Introduction And Importance: Occult breast cancer (OBC) is defined as a clinically recognizable metastatic carcinoma arising from an undetectable primary breast tumor.
Presentation Of Case: We report in this work 2 cases of occult breast cancer treated at the Mohammed VI center of onco-gynecology of the CHU of Casablanca.
Clinical Discussion: Significant advances in breast imaging have occurred since its description, decreasing its incidence.
Introduction And Importance: Squamous cell carcinoma associated with primary neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) of the breast, also known as composite tumor, is an extremely rare malignancy with a very poor prognosis.
Presentation Of Case: We report the case of a patient treated in our department for primary neuroendocrine carcinoma of the breast associated with squamous cell carcinoma by radical surgery.
Clinical Discussion: Diagnosis is based on histology and, above all, immunohistochemistry.
Introduction And Importance: Ovarian metastases of renal origin are rarely reported in the literature and pose a diagnostic problem because they are usually diagnosed at a distance from the primary cancer.
Presentation Of Case: We report a case of unilateral ovarian metastasis from clear cell renal cell carcinoma fifteen years after nephrectomy in a fifty-six-year-old patient who underwent surgery for an abdominopelvic mass.
Clinical Discussion: The diagnosis of ovarian metastases can be made at the same time as the diagnosis of the primary cancer or at a distance from it, with an interval ranging from a few months to years later.
Introduction And Importance: Paget's disease of the nipple is a rare form of ductal carcinoma in situ. It is often associated with an underlying breast cancer or, more rarely, may be isolated with no associated breast neoplasm.
Presentation Of Case: We report the case of a patient with extensive Paget's disease of the nipple without associated breast lesions, treated by mastectomy with coverage by a dorsalis major flap.
Chronic non puerperal uterine inversion is an extremely rare clinical condition. Puerperal inversion occurs in 85% of cases exposing women to the risk of postpartum cataclysmic hemorrhage. We here report the case of a 70-year old patient presenting with urogenital prolapse Stage III.
