[An unusual adrenal tumor: Ewing tumor].

We report the case of a voluminous tumor of the adrenal diagnosed in a young pregnant woman at 26(th) week of amenorrhea. Morphologically, a soft white tumor with haemorragic areas was observed, made of sheets of monomorphous, medium sized, spindle-shaped to polygonal, with high mitotic activity. Tumorous cells expressed cytokeratins AE1/AE3, EMA, and CD99 (expression of vimentin is not relevant).

Management of Cushing's syndrome due to ectopic adrenocorticotropin secretion with 1,ortho-1, para'-dichloro-diphenyl-dichloro-ethane: findings in 23 patients from a single center.

Context: Effective treatment for the ectopic ACTH secretion syndrome (EAS) remains a therapeutic challenge. Immediate curative surgery of the responsible nonpituitary tumor is often not possible.

Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate 1,ortho-1, para'-dichloro-diphenyl-dichloro-ethane (O,p'DDD) therapy in EAS.

Intravenous ketoprofen in thyroid and parathyroid surgery.

Unlabelled: We compared the ketoprofen-propacetamol combination relative to propacetamol alone in thyroid and parathyroid surgery in terms of postoperative analgesic efficacy, bleeding, and incidence of nausea and vomiting to determine whether ketoprofen results in any benefit in this type of surgery. Patients were distributed in two parallel groups to be managed by anesthesiologists habitually prescribing (Ketoprofen group) or not prescribing (Control group) ketoprofen in this situation. The same anesthetic technique was used for all patients.
