Abstract

Sarcina ventriculi is a gram-positive anaerobic coccus with characteristic tetrad morphology. Sarcina ventriculi is identified by light microscopy with features of basophilic staining, cuboidal shape, tetrad morphology, and re-fractile nature. There have been very few case reports of Sarcina ventriculi reported in the literature. We present a case of a 53-year-old male, with gastric ulcer perforation where peritonitis was incidentally found to harbor Sarcina ventriculi in postmortem histopathological examination. Most of the cases exhibit abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and delayed gastric emptying. It has also fatal life-threatening complications, such as gastric perforation and emphysematous gastritis. The histopathological examination has a key role for identification of the bacteria. The pathologist must always keep it in mind these bacteria as a cause of gastric ulcer perforation in the differential diagno-sis. We want to present a case of a 53-year-old male gastric ulcer perforation who was found dead in his bed.

Özet

Sarcina ventriculi, karakteristik tetrad morfolojisi olan gram pozitif ana-erobik koktur. Bazofilik boyanması, küboidal şekli, tetrad morfolojisi ve ref-raktil yapısı ile ışık mikroskobunda tanınır. Literatürde Sarcina ventriculi ile ilgili az sayıda vaka bildirilmiştir. Biz erkek gastrik ülser perforasyonu ve peritonit ile prezente olan 53 yaşındaki erkek olguda postmortem incelemede insidental olarak Sarcina ventriculi bakterisini tespit ettik. Olguların çoğu ka-rın ağrısı, bulantı, kusma ve gecikmiş gastrik boşalma ile prezente olmakta-dır. Gastrik perforasyon ve amfizematöz gastrit gibi yaşamı tehdit eden fatal komplikasyonlara yol açabilmektedir. Histopatolojik inceleme tanıda anahtar rol oynamaktadır. Bu bakteri gastrik ülser perforasyonun ayırıcı tanısında patolog tarafından her zaman akılda tutulmalıdır. Çalışmamızda mide ülser perforasyonu nedeni ile ölen ve yatağında ölü bulunan 53 yaşında erkek olgu sunulmuştur.
