Introduction: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) poses a significant challenge in cancer patients, particularly those with advanced malignancies. The management of recurrent VTE is complicated by the need for effective anticoagulation while addressing the underlying cancer progression.
Cases: We present two clinical cases from the gastroenterology department at Percy French military hospital involving patients with progressive malignant digestive diseases.
Non-immune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) is a rare entity characterized by excessive accumulation of fluid within the fetal extravascular compartments and body cavities. Here we present two intrauterine fetal demises with NIHF presenting with oligohydramnios, cystic hygroma, pleural effusion, and generalized hydrops with predominance of subcutaneous edema.

Biomarker monitoring is thus considered an alternative or complementary approach to furan exposure assessment.
