[Massive haemoptysis revealing bilateral sequestration in an adult: 3-year follow-up after embolization and surgery]. / Hémoptysie massive révélatrice de séquestration pulmonaire bilatérale chez un adulte : évolution à 3ans après embolisation et chirurgie.

Pulmonary sequestration is a rare vascular malformation which is most of the time unilateral. We report here the case of a 35-year-old male admitted for severe haemoptysis revealing bilateral pulmonary sequestration: one type 1 of Pryce in the right lower lobe and one type 2 of Pryce in the left lower lobe. Bilateral embolization was performed followed by a segmental resection of the left lower lobe sequestration by thoracotomy. After 3-year follow-up, the patient was asymptomatic and had no recurrence of haemoptysis. Enhanced computed tomography scan showed proximal occlusion of the right lower lobe sequestration systemic artery.

[Tuberculosis of the submandibular gland: a case report]. / Tuberculose de la glande sous-mandibulaire: un piège diagnostique.

INTRODUCTION: Tuberculosis remains an important public health problem in France. After a certain decline, its incidence has remained unchanged since 1990. 30% of tuberculosis cases are extra-pulmonary form, most of them concern nodes especially in cervical areas. CASE REPORT: This case of submandibular tuberculosis illustrates diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties. DISCUSSION: There are few clinical signs or laboratory clues suggestive of tuberculosis, however a surgery cannot be avoided and must be performed in combination with antituberculosis chemotherapy.
