Métastases cutanées révélant un adénocarcinome bronchique
Nous rapportons le cas d’un cancer bronchique révélé par des nodules cutanés métastatiques du cuir chevelu. Ce mode de découverte assez fréquent est souvent associé à un mauvais pronostic. Cette observation souligne l’intérêt de rechercher un cancer primitif pulmonaire en cas de localisation secondaire cutanée.English abstractWe report the case of bronchial carcinoma revealed by metastatic skin nodules on the scalp.

Unusual location of myxopapillary ependymoma in the sacrum: Case report and review of the literature
Myxopapillary ependymoma, a rare variant of ependymoma, commonly occurs in the conus medullaris or filum terminale. The rarity of these tumors can make their diagnosis and treatment challenging. This case report presents an atypical occurrence of myxopapillary ependymoma within the sacrum in a 68-year-old patient presented with a 3-month history of persistent left-sided low back pain radiating to the legs and fecal dysfunction. The patient underwent a sacral laminectomy and subtotal excision of the tumor, followed by adjuvant radiotherapy with favorable outcomes.This report highlights the significance of tailored approaches for unconventional tumor locations emphasizes the potential benefits of multimodal treatment strategies and provides insights from a comprehensive literature review on similar cases
