Breast metastasis from squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx: a case report.

Background: Breast metastases from extramammary tumors are extremely rare, the most common primary tumors being contralateral breast carcinoma, followed by lung, gynecological, gastrointestinal, melanoma, and hematological cancers. Only a few cases deriving from head and neck squamous cell carcinoma have been reported in the literature to date.

Case Presentation: We report a case of a 47-year-old Caucasian woman who presented to our hospital with a solitary breast lesion in the right upper external quadrant associated with multiple bone and visceral metastases.

[Breast cancer treated by antibiotherapy? Granulomatous mastitis with Corynebacterium].

Granulomatous mastitis is a rare disease, often associated with Corynebacterium infection. It raises the problem of diagnosis of breast tumor with a fast evolution and inflammatory character. We report two cases of granulomatous mastitis with Corynebacterium.

[Gynandroblastoma and Fragile X syndrome. Case report].

Gynandroblastoma is a rare ovarian tumor, derived sex cord-stromal, malignant, with low scalable potential. Clinical investigations include endocrinology or gynecological troubles, or pelvic mass syndrome. After pelvic MRI of reference, optimum surgery is the treatment of gynandroblastoma.

Subacute myopathy in a mature patient due to multiple acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency.

Introduction: Multiple acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD), also called glutaric aciduria type II, is an inherited metabolic disorder resulting from a deficiency in electron transfer flavoprotein (ETF) or of its ubiquinone oxidoreductase (ETF-QO). It usually occurs in the neonatal period or in early infancy and, very rarely, in adolescents and young adult patients.

Methods: We report the case of a 55-year-old woman who developed a painful subacute myopathy.

Wernicke encephalopathy and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

We assessed the prevalence of Wernicke encephalopathy (WE) in all 657 cases suspected of Creutzfeldt-Jakob (CJD) referred from 2001 to 2006 to the French Neuropathology Network of CJD. Clinical, biological and imaging data were reviewed when the diagnosis of WE was made at autopsy. No CJD was found in five cases suspected of sporadic CJD.
