Vaginal tuberculosis as differential diagnosis of cancer: A case report.

Tuberculosis remains a worrying public health problem. But if pulmonary tuberculosis's symptomatology is well known by the medical profession, this is not the case of genital tuberculosis. We take advantage of a case of vaginal tuberculosis to review the international literature about clinical diagnosis, further tests, and treatment of this extremely rare tuberculosis localization.

[Value of extemporaneous pathology sections in cone biopsies].

Objective: To assess the usefulness of frozen sections in cone biopsies.

Methods: Retrospective study of 60 cases: 26 without frozen section, from January 1985 to December 1988 (group 1); 34 with frozen section of the endocervical upper part of the cone, from January 1989 to December 1992 (group 2).

Results: The average height of the cone was 1.

[Pregnancy and adrenal insufficiency. Apropos of a case and reminder of management procedures].

The authors report a case of pregnancy which proceeded normally in a patient who had Addison's disease. This is not a common condition for obstetricians to meet. Thanks to replacement hormone therapy a patient with Addison's disease can become fertile and pregnancy usually starts in a patient whose chronic adrenal insufficiency (Addison's disease) is known and has been treated.

[Trophoblastic tumor at the site of placental implantation. Apropos of a new case].

The authors report a case in which a trophoblastic tumour developed at the implantation site in a 34-year-old woman in her second pregnancy. She had previously had trophoblastic disease that had persisted after a molar pregnancy. Using monoclonal anti-beta-hCG antibodies in order to localise the tumour by clinical radio immunodetection made it possible to cure the patient.
