There has been reported increased incidence of ovarian tuberculosis in the tropics since the advent of HIV/AIDS disease. We report a case of bilateral ovarian tuberculosis associated with a single right kidney of uncertain origin in an immunocompetent 15-year-old generally healthy-looking girl. Abdominopelvic scan was equivocal about the diagnosis of the lesion as it failed to differentiate it from malignancy. Tuberculin and histopathology were necessary to confirm the diagnosis of ovarian tuberculosis. Antituberculous medical therapy successfully resolved the disease.

The bone defects of the cranial vault encompassed rare malformations including acalvaria, hypocalvaria, acrania, hypocrania, anencephaly and exencephaly. They are also described in some pathological entities such as aplasia cutis congenita of the scalp. We report an unusual case of cephalic malformation which combine defects of the skin, the dura mater, and the bones of the vault, with a malformation of the central nervous system. This unique case emphasizes a problem of nosological definition between the terms mentioned above. acalvaria, the acrania, the hypocalvaria and the aplasia cutis congenita. Thus, herein, we proceed to a literature review of bone defects of the skull and their differential diagnosis.
