ABSTRACT

Our study aimed to describe the epidemiological, clinical and histological aspects of mammary tuberculosis in Togo. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study of breast tuberculosis for which the diagnosis was presumed on histological grounds in the pathology department (LAP) of the Lomé Tokoin university hospital from January 1995 to December 2016 (20 years). A total of 28 presumed cases of mammary tuberculosis were identified. There were 26 women and 2 men, with an average age of 34.2 ± 0.3 years. The clinical signs were nodule (84.1%), tumefaction (75%), abscess (63.6%) and tumefaction with cutaneous fistulization (59.1%). Breast involvement was isolated in 31.8% of cases and associated with pleuropulmonary tuberculosis in 54.5% of cases. Co-infection with HIV was found in 63.9 % of cases. Histology showed inflammatory granulomas made of Langhans giant cells, epithelioid cells and lymphocytes around the foci of caseous necrosis. Thoracic radiography was abnormal in 16 patients (57.1%).Mammary tuberculosis is not rare in our country. Clinical presentation is often misleading and is a diagnostic challenge, more particularly with breast abscess or cancer.

ABSTRACT

Gallstone ileus is a rare cause of bowel obstruction observed in older persons. The diagnosis is based on computed tomography. Enterolithotomy with or without cholecystectomy and the repair of the fistula is the treatment of choice. The aim of our study is to report two cases of gallstone ileus and to describe the epidemiology, diagnosis and therapy of gallstone ileus.


L'iléus biliaire est une cause rare d'occlusion intestinale, qu'on rencontre chez le sujet âgé. Le diagnostic est apporté par le scanner qui constitue l'examen de référence. Le traitement est chirurgical consistant en une entérolithotomie, associée ou non à une cholécystectomie et à une cure de la fistule. Le but de notre travail est de rapporter deux cas d'iléus biliaire et de décrire les particularités épidémiologiques, diagnostiques et thérapeutiques des iléus biliaires.

ABSTRACT

We report 3 cases of disseminated cysticercosis (DC) in adult male subjects in Togo. All had consulted in dermatology for asymptomatic subcutaneous nodules. The diagnosis was confirmed by histology of a resected nodule. Computed tomography allowed us to bring out the widespread dissemination of cysticerci. The skin, brain, muscle, eye, thyroid, and pleura were the affected organs. Treatment was based on albendazole and betamethasone, with adverse side effects in 2 of our 3 patients. Our 3 observations seem to be the first of their kind in Togo. The mechanism of contamination in these disseminated forms is not yet elucidated, however ingesting a gravid proglottis could be the basis of the widespread dissemination of cysticerci in the body. No consensus has yet been established in the treatment of DC and the management should follow the guideline for treatment of neurocysticercosis and ocular cysticercosis.

ABSTRACT

Objectifs : Etablir le profil épidémiologique des traumatisés, répertorier et décrire les caractéristiques des lésions visibles à la radiologie conventionnelle. Matériels et méthodologie : Il s'est agi d'une étude prospective et analytique de 12 mois (mai 2010 à avril 2011) concernant l'analyse radiographique de 302 examens de la hanche ou du bassin traumatique de l'adulte, colligés dans un service de radiologie d'un centre hospitalier préfectoral. Résultats : Il était noté une prédominance masculine avec sex-ratio 2,6. L'âge moyen des patients était de 60 ans avec des extrêmes de 18 à 95.Les accidents de la voie publique (AVP) dans 60,26% constituaient les plus fréquentes circonstances de survenue des lésions dont la fréquence était de 39,40 %.La radiographie du bassin de face en position couchée (100%), le profil urétral (25%),) et le profil chirurgical d'Arcelin (2,3%) ont été réalisés. Les lésions répertoriées étaient les fractures trochantériennes (40,33 %), les fractures cervicales (30,25 %), les fractures du cotyle (15,9 %) et les luxations (13,44 %). Au niveau du massif trochantérien, les traits de fractures étaient obliques (33,33%), multi-fragmentaires (25%), spiroïdes(22,91%). Au niveau du cotyle les traits dominants étaient obliques (42, 21%) et transversales (36,84 %) . Les fractures du col étaient classées en Garden I (20%), Garden II (,4%), Garden III (48%) et Garden IV (28 %). Les luxations postérieures étaient prédominantes dans 68,75% vs 31,25% de formes antérieures. Conclusion La radiographie conventionnelle reste est un outil de diagnostic indispensable et incontournable dans l'exploration de la pathologie traumatique de la hanche dans les situations d'urgence surtout en milieu rural où font défaut les moyens d'imagerie en coupe et les mains qualifiées

ABSTRACT

Chylous ascites is rare in children. We report on a case of chylous ascites in an 1-month-old infant in Togo. The infant had been appropriately vaccinated, had normal growth and psychomotor development, and he was living in a rural area. He had fever that had started 3 months earlier and persisted despite various treatments with antimalarials and antibiotics. Then progressively abdominal pain with abdominal distension developed, while lactescent ascites was discovered after puncture. The patient was referred to the Lomé teaching hospital for advanced management. Intradermic reaction to tuberculin (IRD) was positive (16 mm). Chylous ascites liquid analysis revealed apparently lymphocytic pleocytosis. Culture on special milieu allowed isolation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The clinical course was favorable with antituberculosis treatment. Peritoneal tuberculosis should be suspected in endemic areas in the case of a persistent fever with abdominal bloating and effusion, whatever the patient's age and the nature of ascites liquid.

