Congenital infiltrating lipomatosis of the face: Case report.

A rare disorder called congenital infiltrating lipomatosis of the face is characterized by a diffuse fatty infiltration of the soft tissues of the face. Muscle involvement and related bony hyperplasia may coexist. This particular form of lipomatous tumor is rare and typically appears in childhood.

Radiology of malignant degeneration of pilonidal sinus: Report of a case and review of the literature.

Pilonidal sinus disease is a frequent and recurrent pathology in young adults, with a male predominance, while malignant transformation of the pilonidal sinus is a rare complication, it occurs in 0.1% of patients, with a poor prognosis. Early surgical removal of the primary lesion remains the best treatment.

Hydatid pulmonary embolism secondary to a right ventricular hydatid cyst: A case report.

Hydatid pulmonary embolism is an exceptional but serious condition. It complicates the rupture of a hydatid cyst in the venous return circulation, often of hepatic origin, or the endo-cavitary rupture of a hydatid cyst in the right heart. We report the case of a young patient with hydatid pulmonary embolism revealed by recurrent episodes of hemoptysis.

Pseudotumor pulmonary sarcoidosis: A case report.

Sarcoidosis is a benign multisystem granulomatosis of unknown etiology. The mediastino-hilar sphere is a preferred site for the disease. It can sometimes reveal a confusing pseudotumoral presentation, constituting a diagnostic trap to be considered.

Histopathologic and Molecular Features of Cutaneous Melanoma in a Moroccan Population.

Background Cutaneous cancer is the most common malignancy type, among which melanomas are considered the most aggressive and lethal. In Morocco, skin melanoma is the 25th most common cancer. To our knowledge, this is the first and largest Moroccan study specifically describing cutaneous melanoma.

Malignant pelvic paraganglioma: A case report.

Pheochromocytomas arising from outside the adrenal glands are called paragangliomas and constitute a rare disease and can occur in the pelvic retroperitoneum. Symptoms of excess catecholamine production, as well as elevated urine vanillylmandelic acid levels and serum and urine norepinephrine levels, are highly diagnostic for paraganglioma. Imaging can be helpful for the diagnostic of these pelvic tumors, differentiating them from other pelvic masses.

Perineal and pelvic aggressive angiomyxoma: Imaging finding in an uncommon case report.

Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare benign and locally invasive mesenchymal tumor that is found most frequently in women at reproductive age. We report typical CT and MRI appearances of a 36-year old young woman with an aggressive angiomyxoma of the pelvis and perineum that was proved by ultrasound guided biopsy.This study describe the imaging features of theses tumors,wich may help to approch the diagnosis by their distinctive imaging with high signal intensity on T2-weighted image related to the myxomatous stroma and their characteristic of swirling or layering internal pattern after intravenous gadolinium contrast administration.

Intratracheal migration of two Kirschner wires after surgery for a clavicle fracture.

Kirschner wire is frequently used in orthopedic surgery, and migration is not exceptional. Intrathoracic migration is well-known, especially after surgery on the shoulder girdle, however, intratracheal migration is extremely rare. We describe a case of intratracheal migration of two Kirschner wires in a 41-year-old man who had them placed two years previously for a right clavicle fracture.

Pulmonary and intracranial miliary tuberculosis secondary to Behçet's anti-TNF alfa treatment.

Behçet disease is a rare vasculitis that affects vessels of different body parts, causing different kinds of manifestations. We report a case of a 47 years old woman who had a tumor necrosis factor alfa blocker prescription due to a Behçet's disease relapse. The patient then developed a cerebral and pulmonary tuberculous miliary due to immunodeficiency.

[Gayet-Wernicke encephalopathy: clinical features and radiological anomalies].

Gayet Wernicke encephalopathy (EGW) is a neurological emergency secondary to thiamine deficiency (vitamin B1). This is more often secondary to chronic alcoholism. The purpose of this study is to remind clinicians of some clinical signs different from ethylism, suggesting EGW as well as to report four cases characterized by different types of anomalies shown by MRI.

[Multiple gastrointestinal stromal masses in the small bowel detected in a patient with peritonitis].

We here report a case of multiple gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) in the small bowel detected in a patient with peritonitis. The peculiarity of this case study is the intraoperative detection of multifocal small bowel tumor masses, suggesting gastrointestinal stromal tumors on postoperative CT scan. Tumor couldn't be suspected clinically on the basis of peritonitis.

[Sturge-Weber-Krabbe Syndrome: an uncommon disorder (about a case)].

We report a case of Sturge-Weber-Krabbe Syndrome diagnosed in the Department of Radiology at the Hassan II University Hospital in Fes. This study highlights the clinical diagnostic and therapeutic features as well as the evolutionary characteristics of this uncommon neuroradiologic disorder.

[Rare localization of lipoma in the parotid region: about a case].

Lipomas localization in the parotid region is very rare. We here report a new case of a 55-year old patient, presenting with a mass in the parotid region that had progressed over the past 4 years and a literature review. A soft, mobile and painless mass was detected on palpation.

[Surgical treatment of calcaneal fractures: about 29 cases].

Calcaneal fractures are infrequent but, more often, serious. We report a series of 29 cases of calcaneal fractures surgically treated in the Orthopaedics and Traumatology in the University Hospital (CHU) Hassan II of Fez. This retrospective study aims to present the principles and to evaluate the results of surgical treatment for articular fractures of the calcaneus, in comparison with conservative treatment.

Isolated radial volar dislocation of the fifth carpometacarpal joint: a rare injury.

Isolated palmar dislocation of the fifth carpometacarpal joint is an uncommon injury and classified as radio-palmar or ulno-palmar according to the direction of displacement of the fifth metacarpal base. This very rare injury is often difficult to recognize. A careful neurologic assessment of the patient is a necessity, as well as obtaining proper radiographs of the hand.
