Meningiomas in children are rare. They represent only 1% to 3% of all intracranial tumors. It was a case report of a childhood girl meningioma, which is from the rare tumor and presenting by seizures, evolving in an apyretic context. She had no notion of irradiation or particular personal history apart from wearing glasses since the age of 5 years. She weighed 70 kg (BMI = 31). Biological examinations were normal. The brain scan showed a left frontal extra-axial tumor process measuring 76 × 60 × 55 mm. Tumor resection was performed. Macroscopically, the surgical specimen was found to be 8 firm, lobulated, yellowish-white fragments measuring 14 × 11 × 2 cm and weighing 150 g in total. The histological examination showed a proliferation of meningothelial cells, with a tendency to stratify and to roll up on each other in an onion bulb shape, without excess of mitoses and without cortical infiltration, evoking a meningioma. Meningioma in children remains a rare tumor. In our case, seizures were the only revealing signs of this disease. Cerebral computed tomography oriented the diagnosis. Anatomopathological examination was essential for confirmation.
Ovarian fibroma is a tumor of the stroma and sex cords of the ovary. It is rare and represents 1% to 4% of benign ovarian tumors. It is sometimes associated with Demons-Meigs syndrome, raising suspicion of malignancy at the clinical and paraclinical stages. We report a case of bilateral ovarian fibroma diagnosed in the Pathological Anatomy Department of CHU Anosiala. A 46-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain and pollakiuria. Clinical examination revealed a palpable abdominopelvic mass lateralized to the right. Ultrasound suspected leiomyoma. Foci of microcalcifications were observed. The patient underwent bilateral adnexectomy. The histological study confirmed the diagnosis of bilateral ovarian fibroma. This is the first case of ovarian fibroma reported at the CHU Anosiala.
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.
