Small cell carcinoma of the endometrium: A clinicopathological study and management of three cases.

Endometrial small cell carcinoma (ESCC) is an extremely rare and aggressive tumor with poor prognosis. It is characterized by early regional and systemic spread leading to rapid development of lymph nodes, pelvic and extrapelvic metastasis and compromising the outcome. In this paper, we reported three cases of ESCC confirmed by pathological and immunohistochemistry studies.

[Paraneoplastic dermatomyositis revealing an undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma: about a case].

Dermatomyositis (DM) is an inflammatory disease of unknown origin that manifests as a myopathy associated with typical skin lesions. Association between DM and cancer is frequent (from 18% to 32% according to case series). It was described for the first time by Stertz in 1916 in association with gastric cancer.
