Hémangiome surrénalien: à propos d’un cas

L’hémangiome surrénalien est une entité histologique très rare appartenant au groupe des incidentalomes. Il est souvent asymptomatique, de découverte fortuite lors d’un examen d’imagerie sollicité par une autre affection abdominale. Nous rapportons dans ce travail un seul cas permettant d’étoffer la série internationale qui reste jusqu’à nos jours très limitée.Mots clés: Hémangiome, glande surrénale, hémangiome caverneux, laparoscopieEnglish Title: Adrenal gland hemangioma: about a caseEnglish AbstractAdrenal gland hemangioma is a very rare histologic entity belonging to the group of incidentalomas. It is often asymptomatic, unexpectedly detected during imaging examination and resulting from another abdominal affection. We here report a single case to further enrich international case series which are still very limited.Keywords: Hemangioma, adrenal gland, cavernous hemangioma, laparoscop

Intranodal palisaded myofibroblastoma: a case report from an unusual site

Intranodal palisaded myofibroblastoma is a rare lymph node benign tumor, of unknown pathogenesis. Although benign, this lesion is frequently confused with metastatic lesions, especially in atypical sites. We report a  39-year-old man with a history of testicular malignant mixed germ cell tumor, presented with abdominal  painless mass. The computed tomography of the abdomen confirmed the presence of 180 × 140 mm2 mass in the retroperitoneum with  lympadenopathy on the right measuring 20 x 15 mm. The patient underwent  exploratory laparotomy, and a surgical exerese of the retroperitoneeum lymph node  was made. Histological and immunohistochemical examination confirmed the diagnosis of intranodal palissaded myofibroblastoma. This entity has been previously, only once, in retroperitoneal region. Despite to the rarity of this  neoplasm, we discuss clinicopathologic features and differential diagnosis.Key words: Intranodal palisaded myofibroblastoma, retroperitoneum, lymph nod

Isolated primary hydatid cyst of small intestinal mesentery: an exceptional location of hydatid disease

Hydatid disease is an endemic problem in some areas of the world. Common sites include liver and lungs. We report an unusual case of isolated primary Hydatid cyst of small gut mesentery. Characteristics of this uncommon location, mechanism, diagnostic difficulties, and treatment are discussed.Pan African Medical Journal 2012; 13:1

Giant splenic cysts discovered incidentally after early abortion

Splenic cysts are rare tumors, grouped into parasitic and non-parasitic cysts, no-parasitic cysts are further classified into primary and secondary cysts depending on the mucous membrane of the cyst, radiological imaging allows the diagnosis to be made but confirmation of the diagnosis is based on an atom-o-pathological examination of the part. surgical treatment is the cornerstone of symptomatic and complicated splenic cysts. The conservative treatment is a reference for splenic cysts. We report the case of a young woman who was presented with a simple cyst of the spleen

L’occlusion intestinale aigue gravidique - à propos de cinq cas

L’occlusion intestinale survient rarement au cours de la grossesse mais elle s’accompagne d’une morbidité et mortalité maternelle et fœtale élevées souvent dues au retard diagnostic et thérapeutique. Les auteurs rapportent cinq cas d’obstruction intestinale gravidique, et revoient la littérature afin de discuter les mécanismes physiopathologiques, les difficultés diagnostiques et thérapeutiques et de proposer une conduite à tenir adéquate

Mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasms of the right colon: a case report

Mixed neuroendocrine-non neuroendocrine neoplasm (MiNENs) is a rare gastrointestinal neoplasm that has been redefined by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2017 as the association of two types of components, neuroendocrine and non-neuroendocrine, each of them present in at least 30% of the tumour mass. Small case reports and case series have demonstrated the occurrence of this neoplasm in the colon. We here report the case of a 47-year-old man undergoing colonscopy for anemia. This showed impassable polypoidal tumor budding in the right colic flexure. Computerized tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed the presence of liver metastases. As the tumor was hemorrhagic, right hemicolectomy with lymph node dissection was performed. The histological examination showed MiNEN of the ascending colon. The patient received adjuvant chemotherapy

Stratégie thérapeutique des cholécystites aigües gravido-puerpérales. A propos de quatre cas.

Les cholécystites aigues gravido-puerpérales sont relativement rares. Elles posent un problème diagnostique et thérapeutique. Le pronostic maternel et fœtal est conditionné par un diagnostic précoce et une prise en charge  multidisciplinaire. Les auteurs rapportent quatre cas de cholécystite aigue  survenant au cours de la grossesse, et revoient  la littérature afin de  discuter les difficultés diagnostiques et thérapeutiques et de proposer  une conduite à tenir adéquate
