Cyclosporine-related posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome after heart transplantation: should we withdraw or reduce cyclosporine?: case reports.

Cyclosporine (CsA) related encephalopathy has not been well documented after heart transplantation. We report 2 cases of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES). The first case was a 68-year-old woman who underwent heart transplantation and received immunosuppression with mycophenolate mofetil, prednisone, and CsA.

[Radiation-induced cancer after treatment of mediastinal seminoma. Apropos of a case].

Radiation-induced cancer is a rare complication of radiotherapy. The diagnosis relies on chronological, topographical and histological data distinguishing the lesion from tumoural relapse. We report the case of a second cancer, meeting the criteria of radiation-induced malignancy, and attempt to define the frequency, clinical situations and risk man.

[Isolated pleuropulmonary metastases of uterine sarcoma].

We report the case of a 52-year old post-menopausal woman in whom the finding of a right paravertebral mediastinal and pulmonary mass and a homolateral pleural effusion revealed the presence of a large uterine tumour. Pleural fluid cytology was in favour of an undifferentiated tumour, and biopsy of the endometrium pointed to a connective tissue tumour. Following immunohistochemical staining, hysterectomy combined with adnexectomy confirmed the diagnosis of uterine sarcoma.