ABSTRACT

In childhood, benign tumors are uncommon causes of exophtalmos. We report a case of intraorbital lipofibroma in an 11-year-old girl who presented with painless, progressive proptosis of the right eye over the preceding 6 months. Ultrasound had shown an extraconal intraorbital mass. Complete excision and pathologic examination were performed, revealing a lipofibroma with no signs of malignancy This case report is notable due to the rarity of the condition.

ABSTRACT

Objectifs : Etudier les particularités épidémiologiques et les caractéristiques à L'EDC de la TVP des MI. Matériel et Méthode : Etude rétrospective des archives de compte ­ rendu d'EDC des patients chez qui le diagnostic des TVP des MI avait été posé à l'EDC de janvier 2005 à décembre 2009. Résultats : L'EDC avait diagnostiqué 258 cas de TVP des MI. La moyenne d'âge était de 47,41 ± 17,8 ans, avec un sex ratio (M/F) de 1,53. Deux cent vingt six patients (87,60%) étaient hospitalisés. Tous les segments veineux étaient touchés, avec une localisation plus fréquente à gauche (46,51%) qu'à droite (36,84%). Elle était bilatérale dans 16,28% des cas. Les localisations distales étaient les plus fréquentes (37,21%). Conclusion : La particularité épidémiologique de la TVP des MI dans notre pays porte sur l'âge de nos patients qui est particulièrement peu élevé comparativement aux études occidentales. La topographie des lésions, est globalement superposable à celle décrite dans la littérature

ABSTRACT

But : Evaluer la contribution de l'echographie au diagnostic du syndrome de cholestase extrahepatique chez l'adulte a Lome. Materiel et Methode : Etude prospective et descriptive sur une periode d'un an (janvier a decembre 2010) de 63 patients presentant une cholestase extra-hepatique ; et chez qui l'intervention chirurgicale; et/ou la tomodensitometrie puis l'evolution ont confirme ou infirme le diagnostic echographique. Resultats : Durant la periode d'etude; nous avons realise 2862 examens echographiques et 63 patients ont ete retenus pour l'etude; soit une frequence de 2;20. L'age moyen de nos patients a ete de 44 ans avec des extremes allant de 16 a 82 ans. L'echographie a retrouve une dilatation des voies biliaires intra et extra-hepatiques chez tous les patients (100); une distension de la vesicule biliaire dans 53;97. Les etiologies du syndrome de cholestase extra-hepatique etaient multiples a l'echographie : tumeur de la tete du pancreas (46;03); lithiase du chole-doque (19;05); faux kyste de la tete du pancreas (6;35); pancreatite aigue (4;76); pancreatite chronique calcifiante (3;17); adenopathies compressives (1;59) et le diagnostic etait errone a l'echogra-phie et corrigee par la tomodensitometrie et l'evolution apres chirurgie dans 19;05. Ainsi; elle apparait avec une sensibilite de 100 et une specificite de 80;95. Conclusion: L'echogra- phie est une methode d'imagerie qui demeure la plus disponible et la plus pratiquee dans les pays en developpement pour le bilan des icteres cholestatiques en attendant une meilleure accessibilite au scanner

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this report is to describe the value of genitography in management of abnormal sexual development abnormalities discovered at a late age (> or = 10 years). Genitography was performed in 5 patients ranging from 10 to 23 years of age. No procedural difficulty was encountered in any of these patients. Genitography allowed correct determination of anatomical sex in all patients.

ABSTRACT

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours (IMTs) are clinical and pathological distinct entities with controversial biological entities. IMTs have been described in the lungs, abdomen, retroperitoneum and extremities but rarely in the head and neck region. This case report corresponds to an IMT of the nose and the paranasal sinuses in a little girl of 7 years of age. The computed tomography scan showed an expanding tumoral process without skull destruction. First case report in the west African region, this observation describes the treatment instituted according to the possible care in our medical area, and the treatment when the patient was referred to a centre with efficient technical platform. This case underlines the aggressiveness of this type of tumour: an invasive tumour with local-regional extension and high recurrence potential. Currently, after 2 years, the tumoral process is considered cured after several radical surgical excisions.
