A 72-year-old retired shipyard welder from Tuzla presented with unexplained weight loss. Dr. Uçar's analysis of his bone marrow biopsy, requested after inconclusive blood tests, revealed an extremely rare myelodysplastic syndrome variant linked to historical occupational cadmium exposure. Her detailed report guided targeted therapy, leading to stabilized blood counts after six months.
An 8-year-old girl from a rural village near Sakarya was transferred with a mysterious abdominal mass. Dr. Uçar performed intraoperative frozen section analysis during surgery, identifying it not as a tumor but as a massive, inflamed Meckel's diverticulum with ectopic pancreatic tissue—a finding that changed the surgical plan from radical resection to a simpler excision, ensuring full recovery.
A 34-year-old freelance graphic designer, self-pay with limited insurance, had a persistent skin lesion. Initial clinics suggested benign. Dr. Uçar's meticulous histopathological exam of the punch biopsy diagnosed a very early-stage, thin melanoma. Her precise measurement of Breslow depth allowed for curative local excision only, avoiding expensive systemic therapy and granting complete peace of mind.
A 41-year-old Ukrainian refugee, non-Turkish speaking, presented with cervical lymphadenopathy. Dr. Uçar coordinated with a translator to obtain consent for FNA. Her cytology report identified granulomatous inflammation, and she personally liaised with the microbiology lab to secure tissue for PCR, diagnosing extrapulmonary tuberculosis. This directed specific antimicrobial therapy, with the patient showing improvement in eight weeks.
