Kallmann Syndrome with Syndactyly.

Kallmann syndrome is a rare genetic disorder marked by hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) and anosmia, affecting 1 in 50,000 females. It is due to a defect of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)-secreting neurons migration from the nasal olfactory epithelium to the basal hypothalamus. Non-reproductive, non-olfactory symptoms can also be present, depending on the genetic form of disease.

[Squamous cell carcinoma of the breast: report of a case and review of the literature].

Squamous cell carcinoma of the breast is a rare tumour of metaplasic origin; etiopathogeny is controversial; diagnosis is based on histological examination after eliminating the primary tumor; clinical and radiological examination is not specific; treatment is the same as for invasive ductal carcinoma; prognisis is poor due to tumor size and lymph node involvement. We report a case of breast squamous cell carcinoma in a 39 years old patient who was examined in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the military hospital in Rabat. Patient observation allowed us to specify the clinical characteristics of this entity which remains rare.

Paraneoplastic syndromes revealing ovarian teratoma in young and menopausal women: report of two cases.

Paraneoplastic syndromes are a heterogeneous group of clinical and biological manifestations caused by underling neoplasms. They can reveal ovarian teratoma which express neuroendocrine proteins, or contain mature or immature neural tissue inducing an autoimmune response. The etiological investigation is then crucial to early identification of the tumor in order to optimize the prognosis and to limit neurological sequelae.

Large twisted ovarian fibroma in menopausal women: a case report.
