An Aneurysmal Degeneration of Venous Bypass for Popliteal Artery Entrapment Syndrome.

Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) is a rare condition, and its long-term outcome after surgical treatment is scarcely reported. We report the case of an aneurysmal degeneration of a venous bypass performed to treat PAES, which ultimately led to rupture. Hybrid treatment combining embolization and surgery resulted in favorable outcome.

[Ulcer of the esophagus disclosing probable malignant histiocytofibroma of the posterior mediastinum].

We report the case of a 72-year-old woman hospitalized for dysphagia and odynophagia due to an ulcer of the esophagus. Thoracic CT-scan and esophageal endosonography revealed a tumour of the mediastinum which invaded the esophagus. Per-operative biopsies concluded to a probable malignant fibrous histiocytoma.
