ABS TRACT Ligneous mucosal disease is a rare, destructive condition of plasminogen deficiency characterized by generalized membranous gingival enlargement leading to rapid tooth loss. We report a case of long-standing, generalized ligneous periodontitis with an eleven years of follow-up. The patient did not have any extra oral lesions although she had been suffering from plasminogen deficiency. Treatment approaches had no benefit. An abnormal healing process is the main pathogenetic mechanism; still, intensive periodontal health care is essential for the patients who suffer from ligneous mucosal disease. This report describes a ligneous periodontitis case with a history of ligneous conjunctivitis and its clinical and histopathologic findings, therapeutic approaches and eleven years of follow-up.

systemic neurocutaneous genetic condition with an incidence of almost 1 in 6000 to 10000 live births.1 It is autosomal dominant inheritance and approximately two-thirds of the cases occur with spontaneous mutation. The clinical presentation caused by dysfunction of hamartin and tuberin proteins that are products of TSC1 and TSC2 genes is quite variable. The disease is characterized by hamartomas affecting multiple organs, including skin, brain, heart, kidney, lungs and eye.2

culitic disease which is characterized by recurrent oral and genital aphtous ulcers, skin lesions, uveitis, arthritis and vasculitis.1 Thrombosis as a result of vasculitis and lower extremity deep vein involvement as the leading finding may be present. Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is caused by obstruction of major hepatic veins. These patients may progress to liver failure and portal hypertension over time.2 BCS is related with BD in 5% of cases in western countries, while 9% in Turkey and 13% in Egypt.3,4 However, misdiagnosis or delay of diagnosis is common in patients with BD-related BCS.5 Some of the patients may be asymptomatic, while abdominal pain, jaundice, emesis, hepatomegaly and ascites are frequently present. In these patients, incomplete diagnostic criteria of BD should not delay the treatment. Here, we present a patient hospitalized for elevated liver enzymes and history of lower extremity thrombosis diagnosed later as BD-related BCS responding to combination therapy.

ABS TRACT Simple hepatic cysts are usually asymptomatic; most of them are found incidentally, and complications, such as rupture, bleeding, infection and obstructive jaundice, are rare. Intracystic hemorrhage is seen in 2-5% cases, but cyst rupture is an uncommon complication of hepatic cysts. A 70-year-old man without trauma history was admitted to our hospital’s emergency department with severe abdominal pain. Urgent laparotomy and surgical excision of the cyst were performed, revealing a ruptured cyst approximately 10x15 cm in size over the left liver lobe and a rupture hole approximately 1.5 cm in size over the cystic wall. The postoperative period was uneventful, and the patient was discharged six days after the operation. Spontaneous rupture is an extremely rare complication of simple hepatic cysts. Treatment for symptomatic hepatic cysts includes percutaneous aspiration and surgery. Surgical intervention, especially laparotomy, was preferred in most cases.

ABS TRACT Vaginal agenesis is a congenital anomaly which occurs as isolated developmental defect or as a part of complex anomalies. Vaginal anomalies associated with anorectal malformations are usually diagnosed and repaired in time of surgical correction of anorectal malformations during the infancy period. Herein a case with vaginal agenesis and recto-vestibular fistula, who underwent a neo-vaginal reconstruction with distal segment of fistula during the posterior sagittal anorectoplasty was presented. The use of recto-vestibular fistula as a neo-vagina in cases with vaginal agenesis combined imperforate anus seems to be a feasible and effective approach that has satisfactory anatomical and functional outcomes for vaginal reconstructions.

ABS TRACT Systemic sclerosis (Scl) is a multisystemic autoimmune disorder that is characterized by immune dysregulation, vasculopathy, and overproduction of collagen leading to skin and internal organ fibrosis. Calcinosis is a well known manifestation of Scl, which occurs the deposition of calcium in the dermis and subcutaneous tissues with normal levels of serum calcium and phosphorus. However, calcinosis on extremities and trunk is unfrequently seen. Herein we present the case of a 44-year-old female patient with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis who has calcinosis stiutated bilaterally at upper and lower extremities and trunk which is an unfrequent condition.

genic tumour. The most common occurrence sites are the mandibular molar and ramus regions. Etymologically, it is derived from the words “amel” which means enamel and “blastos” which means germ or bud. Ameloblastoma with aggressive potential shows local invasion and a high recurrence rate. The classification of ameloblastoma has changed in 2017. The classification of head and neck tumours according to the World Health Organization is shown in Table 1. While making this new classification, the World Health Organization has taken into account the fact that the “cystic” term confuses with the “unicystic”. Besides, the “ameloblastoma” pattern is easily recognizable and specific to conventional ameloblastoma, therefore “solid/multicystic” term has been removed from terminology.1 The exact aetiology has not been established, but some factors such as irritation after tooth extraction, tooth decay, trauma, inflammation, gene mutations, and nutritional disorders are considered. It arises more often in male and African origin people. Although it can be seen in 3 80-year-olds, the average age is 40 years. It is rarely seen before 20 years of age.2
