An Unusual Cause of Spontaneous Pneumomediastinum: The Mounier-Kuhn Syndrome.

Mounier-Kuhn syndrome is a rare clinical and radiologic condition. It is characterized by tracheal and bronchial dilation. Diagnosis is made by computed tomography and bronchoscopy.

[The tree that hides the forest: aspergillosis associated with bronchial carcinoma (about two cases)].

Endobronchial aspergilloma and intracavitary pulmonary aspergilloma may clinically and radiologically mimic a bronchial neoplasia, hence the importance of systematically searching for an association. A confirmed association completely changes the prognosis as well as the therapeutic approach. We here report two cases with two different forms of pulmonary aspergilloma associated with bronchial carcinoma.

[Initial manifestation and atypical site for metastatic synovial sarcoma in an immunocompetent adult patient: about a case and literature review].

Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a rare tumor. It is characterized by various sites of occurrence but rarely involves the chest. The tumor may be wrongly diagnosed as benign due to its slow growth.

[Pulmonary nocardiosis in immunocompetent patients: about 2 cases].

Nocardiosis is a rare but severe infection caused by bacteria of the genus nocardia, which belong to the order actinomycetales. If they can affect immunocompetent adult, nocardioses are pathologies affecting the individuals with weakened immune system. Pulmonary involvement is the most common manifestation, its correct management is based on diagnosis, which is often delayed due to non-specific symptoms and inconclusive specimens.

Association between untreated carious lesions and asthma in adults at Rabat University Hospital, Morocco: a cross sectional study.

Background: Depending on risk factors, cumulative risk of developing more dental caries by age has been reported. However, the association between dental caries and asthma is less studied among adults. The aims of this study were to evaluate the severity of untreated carious lesions in a population of asthmatic adults and to evaluate the mediation of socio-economic and oral health behaviour variables.

[Endobronchial aspergilloma revealing a bronchial carcinoma].

Endobronchial aspergillosis is a rare presentation of pulmonary aspergillosis in immunocompetent patients; this raises questions about structural changes inducing airflow stasis in order to colonize the bronchial lumen. We present the case of a patient diagnosed with endobronchial aspergilloma covering a bronchial adenocarcinoma.

Postmenopausal breast tuberculosis - report of 4 cases.

Background: Breast tuberculosis is an uncommon disease even in countries where the incidence of tuberculosis is high.

Case Report: This is a case series concerning 4 postmenopausal breast tuberculosis cases encountered in Moulay Youssef Hospital between January 2007 and December 2010. Breast tuberculosis represents 0.

Epidemiological, therapeutic and evolutionary profiles in patients with lymph node tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis remains a public health concern worldwide particularly in Third World countries. Lymph node (LN) tuberculosis is the most frequent extra lung localization. Because of modern transport and mass migration from the developing to the developed world, it is important for all clinicians to keep this diagnostic possibility in mind.
