Mesenteric desmoid tumor in its cystic form: Case report of a very rare variant.

Desmoid tumors, also known as deep fibromatosis or desmoid-type fibromatosis, represent a rare subset of deep fibromatoses. It is a locally aggressive tumor, with no specific symptoms, and no metastatic potential. We report a case of a 38-year-old male patient with an abdominal mass.

Vaginal botryoid rhabdomyosarcoma in an infant: A case report and review of the literature.

Botryoid rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare and aggressive malignancy that primarily affects the female genital tract in children. It arises from embryonal rhabdomyoblasts. The vagina is the most common site, but it can also occur, although rarely, in the cervix or uterine fundus.

Mesenteric inflammatory pseudotumor: A rare case report and review of the literature.

Inflammatory pseudotumor (IP) is a rare type of benign tumor. Although initially identified in the lung, it has now been identified in a number of somatic and visceral sites, but mesenteric presentation is uncommon and has a variable clinical presentation. As inflammatory pseudotumor mimic malignancy both clinically and radiologically, the radiologist should be familiar with this entity.

Primary hepatic leiomyosarcoma with adrenal and hepatic metastasis: Case report and literature review.

Primary hepatic leiomyosarcoma (PHL) is a rare malignant tumor, which originates from smooth muscles. The imaging features are nonspecific and the diagnosis is often delayed until the tumor reaches a large size, which leads often to a dismal prognosis. We report a case of a 46-year-old male patient who was complaining about abdominal pain for 2 months.

Unusual clinical presentation of a giant parathyroid adenoma: A case report from Morocco highlighting the rare entity and atypical symptoms.

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), an endocrine disorder most commonly caused by parathyroid adenoma (PTA), manifests with a diverse array of symptoms, reflecting the multisystem impact of parathyroid hormone: nephrolithiasis, peptic ulcer disease, psychiatric disorders, muscle weakness, constipation, polyuria, pancreatitis, myalgia, and arthralgia. Rarely do these PTA attain a significant size. PHPT is usually diagnosed through biochemical tests, and radiological imaging characterizes the adenoma.

Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome type II: A rare case report.

MRKH syndrome, or Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome, a rare congenital disease, manifests as a complete or partial aplasia of the uterus and the vagina's upper two-thirds with normal external genitalia and functioning ovaries. Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome can occur in isolation (type I) or in conjunction with other congenital extragenital deformities affecting the kidneys, skeleton, heart, eyes, or auditory system (type II). The diagnosis of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome typically relies on imaging studies, with transabdominal ultrasonography serving as the primary modality.

Septo-optic dysplasia plus syndrome in a 2-year-old child: A case report.

Septo-optic dysplasia (SOD) is a rare congenital condition characterized by a triad of septum pellucidum dysgenesis, optic nerve hypoplasia, and hypothalamic-hypophyseal dysfunction. In some cases, additional brain anomalies such as schizencephaly can occur, leading to a more complex presentation known as septo-optic dysplasia plus (SOD+). This case report describes a 2-year-old boy presenting with delayed psychomotor development and visual impairment, ultimately diagnosed with SOD+.

Congenital cervico-vaginal aplasia with a functional uterus: A case report and review of literature.

Maldevelopment of the vagina and cervix is frequently accompanied by uterine aplasia or hypoplasia. Complete cervico-vaginal aplasia with a normally developing uterus is a very uncommon type of developmental failure. Failure to treat the condition can result in complications such as hematometra and hematosalpinx caused by the retrograde flow of blood into the fallopian tubes.

Late presentation of gastric duplication cyst in pediatric patient: Lessons learned.

Gastrointestinal duplication is an infrequent congenital disorder characterized by the presence of a muscular layer covered by mucosa. Gastric duplication cysts account for approximately 2%-9% of all gastrointestinal duplication cysts. The typical clinical presentation often includes symptoms such as epigastric pain, vomiting, and the presence of a palpable abdominal mass.

Spinal metastasis of nephroblastoma: Yes it exists.

Nephroblastoma or Wilms' tumor is the most common malignant tumor of the kidney in the pediatric population. Metastasis is caused by hematogenous spread. The most common localizations in decreasing order of frequency are lymph nodes, lungs, and liver.

A rare case of uterine rupture in the first trimester of pregnancy: Case report and review of literature.

Uterine rupture is a serious and potentially life-threatening complication. It is commonly a complication that happens in the third trimester of pregnancy. Its occurrence in early pregnancy is very rare.

Right atrial tumor revealing intravascular leiomyomatosis: about a case and literature review.

Intravascular leiomyomatosis (IVL) is a very rare extension of uterine leiomyoma through the pelvic vessels. It is a benign pathology with malignant potential with a possibility of intra-cardiac extension and metastases (cerebral, pulmonary, lymph node); early diagnosis is very difficult. Prognosis depends on involvement of the inferior vena cava and extension to the right cavities.

Tibia vara caused by focal fibrocartilaginous dysplasia: A rare case report.

Focal fibrocartilaginous dysplasia is an uncommon benign bone condition that predominantly affects children and typically leads to varus deformities in the proximal tibia. It was first described by Bell in 1985. The etiology remains unknown and the diagnosis is radiological; biopsy is not necessary.

A Dental Extraction Revealing a Multisystem Burkitt's Lymphoma: A Case Report.

Burkitt's lymphoma is rare but highly aggressive and very fast-growing B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). It can affect any organ such as the central nervous system, jaw, intestines, kidneys, ovaries, and other organs. It results from the malignant evolution and proliferation of B-type lymphoid cells.

Clinical and Radiological Features in Poland Syndrome: Report of 3 Cases and Review of Literature.

Poland syndrome is indeed a rare congenital malformation that can present with various degrees of thoracic and homolateral upper limb anomalies. The classic features of Poland syndrome include agenesis or hypoplasia of the sternocostal head of the pectoralis major muscle, hypoplasia of the nipple, absence of subcutaneous fat, multiple rib abnormalities, and sometimes Sprengel deformity (elevation of the scapula). Additionally, ipsilateral symbrachydactyly (combination of "short fingers" with cutaneous syndactyly [fused fingers]) may also be observed.

Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome in an 8-year-old child: Report of a case.

Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DDMS) is a rare entity. Few cases have been described in the literature. It can be symptomatic or asymptomatic.

A rare case of renal tumor in children: Clear cell sarcoma with an unusual presentation.

Clear cell sarcoma of the kidney is the most frequently misdiagnosed renal tumor in children. We report the case of a 6-year-old boy with clear cell sarcoma of the kidney with an unusual presentation, including a primary tumor of the left kidney with metastasis in the homolateral psoas muscle. The renal tumor was revealed by abdominal mass without hematuria.

Osseous hydatid disease: A mimic of other skeletal pathologies.

Hydatid disease is still endemic in several regions worldwide including Morocco, and is caused in most cases by the larval form of 2 species of the tapeworm Echinococcus: E. granulosus and E. multilocularis.
