Ovarian carcinosarcoma is a rare malignant gynecological tumor that accounts for about 1% of all ovarian cancers. The positive diagnosis of this disease is based on clinical examination, radiological examinations and essentially histological confirmation: the association of a carcinomatous component with a sarcomatous component. Generally, the treatment performed is surgical cytoreduction, followed by chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. As the prognosis is poor, the survival rate will depend mainly on the quality of surgical management.Multicenter or multinational studies, based on genetic and molecular signaling pathways, are required to better understand this tumor subtype and compare its treatment modalities.
Uterine fibroids or leiomyomas are benign myometrial tumors. They are found in 20% of women of reproductive age. Outer uterine localization is rare and of poorly understood pathophysiology, and poses a diagnostic problem. Only the pathological examination can establish the diagnosis. We report two cases of ectopic localization, the ovary and the broad ligament, the diagnosis of which was not made in the first place.
The Ovarian Carcinosarcoma also known as malignant mixed Müllerian tumor is a rare malignant neoplasm that histologically contain both epithelial and stromal components. This aggressive tumor is found not only in the ovary but also in other organs of the genito-urinary tract, including uterus. It is usually diagnosed at older age and advanced stage. The Ovarian Carcinosarcoma patients have very poor prognosis. Surgical treatment is a determining factor for the survival of patients. The response rate to chemotherapy is about 20 %. We illustrate the article with a clinical case reporting the positive diagnosis of ovarian carcinosarcoma.
The Belly Prune Syndrome is an extremely rare and complex anatomo-radiological entity with a clear male predominance. It is characterized by hypoplasia of the abdominal musculature, abnormalities of the urinary tract and bilateral cryptorchidism forming the classic triad of the syndrome. This pathology is associated in 75% of cases with pulmonary, skeletal, cardiac and gastrointestinal malformations. Nous illustrons l’article par un cas clinique rapportant le diagnostic positif du syndrome de Prune Belly.
The subcapsular hematoma of the liver (HSCF) is a rare complication of pregnancy with high maternal-fetal mortality. This therefore requires rapid diagnosis and appropriate care. His secondary rupture is one of the most serious obstetric complications. Maternal mortality is 50% to 75%, that of the fetus is 60% to 80%. We illustrate the article with a clinical case reporting the management of a subcapsular hematoma of the liver.
