[Medullary compression revealing the presence of a follicular lymphoma: a case report].

Epidural localization is a rare presenting sign of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. These tumours are classified in the majority of cases as large B cell lymphomas. Low grade lymphomas are rarely reported. We report a 43-year-old woman admitted for a total functional disability of the two lower limbs. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a spinal epidural mass extending from D7 to D9. A laminectomy was performed. The histopathological study revealed a follicular lymphoma. The patient underwent a spinal irradiation and chemotherapy. Follow up evaluation at 16 months demonstrated no evidence of relapse. Our purpose is to describe the clinical features, the pathologic findings, the treatment and the prognosis of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma revealed by an epidural involvement.

[Facial mucormycosis: observations from three cases].

The mucormycosis is a rare opportunistic invasive infection caused by fungi of the order Mucorales and characterized by vascular invasion and tissue necrosis. It affects generally the subjects with altered natural resistances, particularly the diabetics patients. The cerebro-rhino-orbital region is the most common site. The clinical signs depend on the intra-tissular and intra-vascular evolution of the fungi. The diagnosis of this disease is asserted by the mycological and anatomo-pathological exams. The treatment is based on the antifungic and the surgical excision of necrotic tissues. We report three observations: one man (42 years) and two women (59 and 60 years). Diabetes was found in two cases. The diagnosis was in every case anatomo-pathologic. Our objective was to study the epidemiological and clinico-pathologic aspects of this serious affection and to discuss its prognosis.

[Verrucous carcinoma of the kidney: report of 2 cases].

The verrucous carcinoma is an unusual shape of well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, first described at the ORL region; the kidney location is rare; the risk factors are represented essentially by lithiasis and/or urinary infection; the clinical symptom is not specific. Diagnosis is facilitated by radiological investigations and particularly excretory urogram/ultrasound; certainly diagnosis is pathological. The nephro-ureterectomy with collar resection of the bladder is the choice treatment. We report two observations and we clarify clinicopathological aspects of this type of carcinoma and we discuss the prognosis.
