    Coexistence of Tubo-Ovarian Abscess and Carcinoid Tumor of the Appendix in A Sexually Inactive Girl: A Case Report
    (2022) Acer-Demir, Tugba; Sagnak-Akilli, Muge; Guney, Lutfi Hakan; Arslan, Esra Elif; Fakioglu, Ender; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5391-9094; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7437-2734; E-4455-2019; AFT-2490-2022
    Background: Tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) is mostly a sequela of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) which is seen in sexually active women. Although very rare, TOA could be seen in virgin adolescent girls. Fifteen cases of TOA were reported in virgin girls in English literature. Only one of these cases was suspected to be due to appendicitis. Herein, we present the first case of coexistence of tubo-ovarian abscess and carcinoid tumor of the appendix in a sexually inactive girl. Case presentation: A 13-year-old girl presented with abdominal pain and fever. Ultrasonography reported that there was a 63x48 mm sized, heterogeneous, thick-walled, dense-content complicated cyst in the right ovary which was thought to be a hemorrhagic cyst and a tubular structure, measuring 12 mm in its thickest part which was thought to be the appendix. During the operation, a TOA was observed in the right adnexal region. The thick, edematous appendix which was lying separately was excised. The TOA was evacuated; a drain was placed. The appendix pathology was reported as "carcinoid tumor. " Conclusion: We present the first case of TAO with carcinoid tumor of appendix and the second case of TAO that was suspected to be due to appendicitis. When the sexually inactive TOA cases including our case were reviewed, we found that the median age was 15 years (12-47 years) and 11 of 16 cases (69%) were under 18 years of age. The presenting symptoms were abdominal or pelvic pain in all cases, fever in 11 cases (69%), vomiting in 6 cases (38%), dysuria in 5 cases (31%), and diarrhea in 3 cases (19%). Both perforated appendicitis and TOA patients have the same clinic presentation such as fever, abdominal tenderness, increased leukocyte count, increased inflammatory markers. The differential diagnosis can be achieved by radiological examinations such as ultrasonography, computerized tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.

    Spontaneous Corpus Cavernosum Abscess in a Healthy Man Using Long-Term Androgenic Anabolic Steroids
    (2015) Tuzel, Emre; 25927061
    Abscess formation of the corpus cavernosum is very rare. Here, we report a case of long-term anabolic androgenic steroid (AAS) abuse that is suspected to have facilitated the development of a corpus cavernosum abscess in a healthy bodybuilder. Cultures obtained from the abscess contained Staphylococcus epidermidis, a microorganism that almost exclusively affects immuno-compromised patients. Therefore, prompt drainage of pus from cavernosal bodies should be the primary aim of the treatment. This case illustrates the potential danger of AAS suppressing the immune system and causing a serious infection.

    A Rare Complication of Brucellosis: Testicular Abscess
    (2015) Gul, Umit; Demiroglu, Yusuf Ziya; Erbay, Gurcan; Kocer, Nazim Emrah
    Brucellosis is a zoonosis caused by Brucella species. Brucella epididymo-orchitis had been reported in up to 20% of patients with brucellosis. This case was a male patient who developed Brucella epidiymo-orchitis and testicular abscess. He had fever, arthralgia and his right epididymis and right testicle were enlarged and tender. Ultrasound evaluation showed hypertrophy of the right epididymis and testis and moreover hypoechoic area within the testis. Brucella serology was positive and the patient did not respond completely to treatment with streptomycin, doxycycline, and rifampicina. Unilateral orchidectomy was decided. In areas where brucella infection is endemic brucella epididymo-orchitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis. Effective and rapid treatment is important. It should be noted that these patients may develop testicular abscess.

    Retroperitoneal abscess and duodenal (enterocutaneous) fistula due to brucella
    (2016) Karadeli, Elif; Erbay, Gurcan; 0000-0002-0352-8818; 0000-0002-1706-8680; AAK-5399-2021; AAK-5370-2021
    Duodenal fistula is rarely seen. It occurs after gastric, aort, bowel operation, or trauma and foreign body perforastion. In this case report we present abdominal tomography findings of duodenal (enterocutaneous) fistula due to brucella.Duodenal fistula is rarely seen.
