Pseudotumoral pelviperitoneal tuberculosis mimicking ovarian cancer: A case report.

Tuberculosis is a rare but treatable infectious disease that continues to pose a significant health issue in regions with high prevalence. Its abdominopelvic localization can mimic advanced ovarian cancer, leading to diagnostic challenges. This report describes the case of a 33-year-old woman who was admitted to the gastroenterology unit with ascites, peritoneal thickening, and an ovarian mass on imaging.

A rare case of Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm with gynecologic presentation.

Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare hematological malignancy characterized by the proliferation of plasmacytoid dendritic cells with a blast-like appearance. It usually presents in elderly people, and clinical manifestations include nodular blue-violet skin lesions, bone marrow infiltration and, less frequently, extramedullary involvement. Gynecological manifestation (breast mass and exocervical lesion) is an unusual and rare presentation.

Acute ischemic colitis complicating an exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A case report of gut-lung crosstalk.

Acute ischemic colitis is a pathology as frequent as it is serious and requires urgent management. It's often occurring in a context of particular thromboembolic or hypovolemic risk, but certain clinical situations are not commonly known to provide mesenteric ischemia. Herein, we report the case of a 47-year-old man who presented with a severe acute colitis occurring in the course of acute exacerbation of a chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases with maintained stability of hemodynamic state.

Diagnosis and prevalence of canine leishmaniasis in the Atlas shepherd dog.

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of canine leishmaniasis in the Atlas shepherd dogs from the Tiaret region of Algeria. A total of 161 dogs were included in this study and four diagnostic techniques were used, namely lymph node cytology, PCR, IFAT and ELISA. 110 out of 161 dogs were positive by at least one diagnostic technique, a percentage of 68.

Soft tissue metastasis revealing a case of acinar cell carcinoma of unknown primary origin.

Acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) is a rare neoplasm. It can be fatal in some cases and conventional chemotherapy may not be effective. To our knowledge, we report here the first case of ACC metastatic to soft tissues, from unknown origin.

High grade transformation of adenoid cystic carcinoma in the palate: Case report with review of literature.

Introduction: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare tumor developed in minor salivary glands, the palate being the most common site.

Case Presentation: Here, we report a case of a 58-year-old man with a 3-year-growing swelling in the right palate diagnosed with high grade transformation adenoid cystic carcinoma. The exam revealed a 4 cm large mass.

[Nephrogenic fibrosing dermatosis: From clinic to microscopy].

Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis is a rare entity occurred in patients with renal failure. It is related to toxicity to gadolinium, which is used as a contrast agent in magnetic resonance imaging. Clinic manifestations are variable.

Screening for Nephropathy in Diabetes Mellitus: Is Micral-Test Valid among All Diabetics?

Background. Using Micral-test (MT) for screening microalbuminuria (MA) among type 2 diabetics (T2D) is helpful. We aimed at determining prevalence of MA and at describing the MT validity.

Study of Ki67 and CD10 expression as predictive factors of recurrence of ameloblastoma.

Introduction: Ameloblastoma is a rare, benign, purely epithelial odontogenic tumour, characterized by a high potential for local invasion and recurrence.

Objective: To study the epidemiological and histological characteristics of ameloblastoma. To study Ki67 and CD10 immunostaining in ameloblastoma and to investigate a possible correlation between these two markers and recurrence of this tumour.

[Management of anorexia nervosa in a Tunisian case].

Background: Anorexia nervosa is a complex psychiatric illness that can lead to severe physical complications.

Objective: This work aimed to study the approach taken by the child psychiatry service of Razi hospital in the management of anorexia nervosa and to compare it with international recommendation.

Methods: We propose to illustrate by a case report and review international recommendations on this topic while undertaking a review of the literature based on a Medline search using the following keywords: anorexia, nervosa adolescence, management, guidelines.

Immunohistochemical expression pattern of MMR protein can specifically identify patients with colorectal cancer microsatellite instability.

The microsatellite instability (MSI) pathway is found in most cases of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) and in 12 % of sporadic colorectal cancer (CRC). It involves inactivation of deoxyribonucleic acid mismatch repair (MMR) genes MLH1, MSH2, PMS2, and MSH6. MMR germline mutation detections are an important supplement to HNPCC clinical diagnosis.

Autism: an overview of genetic aetiology.

Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder characterised by impairment in social interaction and in communication, with unusual behaviour. Genetic factors are predominant in autism pathogenesis. Interactions between multiple genes cause "idiopathic" autism but epigenetic factors and exposure to environmental modifiers may contribute to variable expression of autism-related traits.
