[Parietal tuberculosis complicated by pulmonary embolism].

Tuberculosis is a frequent infectious disease in developing countries. It can affect the lung or spread to other parts of the body. Extra-pulmonary tuberculosis poses a major diagnostic problem.

[Bilateral pulmonary hydatid cyst].

Hydatid disease is the most common human cestodosis. Pulmonary localization is the 2 largest visceral locations after liver localization. The imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis and staging.

[Localised bronchiectasis revealing carcinoid tumor].

We here report the case of a 32-year old female patient with a 5-year history of recurrent purulent bronchial syndrome. Radiological assessment showed a left basithoracic finely ringed bright areas related to cylindrical bronchiectasis located in the left lower lobe. Flexible bronchoscopy showed smooth surface, reddish tumor obstructing the entrance of the left basal pyramid.

[Diffuse and calcified nodular opacities].

Pulmonary adenocarcinoma is difficult to identify right away with respect to anamnestic and even to radiological data. We here report the case of a woman with dyspnea. Radiological examination showed disseminated micronodular opacity confluent in both lung fields with calcifications in certain locations.

[Diagnostic means for tuberculosis].

Tuberculosis is a public health problem. In recent years, there is a change in the epidemiological profile of tuberculosis. The diagnosis of tuberculosis is based on clinical and radiological arguments but confirmation is bacteriological and/or histological.

[Association of pulmonary carcinoma and ductal breast cancer].

Multiple primary cancers are relatively rare. The association between lung and breast cancer is exceptional and requires genetic research and predisposing factors. We report the case of a female patient of 43years, hospitalized for atelectasis of the left lung with breast lumps.

Bronchiectasis: a bacteriological profile.

The occurrence of bronchiectasis can involve a combination of many environmental factors, including infection. The aim of our work is to determine the bacteriological profile of bronchiectasis. This is a retrospective study of 100 patients hospitalized in between January 2010 and July 2013.

[Small cell lung cancer associated with paraneoplastic bullous pemphigoid].

The broncho-pulmonary small cell carcinoma is the most common cancer provider paraneoplastic syndrome especially neurological and endocrine but also cutaneous syndrome. Paraneoplastic dermatosis do not result from a direct extension of cancer and are not metastases, but their presence is suggestive of an underlying tumor. The evolution of the dermatosis is parallel to that of cancer: treating cancer results in the regression of cutaneous manifestations.

[The "DRESS" syndrome in antituberculosis drugs].

The DRESS syndrome is a serious drug reaction that may involve life-threatening. We have to think before any skin reaction after taking drugs. We report a clinical case of a 27-year-old patient treated for pleural tuberculosis with the DRESS syndrome induced by antituberculosis.

[Diffuse infiltrative lung disease in scleroderma. Analysis of radio-clinical and functional semiology].

Scleroderma (SD) is a systemic disease that predominantly affects the skin. Diffuse infiltrative lung disease (DILD) is rare and occurs most often in the course of the disease. We analyzed seven cases of DILO of SD recorded between 2003 and 2010 among 196 PID (3.

[Imaging of hydatid cyst of the lung].

The pulmonary hydatid cyst is frequent in Mediterranean countries such as Morocco. Our analytic study concerned 70 cases of lung hydatid cysts collected from 2007 to 2010. Mean age was 35years and we noted a male predominance (53%).

[Pott's disease (about 16 cases)].

Introduction: Pott's disease or spinal tuberculosis is rare, but represents the most common form of osteo-articular tuberculosis in endemic countries.

Material And Methods: [corrected] From January 2000 to December 2010, we collected 16 cases of Pott's disease. We analyzed clinical and radiological profile, means of confirmation and treatment.

[Multicystic lung revealing a Sjogren's syndrome].

The Sjogren's syndrome is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease that affects primarily the exocrine glands, but can affect other organs particularly the lungs. Cystic lung disease is very significant but exceptionally recounted in the literature. We report the case of a patient, 54 years old, whose disease was discovered incidentally after a routine chest radiograph.

[Multiple pulmonary hydatid disease with cardiovascular localisation].

Multiple thoracic hydatid disease is rare. Cardiovascular localisation is exceptional. Clinical, radiological and even electrocardiographic signs are not specific.

[Scarf pin: a new intrabronchial foreign body].

Objectives: The aim of this study was to illustrate the dangers of holding a scarf pin in the mouth and to describe the particular characteristics of the aspiration of a potentially penetrating foreign body and its management.

Patients And Methods: Sixteen cases of inhaled scarf pins were recorded in 2 years. They were all young girls, all veiled with a mean age of 16.

[Pleural fibroma revealed by hypoglycemia].

Pleural fibroma or solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura (SFTP) is a rare tumor generally discovered fortuitously or in patients with non-specific respiratory symptoms, more rarely with hypoglycemia. We report the case of a 51-year-old man with a history of smoking (30 pack-years) and no other disease history whose chest x-ray revealed an enormous opacity occupying the lower two-thirds of the left hemithorax. This radiological anomaly had led to episodes of lipothymia three months earlier together with mental confusion in the morning as well as an episode of hypoglycemia (0.
