[Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) secondary to mucinous carcinoma of the ovary: a case study].

Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP), also referred to as gelatinous ascites, is a rare disorder, described for the first time by R. Wyerth in 1884. It is characterized by diffuse peritoneal involvement, composed of mucinous ascites and multifocal mucinous epithelial implants.

[Epidemiological and pathological profile of colorectal cancer: about 36 cases].

Colorectal cancer is classified among the most common cancers in the world (after breast cancer and prostate cancer) and it is the second digestive tract cancer in Morocco after stomach cancer. However, its incidence in our country is lower than that of western countries (2.5 to 3.

[Colonic lymphoma revealed by ileocecal intussusception in adults: about a case].

Intussusception is a very common condition in pediatrics, while in adults it is rare and accounts for only 10% of intussusceptions and 4% of intestinal occlusions. Colonic lymphoma revealed by intussusception is a very rare disease. We report the case of a 21-year old woman admitted with intestinal subocclusion to the Emergency Department at the Military Hospital Moulay Ismail, Meknes Morocco.

[Role of splenectomy in the treatment of non-cirrhotic portal hypertension: about 3 cases].

Non-cirrhotic portal hypertension was first described by Guido BANTI in 1898 as a condition characterized by the association of portal hypertension with splenomegaly, anemia and healthy liver. The diagnosis was based on abdominal ultrasound, splenoportography and liver biopsy. Our study aimed to evaluate the role of splenectomy in non-cirrhotic portal hypertension.

The management of a cystic hepatic lesion ruptured in the bile ducts: a case report.

Background: Hepatic cystadenoma is a rare benign cystic tumor; it tends to recur after incomplete surgical resection and has malignant potential. We report the case of a patient with a ruptured biliary cystadenoma in the common bile duct that caused diagnostic and therapeutic problems.

Case Presentation: A 34-year-old North African woman, admitted for angiocholitis, was operated 2 months before for a hepatic cystic lesion taken for a hydatid cyst compressing her common bile duct.

An unusual localization of retroperitoneal paraganglioma: a case report.

Paragangliomas are rare tumors arising from extra-adrenal chromaffine tissues. The diagnosis of non-functional retroperitoneal paraganglioma and its surgical management can be difficult. We report a case of a retroperitoneal paragangliomaof an unusual localization that renders the surgery more challenging.

Analysis of prognostic factors affecting mortality in Fournier's gangrene: A study of 72 cases.

Introduction: Fournier's gangrene is a rapidly progressing necrotizing fasciitis of the perineum and genital area associated with a high mortality rate. We presented our experience in managing this entity and identified prognostic factors affecting mortality.

Methods: We carried out a retrospective study of 72 patients treated for Fournier's gangrene at our institution between January 2005 and December 2014.

Long-standing insulinoma: two case reports and review of the literature.

Background: Insulinomas are rare pancreatic endocrine tumors. Most are benign and solitary. However, the nonspecific symptoms and small size of these tumors led to difficulties of diagnosis and localization.

An exceptional collision tumor: gastric calcified stromal tumor and pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

The authors report an exceptional case of collision tumor comprised of a gastric calcified stromal tumor and a pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The pancreatic tumor was detected fortuitously on the histological exam of resection specimen.
