Cyctic lymphangioma is a primary benign tumor due to congenital malformations of the lymphatic vessels. It is more often seen in pediatric patients and the usual site for lymphangioma is the cervical and axillary region. However, it is exceptionally seen in adults and involving rarely the spleen. The discovery of the splenic lymphangioma is generally accidental during imaging performed for another pathology. Indeed, being most often asymptomatic, the clinical presentation of cystic lymphangioma is polymorphic and it is related generally to mass effects. In this paper, we report the case of a 43 years old patient in whom the discovery was fortuitous during imaging for a non-specific symptomatology. The physical examination was normal and magnetic resonance imaging strongly evoked the diagnosis of cystic lymphangioma. A total splenectomy was performed and the histological examination has confirmed the positive diagnosis of splenic lymphangioma. Finally, this case confirmes that the diagnostic of splenic lymphangioma should be evoked in front of splenic cystic lesions and the confirmation and the differential diagnosis are made by histopathology and immunohistochemistry studies.
In this article, presented as the case of a 43-year-old patient with liver cyst posing the problem of positive diagnosis. The uncharacterizable radiology and the questionable serology have demonstrated the essential role of surgery and histological analysis in the management of this type of lesion. This case raises questions that patients and clinicians are often faced with in a hydatid disease endemic country. Through this article, we aim to discussed the latest news on diagnostic tools, the natural evolution of the disease, differential diagnoses as well as new treatment options for cystic hepatic lesion.
Les métastases cutanées du carcinome bronchogénique sont rares, elles témoignent d'un stade tardif de la maladie. Nous rapportons le cas d'une métastase cutanée d'un adénocarcinome bronchique traitée chirurgicalement en vue d'améliorer le confort du malade.
The hypopharyngeal diverticulum of the cervical esophagus, also knows as Zenker's diverticulum, is the most common esophageal diverticulum. It develops at the junction of the hypopharynx and the esophagus. The most present symptom is dysphagia. Between the period of 01/01/2018 to 31/12/2018, we accessed two patients with esophageal diverticulum.both underwent surgical treatment - diverticulectomy at department of the visceral surgery II of the Military Hospital Mohamed V of Rabat.Morocco.
The aim of this report is to evaluate the diagnostic methods and the surgical outcomes by comparing them to others technics used in the treatment of the esophageal diverticulum.
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.
