Giant gluteal and vesical plexiform neurofibromas in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1: a case report.

Background: Neurofibromatosis type 1 is a neurocutaneous genetic disorder caused by mutations in the NF1 gene, resulting in the formation of benign tumors called neurofibromas. The most common type of tumor seen in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 is the slow-growing and benign neurofibroma, with a subtype called plexiform neurofibroma being particularly common and causing pain, functional impairment, and cosmetic disfigurement.

Case Presentation: We report the case of a 20-year-old North African female patient with a history of neurofibromatosis type 1 who presented with a growing mass in her right gluteal region, which was later diagnosed as a giant cutaneous neurofibroma.

Diagnosis and management of an extremely rare solitary fibrous tumor in the retropubic space of Retzius: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs), rare mesenchymal tumors, occur in diverse locations. Retroperitoneal and pelvic SFTs are extremely uncommon, challenging to identify due to vague clinical and radiological features. We present a high-risk SFT case in the retropubic Retzius space.

Identifying accessible prognostic factors for breast cancer relapse: a case-study on 405 histologically confirmed node-negative patients.

Background: Histologically, node-negative breast cancer generally have a good prognosis. However, 10 to 30% of the cases present local relapses or metastasis. This group of people has high chances of remission if detected early.

[Cutaneous melanoma: about 200 cases].

Aim: To analyze the clinical and pathological aspects of cutaneous melanoma and to determine the prognostic factors.

Methods: This is a retrospective study about 200 cases of cutaneous melanoma collected in Salah Azaiz Institute over a period of 36 years (1969-2005).

Results: The mean age was 55.
