Primary Small Cell Carcinoma of the Lung Presenting with Breast and Skin Metastases
( Fatih Altintoprak ),( Halil Firat Baytekin ),( Canatan Tasdemir ) 대한내과학회 2011 The Korean Journal of Internal Medicine Vol.26 No.2
Cutaneous metastases originating from an internal cancer are relatively uncommon in clinical practice, and metastatic lesions to the breast are rarer than those to the skin. Skin metastases of lung cancer, which may be the first sign of the disease, usually indicate progressive disease and a poor prognosis. We describe a 47-year-old male who presented with recurring masses in the lumbar region bilaterally and the right breast. Immunohistochemical findings and radiological imaging suggested lung cancer. This is the first reported case of small cell lung cancer metastasizing to two separate, uncommon sites, the skin and breast. (Korean J Intern Med 2011;26:207-209)
Topical Steroids to Treat Granulomatous Mastitis: A Case Report
( Fatih Altintoprak ) 대한내과학회 2011 The Korean Journal of Internal Medicine Vol.26 No.3
Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a rare and chronic benign disease of the breast. Histologically, the disease presents as an intense inflammatory reaction with non-caseated granulomas that are the characteristic symptom of the disease. No consensus exists on the best treatment modality for this disease. In this report, we present a patient with granulomatous mastitis who was treated successfully with low-dose oral and topical steroids. Our aim here is to discuss various approaches for IGM in view of the literature and present treatment with topical steroids, which has not been reported.
Comparision of the Limberg flap with the V-Y flap technique in the treatment of pilonidal disease

Purpose: In this study, we investigated whether there is a factor that can aid determi nation of the preferred technique by comparing the early and late results of two different surgical techniques for the treatment of pilonidal sinus. Methods: The medical records of 176 patients in whom the Limberg flap (LF) or V-Y flap techniques were applied for reconstruction after the excision were evaluated retrospectively. Results: The development rates of postoperative hematoma, wound separation, wound infection, and seroma were 2.8%, 5.1%, 5.6%, and 6.3%, respectively, while total flap necrosis was not observed in any patient. Return to daily activities was achieved after a mean of 17.1 days (13 to 21 days) days in the LF group and 32.7 days (18 to 47 days) in the V-Y flap group. During the average follow-up of 65 months (36 to 110 months), nine patients (5.1%) developed recurrent disease. There was no difference between the two groups with respect to early surgical complications (P = 0.286) or disease recurrence (P = 0.094), whereas the resumption of daily activities was longer in patients with a V-Y flap (P < 0.001). Conclusion: The early postoperative and long-term results of the LF and V-Y flap techniques for the treatment of pilonidal sinus were similar. Because the resumption of daily activities at work is achieved later in patients undergoing the V-Y flap compared with the LF technique, patients’ employment (or position in working life) must be considered when determining the most appropriate surgical technique.
