MİNÖR TÜKÜRÜK BEZİ BİYOPSİSİ YAPTIĞIMIZ HASTALARIN ÖZELLİKLERİ: OLGU SERİSİ

Sjögren Sendromu (SS) ayırıcı tanısında minör tükürük bezi biyopsisi (MTBB) Kulak Burun Boğaz Kliniklerinde sık yapılan bir işlem olmasına rağmen, Romatoloji Polikliniklerinde de uygulanmaya başlanan minör invaziv bir yöntemdir. Çalışmamızın amacı MTBB’nin Romatoloji pratiğinde SS tanısındaki yeri ve gerekliliğinin değerlendirilmesidir. Şişli Hamidiye Etfal Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Romatoloji Polikliniğine ağız ve/veya göz kuruluğu, eklem şikayetleri ile başvuran daha ziyade otoantikor negatif hastalara yapılan MTBB sonuçlarının değerlendirilmesi sonucunda SS tanısı konuldu. MTBB invaziv bir girişim olmasına rağmen SS ayırıcı tanısında kullanılan değerli bir tanı aracıdır.

THE CHARACTERISTICS OF PATIENTS WHO UNDERWENT THE MINOR SALIVARY GLAND BIOPSY: CASE SERIES

Although, minor salivary gland biopsy (MSGB) - a minor invasive method - is a common procedure undertaken for the definitive diagnosis of Sjörgen’s Syndrome (SS) in the ENT clinics, it is also increasingly carried out in the outpatient clinics of rheumatology. The objective of our study was to evaluate the place and the necessity of the MSGB regarding the diagnosis of SS in the rheumatology practice. Patients, who were rather autoantibody-negative and applied with joint complaints and mouth and/or eye dryness to the outpatient clinics of rheumatology in Şişli Hamidiye Etfal Training and Research Hospital, were diagnosed as SS upon evaluation of the results of MSGB. Although, MSGB is an invasive intervention, it is a valuable diagnostic tool for the definitive diagnosis of SS.
