[Pelvic tuberculosis mimicking bilateral ovarian tumor. A case report].

Tuberculosis is a curable infectious disease which can mimic ovarian cancer. This case report illustrates that the association of a pelvic mass with elevated CA125 is not necessarily suggestive of ovarian malignancy. A 22-Year-old woman presenting with bilateral ovarian masses and an elevated CA 125 underwent an exploratory laparotomy to search for ovarian tumor. The final pathology diagnosis was ovarian tuberculosis without pulmonary involvement. Tuberculosis is a differential diagnosis to consider in patients with a pelvic mass because of the lack of pathognomonic clinical and biological signs.

[Hydatic cyst of the fallopian tube: a case report].

A 37-year-old woman was seen for pelvic pain. Ultrasonography and laparoscopy led to the diagnosis of bilateral hydrosalpinx. Analgesics and antibiotics were given several times but the clinical picture worsened. Laparotomy was performed and disclosed bilateral hydatidosis of the fallopian tubes requiring bilateral salpingectomy. Postoperatively, hydatic serology was strongly positive and a calcified hydatic splenic cyst was identified. Medical treatment with albendazole was prescribed for these multiple localizations of hydatid cysts.

[Nasal endometriosis: apropos of 1 case].

The nasal mucosa is an exceptional localization for endometriosis. We report a case observed in a woman who developed nasal tumefaction associated with epistaxis that had followed a cyclic repetitive pattern since puberty. Surgical excision of the nasal nodule confirmed the diagnosis of endometriosis. Local and general evaluated identified other localizations. Outcome has been favorable at short and mid term. Endometriosis is a frequent condition although extra-pelvic localizations are uncommon. The nasal localization is highly exceptional.

[Uterine sarcoma. Apropos of 25 cases].

This study involved an analysis of 25 cases of sarcoma of the uterine body collected at the Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic of the Ibn Rochd CHU teaching hospital, Casablanca (Morocco) during a 15-year period (1977-1992). These are unusual malignant tumours (accounting for only 0.9% of uterine cancers) which occur after the menopause and have an appalling prognosis. Metrorrhagia was the most common alerting symptom. Presurgical diagnosis was difficult and uterine sarcoma was usually identified during surgery. The most common histological type encountered was leiomyosarcoma. Treatment was primarily surgical: total hysterectomy combined with bilateral appendectomy (20 cases), with radiotherapy (5 cases) or with adjuvant chemotherapy (1 case). Radiotherapy was the only treatment in 2 patients. The survival rate was low: 10% after 2 years, 5% after 5 years. Age, histological type, extent of the tumor and method of treatment were all recognised as prognostic factors. One interest of this work is to recall the existence and the severity of this pathology in those periods of endoscopic games and excessive conservative treatments.
