters in adults and evaluate associations of sex and intercochlear distance with other craniofacial parameters. In 60 normal adults (30 men and 30 women) who had no otitis media, craniofacial parameters were measured retrospectively on two-dimensional reformatted computed tomography scans. Compared with women, men had significantly greater mean osseous auditory tube length, cartilaginous auditory tube length, mastoid length, intercochlear distance, sella to posterior nasal spine distance, sella to basion distance, and nasopharynx sagittal area. The intercochlear distance was significantly correlated with mastoid depth, midpoint of the pharyngeal opening distance, sella to nasion distance, and nasopharynx sagittal area and inversely with angle of the auditory tube. Most men and women had Korner septum present, and mean thickness of Korner septum was significantly greater in men than women. Some craniofacial parameters, especially vertical parameters, differ with sex. These differences begin in childhood and continue in adulthood. Sex must be considered when planning a craniofacial morphologic study, and results of a craniofacial morphologic study should be evaluated with caution when there is no sex matching of the patient and control groups.

    A Rare Cause of Acute Abdominal Pain: Primary Appendagitis
    (2015) Ergun, Tarkan; Lakadamyali, Hatice
    Primary appendagitis epiploica - one of the causes of acute abdominal pain - is a self-limited rare benign inflammatory condition involving the colonic epiploic appendages. Their therapy is conservative and clinically mimics other conditions requiring surgery such as acute appendicitis or omental torsion. However, being a quite rare condition is the reason they are usually neglected by both the surgeon and the radiologist. However the computed tomography (CT) findings are rather characteristic and pathognomonic. Thus, to consider CT as the diagnostic modality of choice is extremely important in order to diagnose the condition and to avoid unnecessary surgical interventions. This is a paper reporting an acute abdominal pain case of primary appendicitis epiploica diagnosed using computed tomography.
