Immediate Weightbearing Following First Metatarsal Phalangeal Joint Arthrodesis With 2 Nickel Titanium Alloy Staples.

The use of staples has been shown to be a reasonable fixation technique to achieve stability of a first MTPJ arthrodesis. Although it has been shown to be a weaker construct than crossed screws or plate and screw combinations, their ease of insertion, low profile, and stability make them a desirable choice for first MTPJ arthrodesis fixation. However, because of this relative weakness, the question remains whether immediate weightbearing when using staples is advisable.

Multiple Squamous Cell Carcinoma in a Patient Using Skin Bleaching Products in Togo.

Background: The cosmetic use of skin bleaching products is common among women in sub-Saharan Africa despite numerous reported cutaneous and systemic complications. We report the first case of squamous cell carcinoma in a woman using skin bleaching products in Togo. .

Giant abdominopelvic desmoid tumour herniated trough perineum: a case report.

Desmoid tumours are deep aggressive fibromatoses that usually arise in the soft tissues of the limbs or the abdominal wall. Intra-abdominal localisation, rarely occurs and their treatment may be challenging. When necessary, surgery must be personalized to what is achievable in terms of margins while preserving functional outcomes.

Breast cancer in togolese women: immunohistochemistry subtypes.

Background: Molecular classification of breast cancer is an important factor for prognostic and clinical outcomes. There are no data regarding molecular breast cancer subtypes among Togolese women. The objective of this study was to evaluate the expression of ER, PR, HER2, and molecular subtypes of breast cancer receptors in Togolese patients and to establish the correlation between clinical and histological data and molecular types.

A Histopathological Study of Skin Lesions in Individuals with Oculocutaneous Albinism in Togo in 2019.

Objective: The aim of this study was to study the histopathological patterns of skin lesions in persons with albinism (PWA) in Togo in 2019.

Method: During two mobile skin care clinics in 2019, biopsies/excisional biopsies were performed in PWA in case of clinical doubt or in front of lesions suspected to be cancerous for histological examination. Anatomopathological reports were thus analysed.

[Appendicitis schistosomiasis].

Appendiceal schistosomiasis is a rare disease of only histopathological diagnosis. Appendectomy should be followed by treatment with praziquantel to avoid complications. We report two cases of appendiceal schistosomiasis and discuss the role of this infection of this infection in the pathogenesis of appendicitis.

Retinoblastoma in children: a case series from Senegal.

Retinoblastoma is the most common tumor of the eye in Senegalese children. Diagnosis occurs often at a late stage, when enucleation is unavoidable. In this report, we describe all recorded cases occurring in Senegal over a 10-year period (2005-14).

[Non-traumatic splenic rupture revealed by acute renal failure].

We report a case of rupture of spontaneous subcapsular splenic hematoma caused by toxic product and revealed by acute renal failure with intravascular hemolysis.

[Retinoblastoma in Senegal: Pathologist's view].

Objectives: Describe the macroscopic and microscopic profiles of the retinoblastoma (RB) in Senegal and correlate histological criteria to evolution to emerge severity factors.

Methodology: We realized a retrospective study on 10years (January 2005-December 2014). Only patients (n=67) who performed a histological analysis of the enucleation specimen (n=68) were followed until the end of the study.

A rare testicular tumor: primary carcinoid tumor.

Background: Primary carcinoid tumors are rare and constitute 0.23% of all testicular tumors. We report a case of primary carcinoid tumor of testicular localization, with a review of the literature.

[A rare parotid tumor].

Introduction: Sebaceous lymphadenoma of the parotid (SLP) is a rare, benign tumor with similar epidemiological and macroscopic characteristics with other sebaceous differentiated tumors of the parotid (SDTP). The authors report a case of SLP in an 80-year-old woman. They then recall the distinctive histological and immunohistochemical criteria of SDTP.

Mycetoma in the Togolese: An Update from a Single-Center Experience.

Background: Mycetoma is a chronic inflammatory process caused either by fungi (eumycetoma) or bacteria (actinomycetoma). In this retrospective study, we report epidemiologic and histopathological data of mycetoma observed in the Lome Hospital, Togo in a 25-year period (1992-2016).

Methodology: This is a retrospective study, over a period of 25 years, to analyze epidemiological and etiological findings of mycetomas seen in the single laboratory of pathological anatomy of the Lomé, Togo.

[Exceptional etiology of acute renal: Burkitt's lymphoma].

Introduction: Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) is an exceptional cause of acute renal failure (ARF). The origin of the tumor clone may be lymphoid follicles secondary to renal Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. With the presentation of this clinical case, the pathogenesis, diagnostic criteria and evolution of this extremely rare affection will be discussed.

[Intra-thyroid metastasis and the pathologist].

Intra-thyroid metastases (ITM) are rarely observed clinically. The high blood flow of the thyroid and its high content of iodine explain this rarity. The clinical and radiological criteria of ITM are not very specific.

Absence of renal enlargement in fructose-fed proximal-tubule-select insulin receptor (IR), insulin-like-growth factor receptor (IGF1R) double knockout mice.

The major site of fructose metabolism in the kidney is the proximal tubule (PT). To test whether insulin and/or IGF1 signaling in the PT is involved in renal structural/functional responses to dietary fructose, we bred mice with dual knockout (KO) of the insulin receptor (IR) and the IGF1 receptor (IGF1R) in PT by Cre-lox recombination, using a γ-glutamyl transferase promoter. KO mice had slightly (~10%) reduced body and kidney weights, as well as, a reduction in mean protein-to-DNA ratio in kidney cortex suggesting smaller cell size.

[Rectal endometriosis: An exceptional etiology of acute intestinal occlusion].

The intestinal occlusion acute is an emergency and therapeutic diagnostic. A rectal tumor is rarely the cause in a young adult. We are carrying the case of a patient of 43years old, received at emergency on a board of intestinal occlusion acute due to a rectal tumor of a fortuitous discovery during the operation.

[Morpho-epidemiological profile of elderly subject cancer in Dakar].

Unlabelled: The elderly is defined by WHO as any individual who has a chronological age greater than or equal to 60 years. The number of elderly is growing. The scarcity of work on malignant tumor pathology elderly contrasting with the difficulty of support have raised the interest of this work.
