Kyste hydatique pulmonaire chez l’enfant traité par thoracoscopie: huit ans d’expérience
L'échinococcose kystique est une pathologie fréquente en zone d'endémie: pourtour méditerranéen, Afrique de l'est et l'Amérique du Sud. L'hydatidose reste à l'heure actuelle un problème majeur de santé publique. Notre travail consiste en une étude rétrospective de 27 malades opérés pour kyste hydatique pulmonaire (KHP) par thoracoscopie, au service de chirurgie pédiatrique du centre hospitalier universitaire HASSAN II à Fès, sur une période de huit ans allant de janvier 2004 au décembre 2011.Key words: Kyste hydatique, thoracoscopie, enfant, Maro
Cervical hibernoma in a two year old boy
Hibernomas are uncommon benign soft tissue tumours mimicking brown fat. They are mostly seen in the fourth and fifth decades of life. Only few cases in the cervical area have been reported. Because of its rarity in pediatrics and diffcult diagnosis, we report a tow year-old patient with a cervical tumor. Ultrasound and computed tomography exams showed an infiltrative, with hypervascular and lipomatous features. After tumor excision,  histopathological exam confirmed the diagnosis of hibernoma or brown fat tumor. This presentation describes the characteristics of this type of tumor, rare in children
A case report of a huge congenital granular cell epulis operated under local anesthesia
Congenital granular cell epulis (CGCE) is a very rare benign soft tissue lesion of the neonate, it most frequently located on the anterior maxillary alveolar ridge. It has a female predilection. It is a tumor with no tendency to recur after excision. The exact histogenesis of this tumor remains unresolved and it may be hamartomata.Key words: Congenital granular cell tumor, gingival tumor, newborn, local anesthesi
Le tératome cervical: A propos de 2 cas
Le tératome est une tumeur embryonnaire généralement localisé au niveau sacro-coccygien. La localisation cervicale est rare, et ne représente que3%, elle est associée à un fort taux de mortalité arrivant jusqu’à 80 % à la période néonatale du fait de l’obstruction des voies aériennes.L’immaturité n’est pas un signe de malignité quand la tumeur est prise en charge à la période néonatale. Nous rapportons 2 cas colligés au servicede chirurgie pédiatrique du CHU HASSAN II de Fès, en mettant en relief qu’il existe encore un manque de diagnostic anténatal, malgrél’amélioration de la prise en charge des nouveaux nés.Key words: Tératome cervical géant, nouveau né, chirurgi
Gastric Diverticulum in the Child: Disease or Radiological Curiosity?
Gastric diverticula are rare in childhood. Usually, they are incidentally diagnosed on radiographic examination or seen in upper endoscopy. Eleven year old girl reported chronic abdominal pain with a gastric diverticulum. On the light of this case, we discuss epidemiologic, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and surgical treatment aspects. This last aspect consists of simple excision of the Diverticulum either in symptomatic or complicated forms of this pathology.

The authors report two cases of a trichobezoar obstructing the terminal ileum in one and the jejunum in another. African Journal of Paediatric Surgery Vol. 5 (1) 2008: pp. 48-5
Clinical Fact of Rectal Duplication with gastric heterotopy
Enteric duplication could occur through the entire alimentary tract. A case of rectal duplication cyst with
heterotopic gastric mucosa in a chid is described. MRI scan is shown useful in the diagnosis of the duplication. The treatment is the complete local resection of the rectal duplication.
