Publication Open Access Phacomatosis pigmentokeratotica associated with unilateral toe walking due to short achilles tendon(WOLTERS KLUWER MEDKNOW PUBLICATIONS, 2020) SALMAN, ANDAÇ; Salman, Andac; Yucelten, Ayse Deniz; Cakici, Ozlem Akin; Unver, OlcayPhacomatosis pigmentokeratotica (PPK) is characterized by the co-occurrence of speckled lentiginous nevus (nevus spilus) and an organoid nevus with or without extracutaneous involvement. The extracutaneous manifestations may vary widely with musculoskeletal, neurologic, ocular, and vascular findings. The PPK is also associated with an increased risk of cutaneous or extracutaneous tumors. Therefore, the patients with PPK should be followed up regularly for possible malignant transformation. Here, we report a 5-year-old boy with PPK associated with toe walking due to short Achilles tendon, which was not previously reported, to our knowledge.Publication Open Access Atypical presentations of eosinophilic fasciitis(MEDKNOW PUBLICATIONS & MEDIA PVT LTD, 2016) SALMAN, ANDAÇ; Ergun, Tulin; Seckin, Dilek; Salman, Andac; Ocak, Esra Sarac; Yucelten, Ayse Deniz; Direskeneli, Haner; Demirkesen, Cuyan; Ekinci, Gazanfer; Bayik, MahmutEosinophilic fasciitis is an uncommon connective tissue disease that may mimic and overlap with other sclerosing disorders such as morphea and lichen sclerosus. Herein, we report four patients (two men and two women, aged 16-64 yeas) with eosinophilic fasciitis. There was overlap with both morphea and lichen sclerosus in 2 patients and with morphoea alone in 1 patient. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used for diagnosis in three patients and for assessing treatment response in one patient. Eosinophilic fasciitis may co-exist with morhoea and lichen sclerosus. In view of the overlapping clinical and histopathological features of these disorders, MRI may be helful in delineating the conditions by detecting involvement of fascia.Publication Open Access Cutaneous leishmaniasis mimicking verrucous carcinoma: A case with an unusual clinical course(WOLTERS KLUWER MEDKNOW PUBLICATIONS, 2015) SALMAN, ANDAÇ; Salman, Andac; Yucelten, Ayse Deniz; Seckin, Dilek; Ergun, Tulin; Demircay, ZeynepPublication Open Access Impact of psoriasis in the quality of life of children, adolescents and their families: a cross-sectional study(SOC BRASILEIRA DERMATOLOGIA, 2018-12) SALMAN, ANDAÇ; Salman, Andac; Yucelten, Ayse Deniz; Sarac, Esra; Saricam, Merve Hatun; Perdahli-Fis, NeseBACKGROUND: Psoriasis is a chronic and inflammatory disease that impairs quality of life and causes psychological symptoms. Despite the high prevalence of psoriasis in pediatric patients, studies investigating the impact of psoriasis in the quality of life of children, adolescents and families are sparse. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of psoriasis in the quality of life of children and adolescents with psoriasis and their families and to determine depression and anxiety levels of the patients. METHODS: A total of 58 patients with psoriasis aged 7-18 years (median age: 11) and a family member of each patient were included in the study. Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI), Family Dermatology Life Quality Index (FDLQI), Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC) were used in the study. RESULTS: The median PASI score of the patients included in the study was 1.8. The median CDLQI and FDLQI scores in the study groups were 5 and 10, respectively. The median CDI score, STAIC-state and STAIC-trait scores of the patients were 6,28 and 325, respectively. STUDY LIMITATIONS: Lack of a control group and patient assessment of disease severity. Relatively mild disease severity of the subjects. CONCLUSIONS: Psoriasis has a negative impact in the quality of life of children, adolescents and their families, even in the presence of mild disease. Considering that impairment in quality of life may be associated with psychosocial morbidity, a combined approach with medical therapy, family counseling and quality of life assessment may be beneficial in this patient group.Publication Open Access Spina bifidalı hastada ağır nöropatik ülser ve fungal dermatit(2013-10-01) ÇİÇEK DENİZ, NESLİHAN; YILDIZ, NURDAN; YÜCELTEN, AYŞE DENİZ; ALPAY, HARİKA; Aksu Ç., ÇİÇEK DENİZ N., YILDIZ N., YÜCELTEN A.

