Listeriosis is a rare infectious disease. Pregnant women with listeriosis represent 1/3 of all listeriosis cases. Listeriosis is a foodborne disease. Sporadic as well as epidemic cases of listeriosis are usually related to contaminated processed food, especially meat dishes served in fast-food restaurants and dairy products. Pregnant women are at an increased risk for listeriosis infection. Unfortunately the symptoms are not specific and the diagnosis presents a considerable challenge. Although the literature offers some case reports on a complicated course of listeriosis during pregnancy the infection usually runs a mild course in pregnant women. Regardless, fetal or neonatal infection is related to very high risk of lethal complications in the newborn, among others: sepsis, meningitis or pneumonia. The authors report a case of a 26-year-old primigravida woman with listeriosis. Throughout this case they describe the course of the infection, diagnostic process and treatment of this disease.
Solitary fibrous tumors of the pelvis are rare. We report the case of a 32-years-old patient who presented with abdominopelvic mass. The imaging studies showed a right adnexal mass of more than 10 cm. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a 20 cm mass at the Douglas pouch which was adhered to the posterior wall of the uterus. Complete resection of the mass was performed. Histological analysis showed a spindle cell undifferentiated tumor whose morphological and immunohistochemical profile are consistent with solitary fibrous tumor. It is important to know that although these tumors are rare, their evolution can be pejorative. Therefore, long-term followup should be recommended.

La pemphigoïde gestationis est une dermatose gravidique apparaissant en général entre la 28ème et la 32ème semaine d'aménorrhée. L’éruption cutanée est prurigineuse, bulleuse ou vésiculopapuleuse et de topographie péri-ombilicale. Outre la clinique, son diagnostic repose sur la biopsie cutanée avec analyse en immunofluorescence directe. Elle se caractérise par sa tendance à récidiver. Le traitement habituel nécessite des dermocorticoïdes. Les conséquences peuvent être maternelles (menace d'accouchement prématuré), fœtales (retard de croissance intra-utérin), et néo-natales (éruption cutanée). Nous rapportons un cas de pemphigoïde gestationis associé à une aplasie cutanée congénitale type 2. S'agit il d'une association fortuite?
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.
