These tumors occur mainly in young women and have a good prognosis. We present a case of a 19-year-old female patient who presented to the emergency for abdominal pain. Physical examination reveals a left hypochondrium mass. Ultrasound imaging showed an encapsulated caudal pancreatic mass with cystic components. The patient underwent tumor excision and lymph node removal. Macroscopically, the tumor was encapsulated and measuring 12 × 8 × 7 cm. It has a solid-cystic and hemorrhagic appearance inside. Histologically, the tumor had two components: solid and papillary. Tumor tissue showed monomorphic tumor cells radiating around blood vessels. Perineural invasion and vascular emboli were not seen. Three lymph nodes without metastases were observed. The diagnosis of solid-pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas (SPT) or Frantz’s tumor was retained. Solid-pseudo-papillary tumor of the pancreas is rare and not always suspected by the physician. The clinical and imaging patterns are not specific. Anatomopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis. The patient underwent curative surgery.展开更多

This illness is a major public health challenge in Madagascar and around the world. The disease can develop in the lungs and other organs. Digestive tuberculosis is rare, accounting for 10% of extrapulmonary forms. Symptoms are not specific. Diagnosis is based on anatomical pathology examination. The purpose of this study is to determine the epidemiological and anatomopathological characteristics of abdominal tuberculosis. Our study was a retrospective, descriptive study conducted at the Pathological Anatomy and Cytology Unit of the University Hospital Center of Joseph Ravoahangy Andrianavalona over a 10-year period from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2021. Digestive localization accounted for 17 cases, which are 1.85% of extra-pulmonary localizations. The mean age of patients was 33 years with extremes of 9 and 66 years. The sex ratio was 4.67. Pain was the main symptom, accounting for 76.47% of cases. Histological aspects were caseo-follicular in 82.35% (n = 14) of cases, follicular in 11.76% (n = 2) and caseous in 5.89% (n = 1). Patients were treated with isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol. Surgery has sometimes been required. Tuberculosis is a public health problem in Madagascar. Digestive localization of the disease is mainly observed in young adults especially among men. Clinical signs are not specific, and diagnosis is based on anatomopathology. Treatment is medical but sometimes surgery may be necessary.展开更多

It holds second place among parasitic endemics in the world. Schistosoma can infect various organs through the blood vessels. The genital form affects at least 16 million women in endemic areas, and the uterine cervix is the most common site. Two cases of cervical cancer associated with schistosomiasis of the cervix are presented. The aim of this study is to discuss the epidemiological, clinical and histopathological features. Both of the patients lived in Mahanjaga, aged respectively 57 and 43 years old. They complained of uterine bleeding disorder and presented cauliflower lesions with ulceration of the uterine cervix that extended to the vagina in one case. They were undergone cervical biopsies. The diagnosis was, in both cases, invasive, well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma with cervical schistosomiasis.</span> </div>展开更多
