Even though pancreatic involvement in case of polyarteritis nodosa is uncommon, it reveals infrequently the disease. Furthermore, the occurrence of pancreatic pseudocyst in case of polyarteritis nodosa is rare. One case of intrapancreatic pseudocyst complicating chronic pancreatic during polyarteritis nodosa is reported. CT scan showed non specific intrapancreatic cystic lesion for which the diagnosis of mucinous cystic tumor of the pancreas was considered. After surgical resection, histopathologic analysis led to the diagnosis of intrapancreatic pseudocyst secondary to polyarteritis nodosa.

[Cerebromeningeal listeriosis associated with a cytolytic hepatitis. First case report in Senegal].

Hepatitis due to Listeria monocytogenes is uncommon in adults. This report describes the first case observed in Senegal. The patient was a 73-year old man presenting listeria-related hepatitis presumably secondary to low-grade meningeal encephalitis. Treatment using ampicillin was unsuccessful and the patient died four days after hospitalization. The authors note that the incidence of adult listeriosis has risen constantly for the past twenty years in relation with alcohol abuse, cirrhosis, diabetes, kidney insufficiency, cancer, AIDS, and organ transplantation. However no predisposing factors were observed in the present case.
