Article Synopsis
- Poroid neoplasms (PN) are diverse tumors that originate from sweat glands, and their classification and identifying features can be difficult.
- A study conducted at the Niamey National Hospital from February 2020 to February 2024 found 13 cases of benign poroid neoplasms, mostly classic poromas, with a majority being misdiagnosed as malignant before surgery.
- The results indicate that these tumors often have apocrine ductal features and tend to occur in younger patients and non-palmoplantar areas, challenging traditional understandings of their characteristics.
Article Synopsis
- * A 40-year-old patient with long-term epigastric pain and diarrhea was diagnosed with ZES after undergoing imaging and biopsy, revealing a gastrinoma.
- * Surgical removal of the gastrinoma is the most effective treatment for ZES, and early diagnosis is crucial for managing symptoms like chronic diarrhea and abdominal pain.
Article Synopsis
- Splenic lymphangiomas (SL) are rare benign cystic lesions primarily found in children but also occur in adults, warranting splenectomy for diagnosis and treatment.
- A retrospective study of splenectomy cases between June 2020 and August 2022 identified 16 patients, revealing that 25% had SL, with the average age being 30.25 years.
- The findings suggest that SL typically involves older patients with significant splenomegaly, challenging previous assumptions about their rarity, and highlighting that open splenectomy remains a common surgical approach.
Background: Aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) is a locally infiltrative mesenchymal tumour that most commonly affects the pelvis and/or perineum in adult women. AAM is very rare in males, especially in infancy.
Case Presentation: A 10-month-old fulani (African) male infant was referred to our department for a large painless mass in the right testicule.
Article Synopsis
- - Schistosomiasis, particularly from the parasite Schistosoma haematobium, is linked to bladder squamous cell carcinoma, a deadly form of cancer with a poor prognosis compared to other bladder cancers.
- - Two fatal cases in Niger involved a 38-year-old woman and a 37-year-old man who experienced severe pelvic pain and blood in urine, leading to the diagnosis of advanced invasive bladder cancer linked to the parasite.
- - The study highlights that preventing schistosomiasis through parasite eradication is crucial, as it could significantly reduce the risk of developing this aggressive cancer.
Lacrimal gland chondroid syringoma is a very rare tumor with classic clinico-radiological symptoms that should be familiar to clinicians for appropriate patients' management as the tumor has potential for recurrence and malignant transformation. We report herein a case of chondroid syringoma in a 35-year-old patient presenting with progressive painless proptosis for 2 years. He underwent complete surgical removal of the tumor, with subsequent clinical improvement of his symptoms.
