Syndrome de destombes-rosai-dorfman [a propos d'un cas]

Destombes-RosaiDorfman syndrome or "sinusal histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy" is characterized by massive and painless adenopathies, initially cervical, with a biological inflammatory syndrome and a characteristic anatomopathological aspect. This disease, though rare, poses problems of etiological diagnosis as well as differential diagnosis, chiefly with malignant hemopathies. We report an observation of a fifteen-months infant, presenting left latero-cervical left isolated adenopathies, which appeared 3 months earlier with conservation of the general state and a histological exam of a ganglionary biopsy in favour of a hemophagocytar lymphadenitis, type Destombes RosaiDorfman. On the graund of this clinical observation, histological and evolutive aspects of this disease will be studied

Meckel's diverticulum-pathology About 11 cases

The authors are reporting 11 cases of MECKEL'S divertioulum. 81,9% of the patients are boys, and two are newly born. In 8 cas, MECKEL'S divertioulum was discovered after complications [4 invaginations, 2 occlusions en bridles, 2 divertiolitis one of which was perforated]. In the recent cases, the MECKEL'S divirtioulum was found while exploring the small tripe in front of two omphaloc‚les, and one intestinal occlusion. The authors proposed to do a clinical, paraclinical and th‚rapeutic analysis of the different cases and they insist on the systemic research of this malformation
