Introduction And Importance: Fibroma, thecoma, and fibrothecoma collectively denote a range of non-cancerous sex cord-stromal tumors distinguished by the presence of fibroblastic stromal cells and/or cells resembling luteinized theca cells.
Case Presentation: In this report, we present a case study of a 52-year-old patient in whom this uncommon tumor was identified via MRI, highlighting the distinctive diagnostic and treatment considerations associated with it.
Clinical Discussion: Ovarian fibrothecoma tumors are infrequent, constituting less than 4 % of all ovarian tumors.
Introduction: Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome is a rare complex congenital disorder, presenting with obstructed vagina, uterus didelphys and ipsilateral renal agenesis. Hemivaginal obstruction firstly asymptomatic, leads to symptoms after menarche such as dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain or infertility.
Case Presentation: A 15-year-old patient presenting with few symptoms, transvaginal ultrasound reveals an hematocolpos, we report also typical findings of this disorder on magnetic resonance imaging.
Introduction: Parietal endometriosis is the most common form of extra-pelvic endometriosis. It develops on the surgical scar of c-section or hysterectomy. It is one of the causes of scar pain.

Its evolution is marked by the occurrence of severe vascular, digestive and obstetrical complications. The current case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and physician awareness about this disorder as it can improve the patient's prognosis.

Morocco is an endemic area with more than 30,000 new cases of all forms of tuberculosis each year (Plan stratégique national 2018-2021 de lutte antituberculeuse, 2018). UGTB is the second most frequent localization after lymph node involvement and is responsible for 30 to 40% of all extrapulmonary cases.

These secondary malignant neoplasms are most commonly squamous cell carcinomas. The absence of clinical and radiological specificity of this transformation means that the diagnosis remains purely histological.

The most frequently advanced etiology is a defect in the fusion and/or channelling of the urogenital sinus and Mullerian conductors. This structural obstruction can completely obstruct the vagina and thus can cause a haematocolpos associated with cyclic pelvic pain shortly after menarche in adolescent girls.

We report the uncommon case of a 14-year-old girl with a primary amenorrhea associated to a cyclical pelvic pain, in whom examination objectified a vaginal cup that replaced the introitus. Ultrasound examination and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed atresia of the lower third of the vagina.

The clinic, mammography and ultrasound sometimes allow us to suspect the hydatid nature of the lesion. The definitive diagnosis remains histological and the treatment is always surgical.

Methods: This case-control study was done in 27 breast cancer patients with no visible metastatic disease treated at the gynecology service, Maternity Souissi Hospital, Rabat, Morocco. Two groups were selected, ie, patients with positive and negative HER2 status in mammary tissue.
The tumor marker CA 15-3 is one of the most import reliable for metastatic breast cancer monitoring. While it is generally assessed in serum of patients, blood sampling is an invasive method compared to saliva sampling which is simple and could be an alternative to blood according to many studies. The aim of this investigation was to assess the relationship between serum and salivary concentrations of the protein CA 15-3 in patients with breast cancer and healthy asymptomatic volunteers.
