Braised plantain is made from ripe or unripe plantains braised over a low charcoal heat. This cooking of plantains could expose consumers to a mixture of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) from the combustion of wood or charcoal, some of which are found to be carcinogenic. The objective of this study is to assess the risks associated with the consumption of plantains braised over a low charcoal heat and sold in the Man market. To perform this study, rats of the Wistar strain were fed a diet based on braised plantains. This study allowed us to obtain high ingestions by the rats of between 10.56 ± 0.08 g / d and 11.26 ± 0.07 g / day and a weight gain of these same rats of between 9.50 ± 0.16 g / day and 9.74 ± 0.20 g / day. Unfortunately, the blood and urine analyzes of these rats used revealed high levels of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons of between 2.6 ± 0.20 and 3 ± 0.7 g / ml for the blood and 1.5 ± 0.50 at 2 ± 0.6 g / ml for urine. The excessive consumption of plantains braised over a low charcoal heat and sold in the Man market can cause cancer consumers. These braised plantains sold in the Man market contain high levels of PAH.

Solitary fibrous tumor is a rare mesenchymal tumor. It located preferentially at pleural, rarely seen in extrathoracic sides. This tumor shows a high risk of local recurrence and a poor prognosis within an incomplete resection. The authors present a case of malignant solitary fibrous tumor in a 39-year-old woman, diagnosed at the antero-medial part of the left thigh. In trying to recall the clinical and pathological features and treatment of this rare entity.

Objective: To report an uncommon presentation of a rare case of autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type IIIb in a patient presenting as well with Small Duct Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis. Clinical Presentation and Intervention: A 42-year-old man presented with jaundice and intermittent fever. Blood tests showed macrocytic anaemia due to vitamin B 12 deficiency compatible with Biermer’s disease. A thyroid function test was consistent with hyperthyroidism compatible with Basedow’s disease. And Liver biopsy revealed signs compatible with Small Duct Sclerosing Cholangitis. A final diagnosis of Small Duct Sclerosing Cholangitis with Biermer’s disease and Basedow’s disease, which constituted autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type IIIb, was made and the patient was treated with L-thyroxine, vitamin B 12 injection and Ursodeoxycholic acid with a impressive improvement during his follow up. Conclusion: This case showed a rare combination between APS type IIIb and Small Duct Sclerosing Cholangitis and that the presence of one autoimmune endocrine disease should prompt clinicians to look for other coexisting autoimmune diseases which may be asymptomatic.
