[Invasive hydatiform mole in a postmenopausal woman]. / Môle hydatiforme invasive chez une patiente ménopausée.

Gestational trophoblastic disease occurs rarely in postmenopausal women. We report the case of a 51 year-old postmenopausal woman with an invasive complete mole. Invasive mole should be distinguished from choriocarcinoma, by a thorough sampling showing infiltrative molar villi associated with a prominent trophoblastic proliferation. Gestational trophoblastic diseases in postmenopausal women can represent malignant changes of trophoblastic remnants of a prior pregnancy after a period of latency or correspond to a possible current pregnancy as demonstrated by an ovarian corpus luteum of pregnancy in our patient. The unusual finding in our case is that the gestational trophoblastic disease follows a pregnancy occurring after a biologically confirmed menopause.

[Giant cell fibroblastoma recurring as dermatofibrosarcoma. A pediatric case report]. / Fibroblastome à cellules géantes récidivant sous forme de dermatofibrosarcome.

Giant cell fibroblastoma (GCF) is a rare neoplasm occurring mostly in children. It has a tendency to recur locally after treatment. We report a new case noticed in an five year-old child who developed recurrence a first time three years later with the picture of GCF and at a second time with the picture of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans 17 months later.
