Oral Manifestations of Parry-Romberg Syndrome: A Case Report.

Parry-Romberg syndrome is a rare acquired disorder characterized by unilateral idiopathic progressive atrophy of the skin and soft tissues of the face, resulting in a sunken appearance. The muscles, cartilage, and underlying bony structures may also be affected. The etiology remains unclear and is based on several hypotheses.

Transgastric migration of retained intraabdominal surgical sponge: Gossypiboma in the fundus.

The retention of a surgical sponge is a rare complication that presents diagnostic challenges and carries the risk of potential complications. Two distinct foreign body reactions, fibrinous, and exudative, can result in the formation of a granuloma (known as gossypiboma) or lead to complications such as abscess formation and migration into the gastrointestinal tract. In this report, we present the case of a 33-year-old woman with a history of splenectomy who presented with symptoms including epigastric pain, vomiting, and episodes of hematemesis.

Seizures, Psychosis, and Cerebral Vascular Malformation: A Rare Chain of Events.

Background: In psychiatry, anatomical abnormalities are sometimes forgotten, and this can mislead doctors into thinking that the diagnosis is purely psychiatric. A physical examination is important whenever it is possible. Even though cerebral arteriovenous malformations (cAVMs) are rare and can go unnoticed, in some cases they can cause clinical symptoms, which is a complication.

Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Revealing a Spinal Dural Arterio-Venous Fistula: About a Rare Complication.

Subarachnoid hemorrhage is a rare complication of spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVF) with very characteristic imaging features, knowledge of which is crucial for positive diagnosis and rapid management.

Priapism and cannabism: A case report and review of the literature.

Priapism is classically defined as a partial or complete erection, abnormally prolonged in the absence of desire or sexual stimulation. Several classes of drugs as well as certain psychoactive substances (e.g.

Primary epitheloid angiosarcoma of the pleura: an exceptional tumor location.

Primary angiosarcoma of the pleura is an extremely rare tumour arising from arterial or venous pulmonary vessels of various size. It is characterized by an aggressive course and a poor prognosis. The early diagnosis is challenging due to diverse clinical and radiological manifestations.

Intracardiac Teratoma in an Infant: Report of a New Case and Literature Review.

Primitive intracardiac tumours are rare, especially in childhood, and are often discovered on autopsy. The intracardiac teratoma is the rarest intracardiac tumours of childhood. Herein, we report the case of an 11-month-old infant, which featured recurrent bronchoalveolitis since the age of 3 months, with a thoracic deformation.

When tyrosine kinase inhibitor sunitinib can be discontinued in metastatic renal cell carcinoma to pancreas: a case report.

Background: Long-term survival with durable response remains possible in the area of targeted therapies. Discontinuation of sunitinib could improve quality of life and reduce treatment costs in metastatic renal cell carcinoma with long-term disease stabilization. We discuss a case of successful interruption of antiangiogenic therapy in a patient with persisting evidence of metastases.

An atypical odontogenic myxoma.

Introduction: Odontogenic myxoma is an uncommon tumor of the jaws, benign but locally invasive. It arises from the mesenchymal portion of the tooth germ. It has a variable non-specific clinical and radiological appearance, and may be confused with other lesions of the jaws.

The complete title: The effect of interleukin-28B rs12979860 polymorphism on the therapeutic response of Moroccan patients with chronic hepatitis C.

Background/aims: There is increasing evidence for the effect of rs12979860 IL28B polymorphism in response to the standard treatment PEG-IFN/RBV (i.e. combination of pegylated interferon and ribavirin) in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.

Hibernoma of the thigh: a report of four cases.

Hibernoma is a rare benign adypocyte tumour of brown fat. We report on 4 patients with hibernoma of the thigh. Clinical features and magnetic resonance imaging suggested the tumours were liposarcomas, but biopsy yielded the diagnosis of hibernoma.

Hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumour syndrome detected by aggressive generalized osteitis fibrosa cystica.

Severe hyperparathyroidism can affect bone metabolism and be in the origine of multiple brown tumours (generalized osteitis fibrosa cystica). When associated with fibro-ossifying tumours of the jaw, it realizes a rare genetic syndrome referred as Hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumour HPT-JT. We report the case of a patient we treated for HPT-JT, and literature review.

Neuromyositis associated with cytomegalovirus infection in an immunocompetent patient with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies-associated vasculitis.

The role of CMV in ANCA-positive vasculitis is controversial. A 40-year-old man, with an unremarkable medical history, presented with progressive muscle weakness of all four limbs, accompanied by diffuse myalgia, arthralgia, and a 10 kg weight loss 2 months before admission to the Neurology Department of our hospital. Clinical examination revealed a flaccid tetraparesis with absent reflexes on the lower limbs and marked muscle atrophy.

Case note: retroperitoneal nonfunctioning paraganglioma.

Paragangliomas are extra-adrenal chromaffin tumours that develop at the expense of neuroectodermal cells of the autonomous nervous system. Retroperitoneal and nonfunctioning forms are very rare. They are often asymptomatic and can reach a substantial size.
