Breast angiosarcomas are rare tumors, their diagnosis is difficult and the prognosis is worst. We report the case of radiation-induced breast angiosarcoma. The diagnosis is histological and was only made on the surgical specimen. The treatment was essentially surgical. Through this case as well as a review of the literature, we have made an update on this disease.
The decision of pregnancy for a woman with Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) requires considering the consequences of RA on conception and course of pregnancy but also on pregnancy on the course of RA. Fertility is not decreased in RA, however, fertility is lower in RA. Complications of pregnancy such as hypertension, preeclampsia or caesarean scar are more frequent in RA, although there is an increase that is fortunately unimportant. Pregnancy represents for two thirds of women with RA a period of calm with sometimes capricious course of the disease, despite the considerable reduction in the treatment. Several hormonal and immunological mechanisms explain this improvement.
Maternal benefits of fetal extraction have been clearly demonstrated in the case of hemodynamic failure. However, in case of respiratory failure very little data are available. The aim of our study is to discuss the management of patients with respiratory distress during pregnancy secondary to a pleuropulmonary disease.
Vaginal Angioleiomyoma is a rare entity. We report a case of vaginal Angioleiomyoma with literature review. Our case was about a 48 years old woman who consulted for a nodule in the posterior wall of the vagina. The surgery allowed removal of a tissue-like structure of 2 cm. The final histologic diagnosis was a vaginal Angioleiomyoma.
