Primary thyroid lymphoma: a case series.

Introduction: Primary Thyroid Lymphoma (PTL) is defined as lymphoma involving the thyroid gland alone or the thyroid gland and adjacent neck lymph nodes without contiguous spread or distant metastases at the time of diagnosis. Most thyroid lymphomas are B cell lymphomas, and 98% of all PTL cases are non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. It is a rare disease accounting for around 5% of the thyroid neoplasms and 2% of extranodal lymphomas.

Fertility-Sparing Surgery in Infiltrative Mucinous Carcinoma of the Ovary.

Introduction: Mucinous ovarian carcinoma is often diagnosed early and can affect young patients. The preservation of the female reproductive organ is one of the critical issues, especially for nulliparous women. This case report aims to reconsider the safe outcome of fertility-sparing surgery for infiltrative type mucinous ovarian carcinoma.

Surgical resection of a massive residual retroperitoneal mass after chemotherapy for a paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma: a case report.

Introduction: Paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare and aggressive mesenchymal tumor, accounting for only 7% of all rhabdomyosarcomas. It is mainly encountered in children and adolescents. The standard treatment consists of radical orchidectomy with negative surgical margins.

Intraabdominal and ganglionic desmoplastic small round cell tumor: a case series.

Introduction: Desmoplastic small round cell tumor is a rare malignancy with poor prognosis, affecting young male patients. It frequently presents as a large abdominal mass with widespread peritoneal involvement at diagnosis. In late stages, metastases may be present.

Uterine cervix metastasis from primary colon adenocarcinoma: a case report and review of the literature.

Introduction: Metastases to the female genital tract from extragenital primary tumors are unusual. We report a rare case of uterine cervix metastasis from colon adenocarcinoma and discuss diagnostic and therapeutic issues.

Case Report: We report a case of a 38-year-old North African Caucasian woman treated for a non-metastatic colon adenocarcinoma.

Primary ectopic axillary breast cancer: a case series.

Introduction: Ectopic breast tissue is present in 2-6% of women. Ectopic breast cancer represents an uncommon disease accounting for about 0.3% of all breast neoplasms, limiting the available evidence.

Chemoradiotherapy or chemotherapy as adjuvant treatment for resected gastric cancer: should we use selection criteria?

Background: The management of gastric adenocarcinoma is essentially based on surgery followed by adjuvant treatment. Adjuvant chemotherapy (CT) as well as chemoradiotherapy (CTRT) have proven their effectiveness in survival outcomes compared to surgery alone. However, there is little data comparing the two adjuvant approaches.

Giant Darier-Ferrand dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans of the abdomen and pelvis: a case report.

Background: Darier-Ferrand dermatofibrosarcoma (DFS) is a rare malignant cutaneous neoplasm characterized by local aggressiveness, high risk of recurrence, and low metastatic potential.

Case Presentation: A 60-year-old Tunisian man with recurrent abdominopelvic DFS for which he had undergone multiple excisions presented with an extensive DFS that invaded the external genitals. He underwent a large excision with emasculation and thin cutaneous graft of the abdominal wall and local skin flap in the pelvis.

Breast tuberculosis: a case series.

Background And Aim: Breast tuberculosis is a rare disease, even in endemic areas. The diagnosis can be challenging, as it can mimic breast cancer. We aim to report our experience and discuss diagnoses and management modalities.

Pure Ductal Carcinoma in Situ in The Male Breast: A Rare Entity.

Pure ductal carcinoma in situ of male breast (DCIS) is extremely rare. Only a few cases have been reported until now. Its treatment is not well established.

A Single Liver Metastasis From Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of the Parotid Gland: Case Report.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is an uncommon malignant neoplasm of the salivary gland. Liver metastasis from salivary gland cancer is a rare situation. In this article, we report the case of a 29-year-old woman treated 5 years previously for adenoid cystic carcinoma of the parotid gland by surgery and radiotherapy, who presented for a large hypervascularized hepatic metastasis of 20 cm.

Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans of the Breast in Man: An Extremely Rare Entity With a Review of the Literature.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare sarcoma of soft tissue representing about 1% of all tumors. In addition, DFSP occurs commonly on the trunk and extremities, and only a few cases of DFSP have been observed on the breast. In men, only 11 cases, including this case, have been reported.

Vulvar Darier-Ferrand dermatofibrosarcoma: unusual localization of a rare tumor.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a low-to-intermediate grade sarcoma of dermal origin that rarely presents in the vulva, typically occurring on the trunk of young to middle-aged adults. Even though it has a low potential for distant metastases, it often recurs locally. Therefore, surgical excision is the treatment of choice.

Costal chondrosarcoma mimicking a breast cancer: Case report and review of literature.

Introduction: Chondrosarcoma (CS) was the third most common primary bone malignancy. Frequently chondrosarcoma was occurring in long bones or in the pelvis. Their localization in the rib is rare.

[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.

Borderline tumors of the ovary.

Background: Borderline tumors of the ovary (BOT) were described for the first time by Taylor in 1929. These lesions have a more favorable outcome than do other ovarian cancers. Their prognosis and treatment are still subject of discussion since they occurred more often in young women where the sparing fertility surgery is always considered primarily.

Results of second-look laparotomy in advanced ovarian cancer: one single center experience.

Objective. The goal of the study was to analyse the results of 85 cases of second-look laparotomy (SLL) and explore the influence of this procedure on survival. Patients and Methods.

[Radio-histological correlation of microcalcifications of the breast: a Tunisian center experience].

Purpose: Evaluation of surgical biopsy for mammary microcalcifications, in Tunisian patients according to the American College of Radiology's recommandations (ACR).

Material And Methods: [corrected] 100 patients treated in Salah Azaiez Institute from January 2005 to December 2006, who underwent surgical biopsy for breast microcalcifications The diagnosis was based on mammography associated in 60% of the cases, to ultra-sonography. We correlated biopsies results to ACR classification.
