Article Inflammatory Pseudotumor of the Lung Associated With Anemia: a Case Report and Review of the Literature(2000) Yalcinkaya,; Demirtas, I.; Ayakta, H.; Akpolat, N.; Dilek, I.; Dilek, D.H.Inflammatory pseudotumor of the lung is a benign tumor which is rarely seen. A mass in the left lung was observed in the chest roentgenogram of an 8 year-old boy while investigating for anemia. Preoperative investigations could not render the exact diagnosis. Pneumonectomy was required in exploratris thoracotomy. Histopathologic diagnosis was fibrohistiocytic type of inflammatory pseudotumor. Four months after the operation, anemia was cured without any further treatment.Article Prophylactic Appendectomy : Is It Worth To Be Done(ARSMB-KVBMG, 2001) Dilek, O.N.; Güler, O.; Güler, A.A.; Demirtas, I.; Altindis, M.; Dilek, F.H.; Özgören, E.There are still many controversial issues in prophylactic appendectomy. In this retrospective study, we have appraised the reasons and results of prophylactic appendectomies performed between January 1997 and August 1999. Sixty four prophylactic appendectomy cases were included in this study and all resected specimens were submitted to histopathological analysis. In 23 patients with incisional hernias, a prophylactic appendectomy was performed as, in the future, dense adhesions may lead to difficult appendectomy. Additional appendectomy had no negative effect on perioperative complications, compared with the patients without appendectomies. In conclusion, in the presence of optimal conditions, prophylactic appendectomy can be performed safely.
