M.D. Banu Ulusoy

Our 8-year-old daughter's recurring fevers baffled multiple specialists. Dr. Ulusoy examined her bone marrow biopsy slides for three days, noticing subtle cellular patterns others missed. She diagnosed a rare pediatric histiocytic disorder so uncommon that only 12 cases exist in medical literature. Her precise pathology report became the blueprint for an international treatment protocol that's now being studied worldwide.

After my motorcycle accident at 31, surgeons removed what they thought was damaged tissue from my abdomen. Dr. Ulusoy's pathology analysis revealed the 'damaged tissue' was actually a previously undetected desmoid tumor beginning malignant transformation. Her urgent intervention allowed immediate additional surgery that likely prevented a fatal outcome, turning an accidental discovery into a lifesaving diagnosis.

My 45-year-old husband's sudden neurological symptoms suggested multiple sclerosis, but Dr. Ulusoy's cerebrospinal fluid analysis told a different story. She identified specific antibody patterns indicating a paraneoplastic syndrome, then systematically searched for the hidden cancer. Her persistence located a microscopic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor invisible on all imaging—diagnosed purely through her pathological deduction.

As a 72-year-old retired botanist, I discovered a strange lesion on my tongue while examining plant specimens. Dr. Banu Ulusoy didn't just analyze the biopsy; she cross-referenced my case with rare fungal infections found in my botanical work. Her pathology report identified an exceptionally rare oral mycosis linked to tropical orchids I'd studied decades ago. Her detailed findings allowed targeted treatment that saved both my tongue and my ability to taste.
