Une tumeur neuroectodermique primitive périphérique à localisation gastrique primaire: à propos d’un nouveau cas
Les tumeurs neuro-ectodermiques primitives ou sarcome d’Ewing sont classiquement des néoplasmes se développant aux dépends des tissus mous et des os. Les tumeurs neuro-ectodermiques primitives gastriques (pPNETs) sont extrêmement rares. Nous nous proposons, à travers le cas d’un patient, opéré pour une tumeur gastrique, d’étudier les aspects cliniques, radiologiques, anatomopathologiques et thérapeutiques des tumeurs neuro-ectodermiques primitives périphériques. A notre connaissance ce patient illustre le troisième cas de tumeur gastrique d’origine neuro-ectodermique décrite chez l’adulte
Pancreatic transection due to blunt trauma
Blunt fractures of the pancreas are rare and serious lesions. An isolated injury to the pancreas is uncommon. Physical signs and laboratory parameters are often inaccurate, and missing the diagnosis can cause serious clinical problems. We report a case of a 28-year-old woman with blunt pancreatic trauma in whom computed tomography revealed a fracture through the tail of the pancreas. It was complicated by pseudocyst formation. She was treated surgically with good outcome. This case is a reminder that pancreatic injuries should be considered in the differential diagnosis in cases of blunt abdominal trauma. Also, the clinician should be aware that when pancreatic injuries are managed conservatively, the clinical, radiological, and laboratory parameters need to be monitored till resolution
Torsion of a Wandering Spleen
Wandering spleen is a rare condition defined as a mobile spleen only attached with its pedicle. It can be complicated by a volvulus, which is a surgical abdominal emergency. Preventing infarction is the aim of a prompt surgery that can preserve the spleen and then proceed to splenopexy. We report a rare case of torsion of a wandering spleen associated with a dolichosigmoĂŻd
