[ rare pelvic hydatid cyst]

Pelvic localization of hydatid cyst is uncommon even in endemic countries such as Tunisia. Localization in the broad ligament represents only 0.3% of cases. A 22 year's old woman had consulted for a pelvic pain operating for a month. An abdominal ultrasound had found a compartmentalized cystic formation of 145mm lateralized to the left. The surgical exploration had found a hydatid cyst of the left broad ligament, which was resected. Hydatid cyst of the broad ligament remains extremely rare, treatment is surgical and is the only guarantee of a disease free survival

[Malakoplakia of the bladder: a cases report and review of the literature about a cases report]

Malakoplakia is an uncommon granulomatous response to chronic urinary tract infections which may mimic malignancy radiologically and/or endoscopically. The diagnosis is made on histological examination. The treatment is based on antibiotherapy associated with histological drugs. The surgical treatment is indicated when the organ is severely damaged. We report a ease of malakoplakia of the bladder in a 45 years old man

[Mixed mullerian tumors of uterus - about 25 cases]

The malignant mixed mullerian tumours [MMMT] or carcinosarcoma of the uterus are rare tumours, they represent 1,4% of all uterine neoplasia. They are characterized historically by double components carcinomatous and sarcomatous. We performed a retrospective study about 25 cases of carcinosarcoma of the endometrium, collected in Salah Azaiz Institute over a period of 30 years going from 1970 to 2000. The mean patient age was 60 years, and 68% of patients were menopaused. The metrorrhagia was revealing in 66% of cases. Clinically, an abdominopelvic mass was found in 12% of the cases. The pathological diagnosis was done in 12 endometrial biopsies and 10 biopsies of the tumour exteriorisated by the cervix. Surgery is the mainstay of the treatment. The prognosis remains dismal

[Transformation of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans on a fibrosarcoma-A case report]

The dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a rare cutaneous mesenchymal tumor characterized by a low potential of malignancy with a very low rate of metastasis but an important rate of local recurrence. Its transformation on a fibrosarcoma is exceptional, responsible of a higher metastatic potential. This transformation leads to a better surveillance. With a case report and literature review we will try to remember epidemiological, physical, histological, therapeutic, and outcome particularities of this entity

Basal cell carcinoma of the vulva. Case report and review of the literature

Basal cell carcinoma [BCC] accounts for 2 to 3% of all vulvar malignancies and for less than 1% of all BCC. More than 250 cases of vulvar BCC have been reported in the literature. Clinical, pathological and follow up data are similar to results in the present series. Treatment of choice consists of surgical excision with tumor-free margins. Because of local recurrence risk and possible association with other primary cancers in this age group, long term follow-up is necessary. We report a case of BCC of the vulva occurring in a 60 years old woman

[Degenerated perianal giant acuminatum condyloma. About 2 cases]

The Giant condyloma acuminatum [GCA] is a rare cutaneous tumour, of sexual viral transmission origin, especially reaching perianal zones. We report the cases of two men who present perianal GCA treated at the surgical oncology unit of Salah Azaiz Institute. Diagnosis of degeneration was made before the treatment in the two cases. Treatment was surgical. With a follow up of 3 and 15 years, there are no signs of recurrence
