EBV-associated leiomyosarcoma in an immunocompromised child: A unique intracranial case with genomic study.

Introduction And Importance: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a common virus infecting more than 90 % of the adult population, typically without symptoms. While most infections remain asymptomatic, EBV is associated with over 200,000 new cancer cases annually. It is linked to several malignancies, including leiomyosarcoma (LS) in immunocompromised patients, a rare occurrence with fewer than 100 new cases per year globally.

[McCune-Albright syndrome: a case report and literature review].

McCune-Albright syndrome is an inherited disease characterized by the association of fibrous dystrophy of bone, café-au-lait skin spots and precocious puberty revealing endocrine hyperactivity. Genetically, this disease is due to a mutation of the Gs protein responsible for activation of adenylate cyclase with excessive production of cAMP. The particular morphology of café-au-lait spots should suggest early diagnosis.

Congenital syndactyly: a retrospective study of 18 cases at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology of the Habib Bourguiba University Hospital, Sfax, Tunisia.

Congenital syndactylies are frequent congenital malformations of the hand. They can be an isolated finding or they can be found in association with other polymalformative syndromes. Several surgical techniques used to treat them have been described in the literature.

Management of a recurrence of a squamous cell carcinoma of the scalp with extension to the brain: A case report and literature review.

Background: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common form of nonmelanoma skin cancer after basal cell carcinoma. Simple excision can be the treatment at early stages of diagnosis. However, at late stages, treatment is more complex due to extension to the skull and the dura.
