Background: Phylloid sarcomas are rare. There is not enough data to codify the management. Objectives: The objective was to study the clinical and therapeutic aspects and the fate of patients after a follow-up of at least 4 years. Thus contributing to the limited body of knowledge on these tumors. Methods: a retrospective analysis of the files from 2013 to 2017 was carried out and patients were followed up until 2021at Hassan II Hospital. Epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic aspects were studied. Survival was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: We collected 12 charts of patients treated for phyllodeal sarcoma from 2013 to 2017. The median age was 43 years. The circumstance of discovery was marked by the presence of nodule in all patients. The coupled echo-mammography examination classified the nodules, ACR 4 in 7 patients and ACR 3 in 3 and ACR 5 in 2 patients. Histological examination revealed a phylloid sarcoma in 11 patients and a borderline phylloid tumor in 1 patient. All patients had radical surgery with positive margins in 2 patients, 16.66%. One patient had revision surgery. Histological examination of the surgical specimens showed phylloid sarcoma on all specimens. All patients had adjuvant radiotherapy with doses of 50 Gy in 25 fractions of 2 Gy and a boost of 10 Gy was done in one patient. The median spread of radiotherapy was 37 days. Grade 1 and 2 skin toxicities were noted in 5 and 3 patients respectively. The median time from surgery to radiotherapy was 2.95 months. 3 patients relapsed after 13.

INTRODUCTION: Esophageal cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world affecting males more often than females and with a poor prognosis. The aim of our work was to describe the epidemiology of patients followed for esophageal cancer at the Joliot-Curie Institute in 2018. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a descriptive retrospective study including all patients followed at the institute from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018 for esophageal cancer with histological evidence. RESULTS: We collected 93 patients referred to the institute for the management of esophageal cancer, 46 women (49.5%) and 47 men (50.5%). The mean age was 49 years with a median age of 50 and extremes of 22 and 84 years. The notion of smoking was found in 24 patients (25.8%) exclusively men (51%), associated in six cases with a notion of alcoholism. The median consultation time was five months. The main circumstance of discovery remains dysphagia (87.1%), followed by aphagia (4.3%) and odynophagia (4.3%). Squamous cell carcinoma is the most represented histological type with 89 patients (95.7%) distributed as follows: 45 women and 44 men. Adenocarcinoma was found in three cases (two men and one woman) and finally one case of adenosquamous carcinoma. CONCLUSION: Squamous cell carcinoma is the most frequent esophagus cancer. It represents the fifth location in our institute and occurs in young patients without gender predominance.
