Article Aryepiglottic Fold and Subcutaneous Metastases From Breast Carcinoma(Assoc Royal Soc Scientifiques Medicales Belges, 2009) Avcu, S.; Izmirli, M.; Ozcan, H. Nursun; Sengul, I.; Lemmerling, M.We report the CT findings in a 77-year-old woman with left-sided aryepiglottic fold metastasis from breast cancer diagnosed 7 years previously. The lesion obliterated the left piriform sinus, had a lobulated contour and showed mild and heterogeneous enhancement on a post-contrast CT examination. Biopsy of the lesion revealed metastasis from poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, compatible with metastasis of the breast carcinoma. Before detection of the laryngeal lesion, a second primary tumor in the right ovary was diagnosed. After right oopherectomy, histopathology revealed clear cell adenocarcinoma. The patient also had multiple subcutaneous metastases and bilateral cervical lymphadenopathies. Chemotherapy was applied to the patient.Article Gangrenous Meckel's Diverticulum in a Strangulated Umbilical Hernia in a 42-Year Woman: a Case Report(2010) Sengul, I.; Sengul, D.; Avcu, S.; Parlak, O.Introduction: Meckel's diverticulum affects 1 - 3 % of general population and is known as the most common anomaly of gastrointestinal tract. However, its estimated lifetime complication rate is approximately 4 %. Intestinal obstruction is most common complication of Meckel's diverticulum in adult population. Case presentation: In the present study, we reported a 42-year-old female patient with a gangrenous Meckel's diverticulum in a strangulated umbilical hernia sac treated by dissection of diverticulomesenteric bands and diverticulectomy. In 36 months follow-up, there was neither any complication nor recurrence of hernia. Conclusion: This case represents a gangrenous Meckel's diverticulum in a strangulated umbilical hernia sac diagnosed in case of emergency. Although it is a very rare phenomenon, we should be vigilant for this entity especially in case of emergency. © 2010 Sengul et al.
