Metatypical basal cell carcinoma: A successful balance between oncologic outcome and aesthetic result, a case report.

Introduction: Metatypical basal cell carcinoma is a rare and aggressive subtype of skin cancer. It necessitates a careful and nuanced approach to management. The first-line treatment is a wide surgical excision, which can lead to significant tissue loss.

Unveiling the uncommon: Exploring a rare variant in right ovarian vein drainage: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: The right ovarian vein typically drains into the inferior vena cava, while the left ovarian vein terminates in the left renal vein. Variations in the drainage pattern of the ovarian veins are infrequent, with reported incidences ranging from 0.03 % to 9.

Conservative treatment in uterine perivascular epithelioid cell tumor of uncertain malignant potential: a case report.

Introduction: Perivascular epithelioid cell tumors are uncommon mesenchymal tumors. The genital tract is the most common extrarenal location. Preoperative diagnosis is rarely achieved owing to non-specific symptoms and imaging features.

A Late Recurrent Metastatic Breast Cancer Mimicking Primary Pancreatic Cancer: Case Report.

Metastasis to the pancreas from malignant tumors is a rare event, representing only 1% to 2% of all pancreatic neoplasms. They occur in 2 different clinicopathological settings: as a manifestation in widespread metastatic disease or as an isolated mass in the pancreas. We report the case of a 41-year-old woman who had a history of invasive lobular breast cancer treated with radical surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy.

The perception of burnout and related influencing factors in Tunisian oncology nurses.

Background: Oncology nurses constantly provide emotional support to patients and are confronted with their suffering, which represents chronic stress leading to the development of burnout syndrome.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of burnout and identify associated factors in a sample of oncology nurses.

Methods: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study with 70 oncology nurses at the Salah Azaiez Institute of Oncology in Tunisia.

An isolated vaginal metastasis from rectal cancer: a case report.

Introduction: Vaginal metastasis from colorectal cancer is a rare occurrence, typically associated with other metastatic lesions. Isolated metastasis is exceedingly uncommon, with only a few cases documented in the literature. Vaginal involvement in colorectal cancer primarily results from direct contiguous spread from the primary tumor.

A case study of abdominal wall and limb necrotizing fasciitis: an extremely rare post -operative complication.

Introduction: Infectious affections are the most frequent post-operative complications, the rate have been reducing due to the administration of perioperative antibiotics and they are rarely serious. They are usually associated to pelvic collections, fistulas, urinary tract stenosis and, exceptionally, necrotizing fasciitis (FN) and pelvic organ necrosis. There is no well-codified treatment.

Primary cutaneous apocrine carcinoma: A challenging case report.

Introduction: Primary cutaneous apocrine carcinomas of the axilla represents an extremely rare entity, with <200 cases reported in the literature. It can be challenging, even almost impossible, to distinguish histologically from metastases of breast origin. We herein present the first case of an axillary cutaneous apocrine adenocarcinoma followed and treated in our institute.

Primary thyroid lymphoma: a case series.

Introduction: Primary Thyroid Lymphoma (PTL) is defined as lymphoma involving the thyroid gland alone or the thyroid gland and adjacent neck lymph nodes without contiguous spread or distant metastases at the time of diagnosis. Most thyroid lymphomas are B cell lymphomas, and 98% of all PTL cases are non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. It is a rare disease accounting for around 5% of the thyroid neoplasms and 2% of extranodal lymphomas.

De novo male breast metastases from nasopharyngeal carcinoma: a case report.

Background: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is known for its high potential for regional and distant metastasis. However, breast metastasis is rarely reported.

Case Presentation: A 39-year-old Caucasian male presented with bilateral neck lymph node enlargement.

Cutaneous metastasis as a first presentation of lung carcinoma: a case series.

Introduction: Cutaneous metastases (CM) revealing lung carcinoma are extremely rare, accounting for 0.8%. The diagnosis is guided by histology and immunohistochemistry.

A huge prolapsed cervical leiomyoma: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Uterine leiomyoma is the most common pelvic tumor in women. Its cervical location is rare and may extend into the vagina in 2.5 % of cases.

Chemoradiotherapy or chemotherapy as adjuvant treatment for resected gastric cancer: should we use selection criteria?

Background: The management of gastric adenocarcinoma is essentially based on surgery followed by adjuvant treatment. Adjuvant chemotherapy (CT) as well as chemoradiotherapy (CTRT) have proven their effectiveness in survival outcomes compared to surgery alone. However, there is little data comparing the two adjuvant approaches.

[Primary penile cancer: about 11 cases and literature review].

Penile cancer is a rare pathology in Tunisia where circumcision is a common practice. Squamous cell carcinoma accounts for 95% of cases. Treatment is essentially based on surgery.

Inflammatory breast cancer in Tunisia: epidemiological and clinical trends.

Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is characterized by a peculiar geographic distribution in incidence, being described as more common in Tunisia and the region of North Africa. The authors performed a systematic review of published literature on rapidly progressing breast cancer and IBC in Tunisia and analyzed the evolution in epidemiology, clinical presentation, treatment, and therapeutic results. They collected, analyzed, and compared all the indexed Tunisian articles about rapidly progressing breast cancer and IBC since the 1970s opening of the Institut Salah Azaiz Institute in Tunis.

[Male breast cancer: about 123 cases collected at the Institute Salah-Azaiz of Tunis from 1979 to 1999].

Male breast cancer is rare compared to its female counterpart representing less than 1% of cancer in men. The objective of our retrospective study is to report the epidemiologic and clinical profile and to analyse the therapeutic results and prognostic factors in a Tunisian population collected during a period of 20 years at a single institution. We collected from 1979 to 1999, all the histological confirmed male breast cancers treated at our institution.

[Leiomyosarcoma of the penis: a case report and review of the literature].

The sarcoma of the penis is a very rare tumor more exceptional is the Leiomyosarcoma of the penis for which the diagnosis required an immunohistochemical study. The prognosis for this tumor is poor. We report a case, which arise to a 53 year-old-man in this instance we did a review of the medical literature.
