Unusual cause of laryngeal dyspnea and swallowing troubles in a 2-year old child.

Plexiform neurofibromas are rare benign tumors developed from peripheral nervous system often associated with neurofibromatosis type 1. We report the case of multifocal plexiform neurofibromas in a 2-year-old child with cervical mass obstructing the trachea causing respiratory distress. A cervical ultrasound examination was performed followed by enhanced CT and MRI.

Contribution of imaging in the management of resistant tuberculosis.

Introduction: Resistant tuberculosis is a topical subject given the difficulties of its management.

Objective: To evaluate the role of imaging in the diagnosis and follow-up of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB).

Methods: Retrospective study of MDR-TB cases followed in Hall C of Abderrahmane Mami Hospital (2010 to 2016).

Implantable port thrombosis in cancer patients: a monocentric experience.

Objective: Implantable port thrombosis (IPT) in cancer patients is a relatively rare but severe complication. Several factors are reportedly associated with the occurrence of thrombosis. We aimed to describe the prevalence and the anatomoclinical features of IPT observed in cancer patients who were treated in a medical oncology department in Tunisia.

[Medical therapies for locally advanced/metastatic kidney cancer].

Aims: To analyze the medical literature concerning the results of the international randomized muticentric trials concerning therapeutic innovations, mainly targeted therapies in locally advanced and or metastatic renal cell cancer and to evaluate the benefit of these TT.

Methods: We performed a review of publications that concerned this topic published from 2000 to 2014.

Results: They concerned the large randomized trials have showed a benefit of the targeted therapies in the treatment of clear cell carcinomas in terms of progression-free survival.

[Pulmonary atinomycosis: a great clinical polymorphism].

Background: Pulmonary actinomycosis is a rare bacteriological disease, caracterized by local suppuration and an extensive fibroinflammatory process, with a possible pseudotumoral outcome.

Aim: To report a new observation of a pulmonary actinomycosis.

Case Report: A 52-year-old patient, smoker, admitted in our department for infectious pneumopathy complicated by purulent pleurisy.

[Neoplasic vena cava syndrome].

Background: Vena cava superior syndrome results of an obstruction of superior vein cava(SVC)and/or brachiocaphalic venous troncs by extrinsic compression and/or by tumoral or cruoric thrombosis. The bronchopulmonary cancer represents the most frequent aetiology.

Aim: The aim of this study is to establish clinical, radiological, evolutive profiles and modalities of treatment of neoplasic vena cava superior syndrome independently of its histological type.

[Rare localization of sarcoma in an adolescent: thoracic Ewing sarcoma].

Background: Ewing Sarcoma is considered as primitive neuro ectodermic tumor. It's the most frequent osseous tumor in children and adolescent. It was localised frequently at long osseous and pelvis, however, it can be arising from the rib.

Vertebral tuberculosis revealed by thoracic manifestations. A study of five cases.

Background: Spine is the most frequent location of bone tuberculosis, which can seldom be revealed by thoracic manifestations.

Methods: In a seven-years retrospective study, we reported radioclinical manifestations revealing Pott's disease, methods of diagnosis and the treatment outcome.

Results: Five non immunocompromised female patients were hospitalized between 1997 and 2003 in Clinical Department of Pulmonary Diseases in Abderrahmane Mami Hospital Ariana Tunisia, for thoracic manifestations that led to the diagnosis of Pott's disease, which represents 4.

[Pseudo tumoral bronchial tuberculosis].

Bronchial lesion is a rare site for tuberculosis. It can mimic lung cancer especially when sputum- smear is negative, and this be a cause of a delay in diagnosis, that can be made later on by a culture of Koch bacillus or after a bronchial biopsy. Through these 4 cases reports, the authors recall the ethiopathogenic hypotheses of this lesion and review the radiologic, clinical and prognostic features of these unusual forms of TB.
