Angioleiomyoma of the Ankle
(2022) Gültekin Sıtkı ÇEÇEN; Uğur Onur KASMAN; Özgür KORKMAZ; Osman RODOP; Nimet KARADAYI
Leiomyoma is a benign soft-tissue mass of smooth muscle origin. Patients usually present to the outpatient clinic with a slow-growing subcutaneous soft-tissue mass. It was aimed to report that angioleiomyoma can be rarely localized around the ankle. A 54-year-old male patient was admitted to our outpatient clinic with a complaint of soft-tissue mass with periodic pain on the lateral side of the left ankle for 1 year. After clinical and radiological evaluation, a 22 mm × 18 mm septated soft-tissue mass that did not show any contrast was detected on magnetic resonance imaging. Soft-tissue mass excision was planned with extracapsular resection against the possibilities of malignant pathology. The soft-tissue mass was approximately 2 × 1.5 cm in size, and it was regularly encapsulated. Pathological examination results were determined as vascularized leiomyoma. Vascularized leiomyoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of ankle soft-tissue tumors, and it should be excised with wide margins.

Metastatic tracheal tumor palliated with rigid bronchoscopy and argon plasma coagulation: a case report with video presentation
(2021) Ahmet Bülent KARGI; Nimet KARADAYI
Metastasis of tracheobronchial tree is an infrequent and life-threatening condition. Endobronchial metastasis is rare while endotracheal metastasis is extremely rare entity. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) constitutes approximately 3% of all adult malignancies and metastasizes 30% cases to organs during the course of the disease. Lung is the most common target organ of RCC metastasis and usually bilateral parenchymal metastases are seen as well as tracheobronchial system. Hemoptysis may be the first manifestation and bronchoscopy is useful for both diagnosis and therapy. Argon plasma coagulation (APC) is a choice of current therapeutic techniques to achieve hemostasis from bleeding endobronchial lesions. Here we report a case of 72-year-old man was suffering hemoptysis due to endotracheal metastasis of RCC diagnosed via rigid bronchoscopy and palliated with APC successfully.
