Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas: a rare entity in children.

Solid pseudopapillary tumors (SPTs) constitute 0.2 to 2.7% of non-endocrine primary tumors of the pancreas and comprise the majority (70%) of pediatric pancreatic neoplasms. These tumors are of unclear pathogenesis, low malignancy and favorable prognosis. Surgical resection offers an excellent chance for longterm survival, even in the presence of distant metastasis. The objective of this study is to review our experience in the management of SPT in a 12 years old girl at the pediatric hospital of the University hospital of Casablanca, in Morocco and provide an update on current management in pediatric population.

[Small cell bronchial carcinoma and pregnancy: about a case with review of the literature]. / Cancer bronchique à petites cellules et grossesse: à propos d'un cas avec revue de la literature.

Bronchopulmonary cancer (CBP) in pregnant woman is a rare entity with a poor outcome. This situation is becoming increasingly common, due to the increase in smoking among women. Transplacental transmission of tumor associated with fetal damage is described especially among untreated women. Treatment is multidisciplinary and it is not well codified. We report the case of a 23 year old patient with small cell bronchial carcinoma diagnosed during pregnancy. She had received chemotherapy during pregnancy and it was well tolerated. Radiological evaluation objectified a stabilization of the pulmonary process. The treatment was completed with concomitant radiochemotherapy after delivery.
