Intracholecystic papillary neoplasm (ICPN) of the gallbladder is a macroscopically visible premalignant lesion protruding into the gallbladder lumen, with infrequent association with invasive adenocarcinoma. Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile ducts (IPNB) is a non-invasive lesion characterized by intraductal papillary or villous architecture. Both ICPN and IPNB are rare findings in the gallbladder and biliary tract pathology.

Cancer of the penis is a rare tumor that occurs in the elderly. Because of its rarity, it is often not diagnosed early, and its treatment poses difficulties for practicing oncologists. We report the case of an elderly patient treated for locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the penis, with a review of the literature.

Tuberculosis poses a significant public health challenge, especially in highly endemic countries. Rarely, it appears as an abdominal mass resembling a malignant abdominal tumor and can be misleading on imaging, so early diagnosis remains a challenge, and confirmation may require invasive examinations such as laparotomy. The most characteristic radiological appearance is that of a solid, hypervascular, or peripherally enhancing mass with a hypodense center.

Gastric clear cell adenocarcinoma is an extremely rare variant of papillary adenocarcinoma of the stomach. It is associated with a poor prognosis due to its frequent lymphovascular invasion and also its higher risk of recurrence. It is characterized morphologically by a clear appearance of tumor cells, which can be easily confused with a metastasis of a clear cell carcinoma, particularly of renal origin.

Trichobezoar is a relatively rare condition in children, mainly observed in young girls with psychiatric disorders. While documented cases of trichobezoar associated with celiac disease exist, such occurrences remain uncommon in the literature. The association between the two can be explained either by behavioral disorders resulting from a deficiency in iron and folic acid or directly by celiac disease.

Solitary necrotic nodule (SNN) of the liver is an uncommon and benign finding in liver pathology. Typically, it appears as a single and asymptomatic lesion, primarily located at the subcapsular region of the right lobe of the liver. Unfortunately, it is easy to mistake this benign lesion for a primary or secondary neoplastic lesion, making it a potential diagnosis pitfall for liver malignancies.

Appendiceal anomalies, particularly double appendices, are rare and mainly detected during non-appendiceal surgery in adults. Misrecognizing them can have serious consequences, both clinically and legally. It is critical that surgeons pay attention to the anatomical variations of the vermiform appendix, and always consider the possibility of duplicated appendix when diagnosing a right iliac fossa pain.

Article Synopsis
  • The management of locally advanced and metastatic breast cancer has progressed since 2021, highlighting the importance of cell cycle inhibitors in treatment.
  • Self-examinations typically lead to breast cancer diagnoses, but symptoms may also arise from metastatic sites, such as the spinal cord.
  • A rare case of metastatic breast cancer in the spinal cord was identified after the patient experienced acute urinary retention.

  • Testicular cancer is the most common solid tumor in young people, often stemming from a precursor known as intratubular Germinal Cell Neoplasia (ITGCN).
  • A case study highlights a 37-year-old man with ITGCN who had a history of cryptorchidism and infertility; he chose radiotherapy over active surveillance.
  • While the exact cause of ITGCN remains unclear and symptoms are typically absent, standard treatment involves scrotal radiotherapy, although patients wishing to maintain fertility may opt for regular monitoring instead.

  • Duplication cyst (DC) is a rare congenital condition in the digestive tract, characterized by a cystic structure with two layers: an inner alimentary epithelium and an outer smooth muscle layer.
  • It most often occurs in the distal ileum and can be linked to other anomalies in the body.
  • A rare case of an ileal DC with a unique pseudostratified and ciliated epithelium was reported in an adult who experienced intestinal obstruction.

  • Genitourinary tuberculosis is a rare type of tuberculosis that impacts parts of the urinary and reproductive systems like the kidneys and prostate.
  • Testicular tuberculosis is particularly uncommon, with the case discussed here focusing on a rare instance of unilateral testicular tuberculosis presenting as orchi-epididymitis.
  • The primary treatment involves antituberculosis medication, which may be used alongside surgical intervention if necessary.

Hidradenocarcinomas or malignant hidradenomas are tumors developed from the sweat glands, in particular, the eccrine glands. It is a rare entity of skin tumors and frequently appears de novo with a slight female predominance and an average age of 50 years at diagnosis. We report the case of a 57-year-old woman treated for localized hidradenocarcinoma of the scalp, successfully managed by surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy.

Embryonal carcinoma is a rare and aggressive type of non-seminomatous germ cell tumor that typically affects young to middle-aged individuals. It is often discovered by the patient or during routine medical exams as a painless or occasionally painful lump. Other revealing symptoms, such as lumbar pain or renal colic, are very uncommon in the literature.

Griscelli syndrome (GS) is a rare genetic disorder that encompasses three different subtypes (GS type 1 (GS1), GS type 2 (GS2), and GS type 3 (GS3)), in which isolated neurological manifestations without immune system implications are typically seen in GS1, while neurological involvements in GS2 should be attributed to the macrophage and lymphocyte invasion of the central nervous system (CNS), under associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). The presence of the clinical, biological, and hematologic features of HLH help explain the neurological defects that GS2 patients unusually present. In our case report, however, we attempt to highlight an uncommon presentation of GS2 involving a hemiparesis, along which we did not have any clinical or biological features of HLH.

Article Synopsis
  • - Desmoid tumors are non-cancerous growths that can invade nearby tissues and often come back after treatment, with rare cases found in the retroperitoneal area.
  • - Their causes are still debated, but may include genetic factors, hormones, or past injuries, and they present management challenges due to their rarity and unclear symptoms.
  • - Surgery is the main treatment for symptomatic cases, while monitoring might be preferred for asymptomatic patients, highlighting the need for a personalized, multidisciplinary approach to care.