C., Martínez-Blanco M., Wang M., Fong J., Massaad M. J., Sefer A. P., Kara A., et al.Background: Inborn errors of immunity have been implicated in causing immune dysregulation, including allergic diseases. STAT6 is a key regulator of allergic responses. Objectives: This study sought to characterize a novel gain-of-function STAT6 mutation identified in a child with severe allergic manifestations. Methods: Whole-exome and targeted gene sequencing, lymphocyte characterization, and molecular and functional analyses of mutated STAT6 were performed. Results: This study reports a child with a missense mutation in the DNA binding domain of STAT6 (c.1114G>A, p.E372K) who presented with severe atopic dermatitis, eosinophilia, and elevated IgE. Naive lymphocytes from the affected patient displayed increased TH2- and suppressed TH1- and TH17-cell responses. The mutation augmented both basal and cytokine-induced STAT6 phosphorylation without affecting dephosphorylation kinetics. Treatment with the Janus kinase 1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib reversed STAT6 hyperresponsiveness to IL-4, normalized TH1 and TH17 cells, suppressed the eosinophilia, and improved the patient\"s atopic dermatitis. Conclusions: This study identified a novel inborn error of immunity due to a STAT6 gain-of-function mutation that gave rise to severe allergic dysregulation. Janus kinase inhibitor therapy could represent an effective targeted treatment for this disorder.Publication Open Access Neonatal lupus erythematosus: Report of a case with cutaneous, hematological and hepatobiliary findings(TURKISH J PEDIATRICS, 2016) SALMAN, ANDAÇ; Salman, Andac; Saricam, Merve Hatun; Yucelten, Ayse Deniz; Demirkesen, Cuyan; Ergun, TulinNeonatal lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disorder mainly affecting the heart and skin. It is the most common cause of congenital heart block. In addition, hematological, hepatobiliary and neurological involvement may occur. Herein, we report a 23-day-old infant presented with annular, erythematous, and scaly and atrophic lesions on the face and trunk. Based on the clinical, laboratory and histopathological findings, she was diagnosed as neonatal lupus erythematosus. Neonatal lupus eryhtematosus should be considered in infants presenting with annular skin lesions, and we present this case to highlight the value of high index of clinical suspicion in diagnosis.Publication Open Access Kidney and Urinary Tract Involvement in Epidermolysis Bullosa: Is Routine Follow-Up Necessary?(MATTIOLI 1885, 2021-05-20) YÜCELTEN, AYŞE DENİZ; Cicek, Neslihan; Yildiz, Nurdan; Asadov, Ruslan; Yucelten, Ayse Deniz; Tugtepe, Halil; Alpay, HarikaBackground: Several renal and urinary tract complications have been reported in patients with epidermolysis bullosa. Objective: This study investigated kidney and urinary tract involvement in patients with epidermolysis bullosa. Patients and Methods: Patients with epidermolysis bullosa in treatment at the Dermatology Unit were included in the study. Glomerular and tubular functions were investigated. Results: The study included 16 patients (4 females, 12 males) of mean 11.1 years (SD = 8.1 years). Estimated GFR was normal in all patients except one with end-stage renal disease. Excluding this patient, the urinary albumin/creatinine ratio and the fractional excretion of sodium were normal. The mean beta-2 microglobulin/creatinine ratio was 278.8 Rig, and it was abnormally high in 2 patients. The mean tubular phosphorus reabsorption was 92.6%; it was abnormally low in 1 patient. Severe kidney or urinary tract involvement was present in 2 patients with recessive dystrophic EB-generalized severe (RDEB-GS): one patient had obstructive bullous lesions in the urethra; the other had end-stage renal disease secondary to focal segmental glomeruloscierosis and was on peritoneal dialysis for 3 years. Conclusions: Assessment for renal and urinary tract involvement should become a routine part of the evaluation of patients with any type of ER, but especially of patients with RDEB-GS. Patients with mild tubular dysfunction need long-term follow-up to detect early deterioration of renal function.
