Unilateral pseudouveitis revealing a pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma: A case report.

Neuroendocrine tumors are a heterogeneous group of tumors with a wide range of malignant potential that tend to have a relative prolonged course. These tumors infrequently metastasize to the orbit. To the best of our knowledge, ocular metastases from pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) have never been reported in the literature.

Blastomycosis-like pyoderma in an immunocompetent patient.

Blastomycosis-like pyoderma is a rare skin disorder most commonly caused by bacterial infection. It is usually diagnosed in immunocompromised patients. We report a case of BLP in an immunocompetent woman, who presented with a 6-week history of verrucous cutaneous plaque of the left wrist.

Peculiar thousand leaves soft-tissue mass: Elastofibroma dorsi.

Elastofibroma dorsi is an uncommon benign soft-tissue tumor with uncertain pathogenesis (Medicina (Kaunas), 2021; 57, 370). Surgical excision is the therapeutic option for symptomatic patients. A pathological study confirms the diagnosis after surgery.

A 34-year-old asymptomatic gossypiboma: A fortuitous diagnosis revealed by appendicular peritonitis: A case report.

Gossypiboma is a retained surgical sponge. Patients are usually symptomatic leading to early removal of this entity. We are reporting a 33-year-old asymptomatic gossypiboma discovered by appendicular peritonitis on the radiological images.

Systemic lupus erythematosus-related acute pancreatitis: An exceptional form with severe exocrine and endocrine pancreatitic failure in a Tunisian child.

Acute pancreatitis may be the first manifestation in systemic lupus erythematosus or occur during evolution. It is a rare complication, which is often associated with other visceral manifestations. Outcome is usually favorable but can be serious.

Puzzling hepatic tumor: Epithelioid angiomyolipoma.

Hepatic epithelioid angiomyolipomas are uncommon mesenchymal neoplasms. They are difficult to diagnose by imaging, especially when the fatty component is scant or absent. The gold standard for the diagnosis is histologic examination coupled with an immunohistochemical study.

Hyperthyroidism secondary to a primary mediastinal goiter with normal functional cervical thyroid gland.

Primary mediastinal goiter is extremely uncommon. The majority of primary mediastinal goiters were reported as incidental findings on chest imaging of asymptomatic patients. Symptoms related to compression of adjacent structures or hyperthyroidism were rarely described.

Pheochromocytoma presenting as fulminant myocarditis mimicking COVID-19 pneumonia.

Adrenergic cardiomyopathy is uncommon but can be fulminant and life-threatening. Nowadays, the need to exclude the possibility of COVID-19 pneumonia in patients with acute dyspnea in a previously healthy adult may cause a delay in the diagnosis.

Non-islet-cell tumor hypoglycemia as first manifestation of an advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.

In a nondiabetic patient, fasting hypoglycemia is uncommon and warrants careful assessment. Although rare, NICTH should be considered in patients with recurrent hypoglycemia especially in those with risk factors for HCC.

Squamous cell carcinoma arising in a mature cystic teratoma of the ovary.

Ovarian teratomas with an extensive solid component in patients aged more than 40 years should raise the suspicion of malignancy. Such specimens should be thoroughly sampled, and the patient must be followed up for a long period.

Nail changes in systemic amyloidosis.

Nail examination must be an essential part of physical examination in our daily clinical practice, as nail changes may be the revealing sign of systemic diseases in the absence of other alarming signs.

Progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia: A rare entity mimicking juvenile idiopathic arthritis.

Progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia can be confused with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Treatment is mainly symptomatic and the prescription of immunosupressive agents is unnecessary. Surgery may be indicated at advanced stages of the disease.

Infectious-mononucleosis-like exanthema associated with COVID-19 in a child.

Cutaneous manifestations of childhood COVID-19 differ from those of adults. Maculopapular rash is not specific and could be mistaken with other viral exanthema. A nasopharyngeal swab is strongly recommended to confirm the possible COVID-19 diagnosis.

A diffuse large B-cell thyroid lymphoma presented as a compressive goiter in a young woman with no evidence of Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

Thyroid lymphoma should be suspected in case of rapid enlargement of the thyroid gland even in a young patient with no history of Hashimoto thyroiditis. The confirmation is based on histopathology and immunohistochemistry.

Mixed fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma.

Pure and mixed fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinomas display distinct clinical presentations and epigenetic backgrounds leading to different prognoses and as such may be regarded as separate clinical entities.

Hypopituitarism secondary to a pituitary metastasis in a young woman with an invasive breast carcinoma.

Hypopituitarism secondary to a pituitary metastasis is rare and difficult to diagnose since its symptoms are nonspecific. The presence of visual deficits and nerve palsies should suggest the presence of a pituitary metastasis in a cancer patient.

Multifocal tuberculosis on certolizumab pegol in a patient followed for rheumatoid arthritis.

Tuberculosis must be considered in front of deterioration in general condition in patient with rheumatic disease under biological therapy. Rheumatologists may pay attention and screen infections before and after prescribing biological therapy.

Pedunculated hepatic focal nodular hyperplasia: A case report and review of the literature.

Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) is a common asymptomatic benign hepatic tumor encountered in middle-aged women. However, pedunculated FNH is exceedingly rare and more frequently associated with complications. That is why surgical management is mandatory in this form.

Primary gastric squamous cell carcinoma with a bilio-gastric fistula and Krukenberg syndrome.

Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the stomach is a rare type of gastric malignancies. Diagnosis criteria are well defined but diagnosis is generally late being made at an advanced stage with metastases explaining its poor diagnosis.

Anemia-induced liver injury: A rare case revealing glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.

Hypoxic hepatitis may occur due to hemodynamic mechanisms of hypoxia secondary to anemia without any context of reduced blood flow, respiratory failure, or shock state. Etiology of anemia should be investigated in order to avoid recurrence.

Salmonella osteomyelitis complicating aseptic osteonecrosis: Don't forget about the antiphospholipid syndrome.

Osteonecrosis in antiphospholipid syndrome is a diagnostic challenge for clinicians. Early diagnosis and intervention are important for better prognosis.

Unbalanced intakes of sodium and potassium among Tunisian adults: A cross-sectional study.

The prevention and management of hypertension are untimely associated with a lowering of sodium intake. The present study aimed to evaluate the sodium and potassium intake levels of Tunisian population through measurement of 24-hr urinary sodium excretions. A randomly, multistage, cross-sectional study was conducted in an urban region (Bizerte) in Tunisia during 2015.

Effects of water deficit on leaves and fruit quality during the development period in tomato plant.

In nature, plants are often exposed to a multitude of environmental constraints that severely limit crop productivity. Water deficit is one of the factors that most affects agricultural production. The aim of this work is to evaluate the effect of water deficit on morphology, development, nutritional behavior, as well as chlorophyll fluorescence and certain important metabolic parameters (soluble sugars, organic acids, starch, carotenoid, and vitamin C) of the cultivated tomato ( cv Plovdiv).

A rare and distinct hepatic tumor: Hepatocholangiocarcinoma.

The rare histological features of hepatocholangiocarcinoma require a thorough sampling of the surgical specimen and the application of immunohistochemical techniques to confirm the diagnosis.
