The authors report a case of pelvic actinomycosis causing ureteral obstruction in a 30-year-old woman. An intra-uterine device being in place for 6 years is considered as the main cause. The treatment, which included a laparotomy for abscess drainage, an indwelling double pigtail ureteral stent and a 9 month antibiotherapy led to recovery after an initial relapse.

One particular case of thoracic actinomycosis is reported. The patient presented with a neurological picture mimicking a metastasis, as chest radiogram and CT-Scan indicated a primary pulmonary tumor. Diagnosis of actinomycosis was overlooked and final diagnosis was based on direct microscopy of lung tumor, which required a thoracotomy, without any resection.

Based on one case of spermatic cord liposarcoma, the authors mention the different histological types of this lesion. A review of the literature confirms this rare tumor typically occurs in the adult population; the majority of spermatic cord liposarcomas are of low grade malignancy. The treatment of choice remains radical orchidectomy with wide excision of the tumor.

Based on two cases of epidermoid cyst of the testes, one exceptional case was that of a four year old boy, the authors mention the absence of clinical and ultrasonic evidence to identify this benign tumor. The histological characteristics, described by Price, are quoted: intratesticular cyst, keratin sediment deposits, with a normal remaining parenchyma. Orchidectomy is the safest treatment; the tumoral enucleation or the partial orchidectomy is particularly appropriate when the opposite testes is missing or if it is functionally altered.

The authors report the exceptionally rare case of a huge myofibroma of the round ligament. The localization of the myoma was very unusual. It developed from the inguinal insertion of the round ligament; and the fibroma had grown in the abdominal wall between muscle and the peritoneum.
