The Schimmelpenning-Feuerstein-Mims (SFM) syndrome is a congenital neurocutaneous disorder characterized by the association of sebaceous hamartoma with extracutaneous abnormalities. We report a case of an SFM syndrome associated with a giant congenital nevus in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of Mohamed VI University Hospital of Marrakesh. This case has the specificity of being the first case reported in the literature associating an SFM syndrome with a giant congenital nevus. In conclusion, this observation is exceptional; it's a combination of the SFM syndrome to a giant congenital nevus, which so far has never been reported in the literature.
Rhinoscleroma is a chronic indolent granulomatous infection of the nose and the upper respiratory tract caused by Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis; this condition is endemic to many regions of the world including North Africa. We present a case of rhinoscleroma in a 47-year-old man with clinically diagnosed nodule in the nasal cavity. The histopathological examination revealed granulation tissue with plasma cells and Mikulicz's cells. The clinical and morphological picture of the case is a rare opportunity to recall a disease that is often overlooked by dermatologists.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
