Monophasic synovial sarcoma presenting as a primary ileal mass: a case report and review of the literature

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Introduction</p> <p>Synovial sarcoma is a rare malignant mesenchymal tumor mainly arising in the peri-articular tissue in young adults. There are few cases reported in other areas.</p> <p>Case presentation</p> <p>We report the case of a 29-year-old Saudi woman of Arabian ethnicity with synovial sarcoma arising primarily from the ileum who presented with abdominal pain, a palpable mass and incomplete intestinal obstruction. A literature review was performed to gather information on this rare gastrointestinal tract sarcoma.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>Although it is a rare tumor of the pre-articular tissues, synovial sarcoma can present, in exceedingly rare cases, in unusual anatomical sites such as the gastrointestinal tract. We believe the reporting of all rare or unexpected presentations of sarcoma will eventually improve our understanding of this relatively unusual malignancy.</p

Toux chronique après gastroplastie par anneau modulable

National audienceIntroduction Patients are frequently referred for chronic cough. The causes are various. Case report We report two cases of chronic cough that occured after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding for treatment of morbid obesity. In both cases, the computed tomography scan showed an important oesophageal dilatation. The cough disappeared after the band deflation. Conclusion Oesophageal dilatation after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding is a new cause to be included in the aetiology of chronic cough.Introduction La toux chronique est un motif fréquent de consultation. Les causes en sont multiples. Cas cliniques Nous rapportons deux cas de toux chronique invalidante après mise en place d'un anneau modulable de gastroplastie pour obésité morbide. La tomodensitométrie thoracique a montré une dilatation majeure de l'oesophage avec une stase alimentaire. Le desserrage de l'anneau a permis la disparition complète de la toux. Conclusion La dilatation majeure de l'oesophage après gastroplastie par anneau modulable est une nouvelle cause à ajouter à l'étiologie des toux chroniques
