Pre-sacral glomangioma: a rare localization of glomus tumors: case report.

Introduction And Importance: Deep-located glomangiomas are rarely reported. Because of their scarcity, treatment strategy is hard to establish. Herein, the authors report the first case to our knowledge of pre-sacral glomangioma.

When thoracic trauma does more good than harm: About an incidental finding of a gangliocytic paraganglioma of the ampulla of Vater.

Gangliocytic paragangliomas are benign neuro-endocrine tumors of the ampulla of Vater. Their preoperative diagnosis is hampered by the low yield of biopsies and non-specific imaging. Their management relies then on resection.

Acquired Ichthyosis Revealing Lymphocytic Colitis.

A 69-year-old patient with no personal or family history of ichthyosis consulted our dermatology department for diffused cutaneous xerosis with intense pruritus evolving for 3 weeks. Physical examination revealed diffused ichthyosis of large polygonal fine scales on the skin without erythema (Figure 1). The lesions spared the face.

Cutis verticis gyrata in a 24-year-old young man revealing a T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma.

T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) is frequently revealed by amediastinal mass or peripheral lymphadenopathy. Skin lesions in T-LBLusually present as multiple nodules associated with multiple peripherallymphadenopathy and bone marrow invasion. Our patient is particular bythe revealing presentation of the lesions as Cutis verticis gyrate.

X-linked recessive ichthyosis in 8 Tunisian patients: awareness of misdiagnosis due to the technical trap of the STS pseudogene.

Introduction: X-linked recessive ichthyosis (XLI) is a genodermatosis, caused by a deficiency of the steroid sulphatase enzyme encoded by the STS gene (OMIM # 300,747). Adopted XLI molecular diagnosis approaches differ from one laboratory to another depending on available technical facilities. Our work aims to figure out a sound diagnostic strategy for XLI.

Photodistributed pustular acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis revealing an acute myeloid leukemia.

Sweet syndrome is a rare inflammatory dermatosis that can be associated with various diseases, including leukemias. Physicians should be aware that a photodistributed clinical presentation of a pustular SS may reveal underlying malignancies, particularly hemopathies. If the hemopathy is known, recurrence lesions should be suspected of a relapse.

Domperidone-induced pityriasis rosea-like drug eruption.

Pityriasis rosea is a common, acute, self limiting inflammatory skin disease. Pityriasis rosea-like eruptions (PR-LE) have been reported after drugs. The clinical presentation of PR-LE can be distinguished from pityriasis rosea.

The management of appendicular abscesses in a Tunisian Tertiary Care Hospital.

Background: This study aims to describe the epidemiological, clinical, and radiological features of appendicular abscesses, compare the different approaches, and assess the safety and utility of laparoscopy in its management.

Methods: This descriptive retrospective study was carried out over 3 years extending from January 2017 to December 2019, reporting 150 appendicular abscesses cases. Data were collected from the register of the general surgery department B of the Rabta hospital.

Acute intraperitoneal rupture of hydatid cysts of the liver: Case series.

Hydatid cyst is a parasitic infection caused mainly by Echinococcus granulosus, which is generally considered benign. However, the hepatic hydatid cyst rupture in the abdominal cavity is a life-threatening incident that requires urgent and multidisciplinary management (emergency physicians, radiologists, anesthetists, and surgeons). This study describes clinical and paraclinical liver hydatid cyst rupture in the peritoneal cavity and details the appropriate treatment.

Surgical management of a hepatic hydatid cyst fistulized into the duodenum: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Hydatid cyst of liver is a disease usually seen in endemic regions. Fistulization into duodenum is one of the most exceptional complications of the hydatid cyst commonly discovered during surgery. This paper aims to present and discuss a rare case of cyst ruptured into the duodenum.

Gallbladder adenomyomatosis: Diagnosis and management.

Introduction: Gallbladder adenomyomatosis is a benign acquired gallbladder disease. It can mimic cancer on radiological findings, leading to a diagnostic dilemma. The management and prognosis of these two gallbladder anomalies are entirely different.

The deceitful diagnosis of gallbladder volvulus: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: The gallbladder volvulus is a rare but life-threatening condition characterized by an axial torsion of the gallbladder along the cystic pedicle, causing gallbladder ischemia and necrosis. This paper aims to present and discuss a rare case of gallbladder volvulus. This case report has been reported in line with the SCARE criteria 2020 [1].

Management of acute sigmoid volvulus: A Tunisian experience.

Background/objective: Sigmoid volvulus is the most common type of volvulus. Its epidemiological features, as well as its management, differ between developed and developing countries. This work aims to analyze the epidemiological features thus allowing to compare them to the rest of the "volvulus belt'' and assess the surgical management of sigmoid volvulus in Tunisia.

Heavy metals accumulation from sewage sludge in the Nile tilapia (Trewavas, 1983) during a sludge-earthworm-fish short-term cycling.

Municipal sewage sludge from waste-water treatment is an important nutritional source for sustainable agriculture. Here, we report on the assessment of the accumulation of heavy metals in Nile tilapia (Trewavas 1983) fed on earthworms reared on soil treated with different concentrations of sewage sludge (25% and 100%) during sludge-earthworm-fish short-term cycling. In this short-term cycling the Nile tilapia collected from the White Nile were chosen as final consumers, whereas the earthworms reared on loam soil mixed with different ratios of sludge were used as a feed for the final consumers.
