[Ganglioneuroma of the zygoma].

INTRODUCTION: Ganglioneuroma is an uncommon benign tumor that arises from the sympathetic nervous system accounting for less than 1% of all soft-tissue neoplasms. CASE REPORT: We report the case of a 22 year-old man who presented a ganglioneuroma localized in the zygoma. DISCUSSION: Ganglioneuroma generally develop in the abdomen or thorax soft tissue. The occurrence of ganglioneuroma in the bone is exceptional. To date less than ten cases have been reported, six of which involved the mandible. We discuss the possible causes of tumor development at this site.

[Benign granular cell anal tumor].

INTRODUCTION: Granular cell tumors (GCT) are rarely located in the perianal area. OBSERVATION: Over the past 3 years, a 56 year-old man presented a papule of the right margin of the anus that had progressively increased in size (1.5 cm). Cell proliferation was located in the dermis and strongly expressed the S100 protein. It was covered by a pseudo-epitheliomatous hyperplasia of the overlying epidermis. Forty months after local surgical excision, there was no sign of recurrence. COMMENTS: Granular cell tumors are rare and usually benign. When cutaneous or mucosal, the pseudo-epitheliomatous hyperplasia of the overlying epithelium may, on superficial samples, be mistakenly diagnosed as squamous cell carcinomas. Malignant GCT may, histologically, appear identical to a benign GCT and only the appearance of metastases (generally after local recurrence) permits the subsequent diagnosis of malignancy.

[Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the bladder. A new case report].

This rare but aggressive bladder tumour presents the morphological and immunohistochemical characteristic common to all neuro-endocrine tumours observed in other organs. The authors report a case of primarymalignant neuro-endocrine bladder tumour. Combined surgery-cisplatin-based adjuvant chematherapy is recommended.

[Botryoide sarcoma of the uterine cervix. Apropos of 1 case].

Sarcoma botryoide (SB), a variant of rhabdomyosarcoma, is a rare tumor who are rarely localized in the uterine cervix. Only 99 cases have been described to date. The authors reported this case with review of the literature in order to insist on diagnosis progress and a new combined modality approach using: radiotherapy, surgery and chemotherapy which have improved prognosis in the localized disease especially.

[Nodular fasciitis or pseudosarcoma].

Nodular fasciitis is a benign neoplastic and reactive proliferation of fibroblasts of soft tissues, which is often mistaken for a sarcoma because of its rapid growth, rich cellularity and mitotic activity. A case is reported that provides the opportunity to discuss the specific clinical and pathological features of nodular fasciitis.

[Cutaneous blastomycosis revealing a corticoadenoma].

BACKGROUND: Blastomycosis is an uncommon chronic granulomatosis caused by Blastomyces dermatitidis. We present a case with a skin localization that disclosed malignant corticoadenoma. CASE REPORT: A 32-year-old man consulted for inflammatory nodules of the face and lower limbs. The histological examination of a nodule biopsy was in favour of blastomycosis. Ketoconazole treatment was ineffective. Amphotericin B provided cure of the skin lesions. Search for extension disclosed a malignant corticoadrenoma. DISCUSSION: Blastomycosis is very rare in Morocco. The portal is usually the lung. Unique skin involvement is very exceptional. To our knowledge this is the first report of a blastomycosis-corticoadenoma association. The clinical situation may be alarming in immunodepressed subjects. Amphotericin B treatment is indicated.

[Small cell carcinoma of the prostate. Apropos of a case].

Small cell carcinomas of the prostate are rare. These tumors exhibit morphologic and functional neuro-endocrine characteristics. They are a highly aggressive. New therapeutic protocols are being developed in order to be effective against these tumors, particularly those unresponsive to hormonotherapy.
