Endometriosis of the abdominal wall is a rare entity, the etiopathogenesis remains unclear. It most often occurs after gynecological or obstetric surgery. We report the case of a patient with a dual localization of endometriosis in the abdominal wall, the diagnosis was made by abdominal CT scan. The treatment was surgical. The pathology study confirmed the diagnosis of parietal endometriosis. The postoperative course was uneventful with a favorable outcome for 2 years without recurrence. Through our case, we will discuss the characteristics of this entity in order to understand the interest of an early diagnosis and management to deduce possible means of prevention during each gynecological or obstetric surgery.
Mature ovarian teratomas or dermoid cysts are the most common ovarian germinal tumors and account for 20 to 25% of ovarian organ tumors. The malignant transformation of a mature teratoma is a rare event (1 to 3%), mainly found in the post-menopausal period. This is carcinomatous degeneration (80% of cases) or sarcomatous differentiated tissues of the dermoid cyst. The diagnosis of certainty is established by anatomopathological study of the surgical piece. Treatment of carcinoma teratomas is surgical and same to ovarian malignant epithelial tumors. We report four cases we managed in our health care center with a review of the literature.
Le galactocèle est une forme kystique rare, c'est une lésion bénigne du sein, apparaissant quand un canal mammaire est obstrué et très rempli de lait. On le rencontre généralement chez les femmes en post-partum, soit allaitant ou non. Il n'y a que quelques cas signalés qui ne sont pas liées à la lactation, comme on le voit chez les femmes ménopausées ou chez les hommes; tant plus, que la relation à la surproduction de prolactine, un facteur de croissance de l'épithélium mammaire n'est pas très bien défini à ce moment. Nous présentons un tel cas inhabituel d'une patiente âgée de 30 ans qui n'a pas d'antécédents d'accouchement ou l'avortement. Elle est suivie en endocrinologie pour micro adénome hypophysaire mise sous Cabergoline* qu'elle a arrêté d'elle-même pendant un an. Même compte tenu de la rareté de l'association, il est important de souligner le rôle hormonal dans l'évolution de l'anatomie du sein.
Rarely diagnosed in authors department, uterine smooth muscle tumor of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP) is one of the histologic types of uterine sarcoma. Among women undergoing hysterectomy or myomectomy for a presumed diagnosis of leiomyoma, 0.01% receive a diagnosis of STUMP. Authors report a case occurring to a patient aged of 55 which was diagnosed, managed successfully and followed-up in authors department.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
