Breast amyloidosis associated with Sjögren syndrome: A diagnostic pitfall in breast pathology.

Background: Amyloidosis is an uncommon disorder characterized by the extracellular deposition of amorphous and insoluble proteins in an abnormal fibrillary configuration. Mammary amyloidosis is an unusual and easily overlooked diagnosis with an ambivalent presentation that could mimic breast cancer.

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.

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.

A renal angiomyolipoma with a challenging presentation: a case report.

Introduction: Renal angiomyolipoma is considered a benign mesenchymal tumor composed of fat, smooth muscle, and blood vessels. It represents 1-3% of solid renal tumors. Despite this tumor's benignity, it can be aggressive with a locoregional extension.

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.

Mondor's disease of the breast: a case series.

Background: Mondor's disease of the breast (MDB) is a rare and benign disorder of the breast. It is characterized by thrombophlebitis of the superficial veins of the chest wall. Clinically, it manifests as a cord-like induration of the breast area.

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.

Fertility sparing surgery for ovarian sex cord stromal tumors: a nine case series.

Ovarian Sex Cord Stromal Tumors (SCST) are a rare disease carrying a good prognosis. They generally affect young women; therefore fertility preservation is a critical issue. Fertility Sparing Surgery (FSS) showed promising results in both oncologic safety and fertility preservation.

Multiple cutaneous metastasis of synchronous urothelial carcinoma of the bladder and the renal pelvis: a case report.

Introduction: Cutaneous metastatic disease arising from urinary tract carcinoma is rare and associated with a poor prognosis. We report a case of metastatic disease occurring in a patient treated for synchronous urothelial tumor of the bladder and left renal pelvis.

Case Presentation: A 61-year-old Caucasian man was treated for a synchronous urothelial tumor of the bladder and left renal pelvis.

Tumors of low malignant potential a single institution experience.

Background: The tumors of low malignant potential are an independent group of the ovarian epithelial tumors. They represents 10-20% of all ovarian epithelial tumors. Our aim through this study to determine how to treat this disease in the most suitable way.

A hydatic cyst of the appendix mimicking a uterine lateral mass: a case report.

Background: Hydatic cyst is a zoonotic disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus. It is a public health problem in Tunisia and remains endemic. It occurs in intra-abdominal organs in 10-15% of the cases, particularly in the liver representing the most common affected organ.

Laparoscopic assisted foreign body extraction from the small bowel: A case report.

Background And Aim: Foreign body ingestion is a commonly seen accident in emergencies, only 1% of them will finally need surgery. Historically, exploratory laparotomy has been the mainstay of treatment for patients requiring surgery. However surgeons are more and more tempted to use laparoscopy in emergency setting.

Fertility-sparing surgery in advanced stage malignant ovarian germ cell tumor: a case report.

Background: Malignant ovarian germ cell tumor is a rare type of disease, which generally has a good prognosis due to the high chemosensitivity of this type of tumor. Fertility preservation is an important issue because malignant ovarian germ cell tumor commonly affects young women. Although conservation is the standard for early stage, it becomes more debatable as the disease progresses to more advanced stages.

Identifying accessible prognostic factors for breast cancer relapse: a case-study on 405 histologically confirmed node-negative patients.

Background: Histologically, node-negative breast cancer generally have a good prognosis. However, 10 to 30% of the cases present local relapses or metastasis. This group of people has high chances of remission if detected early.

Vaginal cuff dehiscence and evisceration 11 years after a radical hysterectomy: A case report.

Introduction: Vaginal cuff dehiscence (VCD) and evisceration (VCDE) are rare but rather serious complications of hysterectomy procedures. We aimed to report a case of VCDE happening eleven years after the initial surgery and review a treatment protocol of this rare complication.

Case: A 68 years old Tunisian female patient In 2004, the patient underwent concomitant chemoradiation followed by total abdominal radical hysterectomy for a squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix.

Enterovesical fistula, a rare complication of Meckel's diverticulum: A case report.

Introduction: Enterovesical fistulas usually result from diverticulitis, Crohn's disease, or colorectal cancer. A perforated Meckel's diverticulum can exceptionally result in an vesico-diverticulum fistula, as noted in only seven previously reported cases.

Case Report: A 35-year old Arabic male, quadriplegic,who presented epigastralgia evolving for a week, associated with abdominal distension and cloudy urine.

Is the systematic circumferential tumor cavity shaving a representative sample for the remaining mammary gland? About 75 cases.

Introduction: The conservative surgery is more and more indicated for breast cancer. However, we still fear local recurrence which is mostly due to residual tumors?. Several techniques have been used to minimize theses residual tumors; one of them is the systematic circumferential tumor cavity shaving (SCTCS).
