[Retrorectal tumors in adults about 3 cases]

Retrorectal tumors [RRT] constitute a topographic entity grouping benign andmalignant tumors that are congenital for the majority, and developing in presacral retrorectal space. The multiplicity of the embryologic theories, the difficulty of their histological classification, as well as the diagnostic and therapeutic delays, will be illustrated by three new cases in the visceral surgery service of the Military Hospital of Instruction Mohammed V of Rabat. Their topographic diagnosis and extension rests on the abdomino-pelvic tomodensitometry and the imagery by magnetic resonance in order to determine the nature and especially the reports of the tumor. Their treatment rests on the surgical excision systematically. The forecast of these tumors depends of their histological nature and the quality of the surgical excision

inflammatory pseudotumors of the colon

The inflammatory pseudotumors of the colon are very rare benign lesions, of unknown etiology and whose differential diagnosis is difficult with the adenocarcinoma. Young girl patient of 12 years old, presented with mass in the right iliac fossa, the preoperative assement was in favour of right colon malignancy with retro peritoneal extension. Right colectomy was done, histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of inflammatory pseudotumors of the colon. The inflammatory pseudotumors of the colon are benign tumor they can be the origin of local and general signs colonic localization is exceptional and etiology remains unknown. Surgery is necessary to obtain an histological diagnosis of the lesion and to eliminate malignant tumor
