Only around 50 cases have been described in the world literature since 1963. Diagnosis can be difficult due to the highly misleading solid pseudotumoral appearance of this infection. The purpose of this report is to describe the case of a 40-year-old patient with an intrauterine device who presented abdomino-pelvic pain associated with guarding in the right iliac fossa. Pelvic ultrasound revealed an ovarian mass. Histological examination of the surgical specimen after annexectomy demonstrated tubo-ovarian actinomycosis. Based on this case involving a rare clinical form of the actinomycosis, we review the various clinical aspects of this infection and underline the importance of histology in achieving diagnosis. We also provide a general review of the literature.

It is a rare viral disease, essentially transmitted by sexual intercourse, characterized by a potential for malignant transformation, invasion and recurrence after treatment. We report a case of BLT associated with perinea-scrotal melanoma. This association was never described in the literature. The purpose of our case report is to discuss the clinical and pathological appearances of these two entities and to outline the recent studies of molecular biology, which can explain this association.

It is a tumor characterized by two components, epithelial and mesenchymal. Case report A 73-year-old woman, without disease history, presented with an anterior cervical mass that had developed over three months with associated dysphonia and multiple cervical lymphadenopathy. Laryngoscopy revealed a

Case report. We report a new case of a seventy years old woman presenting with a large facial midline mass extending to the nasal cavity, having evolved for six months. Subsequent computed tomography revealed a mass destroying the nasal septum and extending to the endocrane. Intranasal biopsy revealed a chondrosarcoma. The extended work up revealed pulmonary metastasis. The course was not favourable and the patient died after one year. Discussion. The bones of the pelvis and of the lower extremities are the most common localizations for chondrosarcoma. It is rarely located in the nasal septum. Histological analysis is required for the diagnosis. It is characterized clinically by local aggressiveness, frequent metastatic evolution, and poor prognosis. Surgical resection is reserved to operable cases. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy used as adjuvant treatment and palliation are not effective.

The most of them are adenomas, generally considered to be premalignant. One approach to prevention is based on recognition and removal of those polyps. The aim of this study was to determine basic demographic features, anatomic distribution and characteristics of colorectal polyps in a local population of Morocco.

It is very rare. Forty cases only are reported in the literature. We report the observation of a 50-year-old patient, having an antecedent of prolonged confinement, who presents since 1 year a tumefaction compared to the higher end of the tibia of soft consistency with inflammatory signs in glance. The pathologic examination shows a pseudo tumoral lesion of ischemic fasciite type. Through this observation, we suggest to review the various problems of diagnostic differentials in particular with a sarcoma of soft tissues and to discuss the anatomoclinic features of this recent description lesion.
