Signet Ring Cell Carcinoma of the Vater's Ampulla: A Very Rare Malignancy.

Most tumors affecting Vater's ampulla are adenocarcinomas, and other histological variants are less frequent. Signet ring cell carcinoma is more commonly found in the stomach than at other sites of the digestive system. Signet ring cell carcinoma of the Vater's ampulla is extremely rare, and only 15 cases have previously been described in the literature.

[Eosinophilic angiocentric fibrosis: a form of IgG4-related systemic disease?].

Eosinophilic angiocentric fibrosis is a rare fibro-inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology with only 40 cases reported in the literature. It primarily affects the sinonasal tract and more rarely the orbit, the larynx and the gums. This benign disorder is characterized by a slowly progressive process mimicking a tumor, with frequent recurrences after surgical excision and cortico-therapy.
