Testicular Incidentaloma on F-choline PET/CT in a Patient with Prostatic Adenocarcinoma.

Prostatic adenocarcinoma is characterized by elevated phosphatidylcholine metabolism. F-choline positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is widely used for patients with biochemical recurrence and a prostate-specific antigen threshold above 2 ng/mL. We report a case of a patient with high-risk prostatic adenocarcinoma undergoing F-choline PET/CT for biochemical recurrence.

Zinner syndrome: A rare congenital cause of infertility.

Zinner syndrome is a rare congenital malformation characterized by cystic seminal vesicles and ejaculatory duct obstruction in association with ipsilateral renal agenesis. It appears to be frequently linked to infertility. However, recent advances in imaging, notably MRI, have led to an increase in the diagnosis of this pathology.

Infective Endocarditis Caused by Carbapenemase-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae on a Prosthetic Valve: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Infective endocarditis (IE) is a rare but severe disease due to frequent and serious complications. Healthcare-associated cases often involve , while Gram-negative bacteria such as , though rare, pose severe challenges due to their resistance profiles. We report a case of a 68-year-old woman with a history of hypertension and mitral valve replacement 12 years ago, who was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for management of non-traumatic, afebrile altered mental status due to intracerebral hemorrhage from anticoagulant overdose.

Atrial fibrillation and flank pain: Think renal infarction: A case report.

Renal infarction is a rare pathology, threatening the functional prognosis of the kidney. Given the lack of clinical features specific to this pathology, the practitioner may wrongly diagnose pyelonephritis or other causes of abdominal pain. Renal infarction frequently occurs in patients with thromboembolic risk factors, most often secondary to atrial fibrillation.

Generalized Peritonitis Secondary to Spontaneous Rupture of the Urinary Bladder.

A spontaneous rupture of the urinary bladder (SRUB) is an exceedingly rare surgical emergency that might be misdiagnosed, resulting in a high mortality risk. Clinicians should be mindful that secondary peritonitis can occur as a result of a ruptured urinary bladder, which is frequently misdiagnosed and undertreated. The majority of cases are identified during laparotomy.

Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas mistaken for gastrointestinal stromal tumor: A case report.

Solid pseudopapillary epithelial neoplasms of the pancreas are rare entities, first described in 1959 by Frantz. These tumors represent less than 2% of pancreatic cancers and mainly affect young women. They can reach a significant size and its radiological features can lead to diagnostic pitfalls, such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors, which are rare soft-tissue sarcomas that can appear anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract.

A Case of Dual Septic Foci in Both the Joint and Pleural Cavity Caused by Streptococcus agalactiae.

Group B Streptococcus (GBS or ) is a common component of the human flora. However, infections in adults are infrequent, and occurrences of infectious pleurisy or septic arthritis are exceedingly uncommon. To our knowledge, the concurrent manifestation of both conditions has not been previously documented.

Endoscopic management of a transgastric migrated gossypiboma: A case report.

Textiloma, also known as gossypiboma, is a rare but well-documented entity. It involves the omission of surgical material during surgery. Gossypiboma remains a diagnostic dilemma to this day, due to its wide spectrum of clinical symptoms and numerous radiological pitfalls.

The Evaluation of the BioFire FilmArray Meningitis/Encephalitis Panel for the Detection of Bacteria and Yeast in Cerebrospinal Fluid Specimens.

Background and objective Infectious meningitis and encephalitis are serious diseases that can have fatal consequences, especially in the case of bacterial meningitis. Molecular biology has made it possible to quickly introduce appropriate treatment. Our study aims to evaluate the FilmArray Meningitis/Encephalitis Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Panel (BioFire Diagnostics, Salt Lake City, Utah) implemented in our department compared to traditional methods.

Non-Secretory Multiple Myeloma: A New Observation and Review of the Literature.

Non-secreting multiple myeloma is a rare variant of multiple myeloma that affects a relatively young population. It is characterized by the non-secretory nature of malignant plasma cells. The following case report describes the history of a 54-year-old patient with non-secretory myeloma revealed by mechanical and inflammatory low back pain.

Introduction: The pre-analytical step of cytobacteriological examination of urine (CBEU) is one of the most critical in microbiology.

Aim: To analyze quantitatively and qualitatively the pre-analytical non-conformities related to the CBEU in order to propose reliable corrective measures.

Method: This was a 76-month retrospective study from March 2016 to June 2022.

A Rare Coexistence of Smoldering Multiple Myeloma and JAK2-Positive Myeloproliferative Neoplasm: A Case of Dual Synchronous Hematological Malignancy.

This article explores the rare case of an 82-year-old man diagnosed concurrently with essential thrombocythemia and smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM). The limited existing literature on individuals harboring both myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) and monoclonal gammopathy (MG) is of significant interest due to the distinct origins of these malignancies. The etiology of MG in MPN patients remains elusive, leading to speculation about a potential relationship or interplay between the two conditions.

Soft Tissue Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue Lymphoma: A Rare Case With an Interesting Presentation and Review of the Literature.

Soft tissue mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is a rare type of marginal zone lymphoma. Herein, we report a case of a 61-year-old patient who developed soft-tissue marginal zone lymphoma in the right arm. He was treated with rituximab-chlorambucil with good metabolic response and no evidence of disease recurrence after one year of follow-up.

Haemophilus influenzae Urethritis: A Localization to Consider.

Urethritis may be acute or subacute and can be classified as gonococcal or nongonococcal. Nongonococcal urethritis is mainly dominated by . Other bacteria such as have been implicated in some cases.

The Role of Surgery in the Treatment of Cervical Lymph Node Tuberculosis.

Cervical lymph node tuberculosis is a public health problem in Morocco and the rest of the world. Its paucibacillary nature makes diagnosis and treatment difficult. This is a descriptive-analytical retrospective study presenting 104 cases of patients with manifestations of cervical lymph node tuberculosis confirmed by pathological examination (100%), associated in some cases with positive bacteriology (40.

Influence of the Size and Location of the Perforation on the Anatomical Results of Myringoplasty.

Introduction: Type 1 tympanoplasty (myringoplasty) is the surgical closure of a perforated eardrum. Its purpose is to restore the integrity of the tympanic membrane and to improve hearing in the affected ear. Nowadays, we note the increasing use of cartilage as material for the reconstruction of the tympanic membrane.

Anasarca Revealing Severe Cardiac Involvement Due to Behçet's Disease (BD): A Case Report.

Behçet's disease (BD) is a systemic vasculitis which is most often manifested by recurrent oral aphthosis, genital aphthosis, and ocular involvement with sometimes visceral damage, in particular neurological, digestive, vascular, or renal. We report the case of a 21-year-old man admitted for anasarca who revealed severe cardiac involvement associating endomyocardial fibrosis, intracardiac thrombi and involvement of the tricuspid valve in the context of BD diagnosed a posteriori. Cardiac involvement is exceptional during BD, especially as a mode of entry into the disease.

Essential thrombocythemia and aortic dissection,causal or incidental association?

Only few cases of vascular dissection and essential thrombocythemia association have been reported. To the best of our knowledge, we reported the second case of aortic dissection and essential thrombocythemia association in a 60-year-old man with positive JAK2V617F mutation who had no history of hypertension or connective tissue disorders. Through this case, we discussed the eventual existence of a causal relationship between the two conditions.
