Analysis of Sinonasal, Pharyngeal and Allergy-Related Risk Factors for Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media
(Carbone Editore, 2013) Bozkus, Ferhat; Bozan, Nazim; Iynen, Ismail; Sakin, Yunus Feyyat; Kiris, Muzaffer
Aim: To evaluate potential sinonasal, pharyngeal and allergy-related risk factors that may be associated with the risk of chronic otitis media development. Methods: After a detailed anamnesis, serum eosinophilic cationic protein levels, total and allergen-specific IgE levels and nasal smear samples were assessed for allergy-related findings. Paranasal sinus computed tomography was performed for rhinologic abnormalities. Results: The present study showed more frequently in patients suffering from chronic otitis media, several abnormalities in different allergic parameters such as eosinophil levels in the smear, serum eosinophilic cationic protein, total and specific serum IgE levels, which might cause nasal stuffiness, as hypertrophy of adenoid tissue, and presence of imaging findings consistent with obstruction of osteomeatal unit. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that the role of sinonasal abnormalities and allergic rhinitis in the pathogenesis of chronic otitis media is still prevalent. We have concluded that although medical history, and physical examination are considered mandatory procedures during the initial evaluation of the patients with chronic otitis media, radiological, endoscopic, and other auxiliary diagnostic tools should be used in the objective assessment of the patients, and lesions of the nasal cavity, and the nasopharynx must be always taken into consideration in the differential diagnosis.
Congenital Epulis
(Nobel Ilac, 2010) Sakin, Yunus Feyyat; Cankaya, Hakan; Ugurlu, Serdal; Kosem, Mustafa
Congenital epulis is a rarely encountered pathology the majority of which originates from the gingival mucosa particularly the anterior portion of the maxillary alveolar arch A one day old neonate was brought with an oral mass disrupting nursing On examination a 3X2 cm spherical mass originating from the upper gingiva was found The mass was excised under local anesthesia and histopathologically diagnosed as congenital epulis During a follow up of 4 months no recurrence was found in the patient Congenital epulis has to be among the diagnoses considered initially in gingival masses in neonates

(deomed Publ, Istanbul, 2014) Kanmaz, Alper; Sakin, Yunus Feyyat; Muderris, Togay; Bozan, Nazim; Kiris, Muzaffer
Granular cell tumor (GCT) is a rare benign neoplasm that is observed in oral cavity mostly in head-neck part or especially on the tongue. This lesion is generally observed as a solitary nodule with unidentified boundaries and it may reside in different areas of the body. The presented case is a 35-year-old male patient who referred with a problem of indolent lesion on his tongue. Excisional biopsy has been applied to the patient under general anesthesia. There was no complication observed in surgical operation and during post-operative period. There were no symptoms observed on the sixth month of post-operative period. In this paper, a case that has unidentified boundary of tongue placement which includes cystic lesion and identified by a GHT diagnosis has been presented by reviewing the up-to-date studies.
A Huge Thornwaldt's Cyst Causing Hearing Loss in an Adult Patient
(Pakistan Medical Assoc, 2017) Bozan, Nazim; Sakin, Yunus Feyyat; Kundi, Pinar; Ari, Muzaffer; Bozkus, Ferhat
Nasopharynx (NP) is anatomically difficult to explore adequately. The pharyngeal bursa (PB) is a recess lined with respiratory epitheliumalong the posterior wall of the nasopharynx between the longus capitis muscles. If the opening through which the bursa drains into the nasopharynx becomes obstructed, a Thornwaldt's cyst (TC) might develop. Small-sized cysts are mostly asymptomatic, whereas large-sized cysts may lead to various nasal and otologic symptoms depending on their localization. In this report, we present a 71-year-old case with a huge TC who presented to our clinic with the complaints of snoring, nasal obstruction, periodic halitosis, postnasal drip, headache, and hearing loss in the left ear and underwent total excision of the cyst through transnasal endoscopy. The diagnosis and treatment characteristics of the case are presented with the review of the literature.
Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma: a Case Report
(Medi+world int, 2009) Sakin, Yunus Feyyat; Ugurlu, Serdal; Cankaya, Hakan; Kosem, Mustafa
Objective: Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG), also known as osteoclastoma, giant cell reperative granuloma, or giant cell hyperplasia, is a reactive exophytic lesion observed in the oral cavity. We report an extremely rare case of PGCG. Method: The case is discussed in light of the information in the literature. Results: A 30-year-old female patient admitted to our clinic with the complaints of painless swelling and gingival growth underwent total excision of an exophytic lesion causing purplish-red colored gingival growth found during clinical examination in the upper jaw in the region of right vestibular 1st molar tooth. Histopathological examination revealed PGCG. Conclusion: We wish to stress that effective treatment of PGCG requires not only complete excision of the lesion, but also elimination of irritating factors. Keywords: Peripheral giant cell granuloma, gingival hyperplasia, gingival mass, benign tumor, aggressive periodontitis.
The Preauricular Sinus / Cyst: a Case Report
(2016) Bozkus, Ferhat; Bozan, Nazim; Gözen, Ahmet; Sakin, Yunus Feyyat
Preauriküler sinüs embriyonik gelişimde kulağı oluşturan birinci ve ikinci brankial yarığın birleşmesi sırasında meydana gelen bozukluk onucu oluşan konjenital bir anomalidir. Genellikle semptomsuz olup, nadiren tekrarlayan rekürren şişlikle beraber akıntı, üzerinde inflamasyon meydana gelen ve enfeksiyonlarla bir arada olabilmektedir. Sağ kulak önünde 3 yıldır tekrarlayan rekürrent şişlik ve yara enfeksiyonu bulunan 18 yaşındaki erkek hastada preauriküler sinüs saptandı ve literatür eşliğinde vaka tartışıldı. Özellikle preauriküler bölgenin iyileşmeyen ve tedavilere cevap vermeyen tekrarlayan rekürren şişlikle beraber akıntı, üzerinde inflamasyon meydana gelen deri enfeksiyonu ve yaralarının emininde preauriküler sinüsün de olabileceği unutulmamalıdır. Fistül traktusunun yetersiz rezeke edildiği vakalarda geç dönemde nüks meydana gelebilmektedir. Preauriküler sinüs/kist preauriküler bölge lezyonlarında ayırıcı tanıda düşünülmelidir.
Reattachment of a Partially Amputated Ear Without Microsurgery
(Pakistan Medical Assoc, 2016) Bozan, Nazim; Sakin, Yunus Feyyat; Bozkus, Ferhat; Ciftci, Mehmet Ali
Traumatic ear amputations are relatively rare. Whenever possible, ear re-implantation should be attempted; however the choice of the surgical procedure must be judicious. In the current report, a case of complete non-microsurgical salvage of a partially amputated ear treated by the pocket technique described by Mladick was presented. The surgical technique is described in detail by serial photographs, along with the postoperative management and outcome of the patients. The revascularisation of the severed part was successful. Morphological result was very good when the ear was freed from the pocket. We recommend the Mladick's procedure for reimplantation of fragments less than 1/2 of the auricle with favourable tissue condition.
Suppurative Cervical Tuberculous Lymphadenitis Mimicking a Metastatic Neck Mass
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2016) Bozan, Nazim; Sakin, Yunus Feyyat; Parlak, Mehmet; Bozkus, Ferhat
Tuberculosis is an important public's health problem in developing countries. Although tuberculosis is commonly found in lungs, it could also be found in lymph nodes, mouth, tonsils, tounge, nose, epiglottis, larynx, and pharynx of head-neck region. The most common form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis placed outside the lungs is tuberculous lymphadenitis. Tuberculosis lymphadenitis is the most commonly seen form of the extrapulmoner tuberculosis and usually invades the lymph nodules of the cervical region. An adult patient with tuberculous lymphadenitis has been presented within the context of the literature reviewed. A 42-year-old woman, who has admitted to our clinic with a fistulized mass in the right side of her neck, has been diagnosed and treatment has been performed. No other problems were found in the systemic examination of the patient. Since there is no specific finding of pulmonary tuberculosis, detailed investigations are required in patients admitted with the sypmtomps of neck mass.
A Thyroglossal Cyst With Double Duct Seen in an Adult Patient
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2016) Bozan, Nazim; Sakin, Yunus Feyyat; Bozkus, Ferhat; Kanmaz, Alper
Thyroglossal duct cysts (TDCs) are one of the most common congenital cervical masses that develop in children. Double TDCs are reported in very few patients in the literature. However, the authors did not come across any thyroglossal cyst with double duct in the English literature. A 35-year female patient consulted to authors' clinic with complaints of a swelling localized on the left side of the neck and recurrent purulent discharge. A Sistrunk operation was planned and during the operation, 2 fistula tracts, both terminated in the hyoid bone, were exposed. Usually, only one fistulous tract opens onto the skin; however, in the authors' patient, the authors encountered TDC with double ducti. To authors' knowledge, no similar patients were reported in the literature.
