Prompt Diagnosis

Background. Abdominal wall endometriomas are quite uncommon. They are usually misdiagnosed by both the surgeon and the gynaecologist. Awareness of the details of this rare condition is therefore essential for prompt diagnosis and adequate treatment. Introduction. Endometriosis though a condition commonly seen in the pelvic region can also occur at extrapelvic sites giving rise to a diagnostic dilemma. Abdominal wall endometrioma is one such complex variant of extrapelvic endometriosis with an incidence of less than 2% following gynaecologic operations. Case Report. A case of abdominal wall endometrioma diagnosed clinically and treated by wide surgical resection is presented to highlight the importance of clinical evaluation in the diagnosis of this condition. Discussion. The etiopathogenesis, presentation, investigations, and management are discussed briefly. Conclusion. Clinical evaluation confirmed by supportive imaging is diagnostic. Wide local excision is the mainstay of treatment.

Caucasian Male

Erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli, a rare condition of unknown etiology, was first described by Kitamura et al. from Japan in 1960. It is characterized by a triad consisting of well-demarcated erythema, hyperpigmentation, and follicular papules. We report the case of a 50-year-old Caucasian male, who had asymptomatic symmetrical facial lesions since the age of 42. His family history was unremarkable. Published erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli cases of the last 10 years are summarized in this report to demonstrate the variability and differences in the clinical presentation of this uncommon diagnosis.

Facial nerve aplasia is an extremely rare condition that is usually syndromic, namely, in Moebius syndrome. The occurrence of isolated agenesis of facial nerve is even rarer, with only few cases reported in the literature. We report a case of congenital facial paralysis due to facial nerve aplasia diagnosed on MRI, while no noticeable abnormality was detected on the temporal bone CT.

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Extraneural metastases of glioblastoma are very rare clinical entities, especially in pediatric patients. Because of their rarity, they can be confused with other pathological processes. <b><i>Case Presentation:</i></b> We report a case of 16-year-old boy with extensive extraneural metastases of glioblastoma. Lung, liver, cervical lymph nodes, skin, and bone metastases were detected in the patient. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> We describe the presentation, evaluation, and diagnosis of this rare condition with regard to pertinent literature.

Torsion of the ovary is a rare condition whose diagnosis remains difficult given the non-specificity of the clinical picture as well as the difficulty of clinical evaluation, especially in young girls. It is a surgical emergency because it involves the vital prognosis by the hemorrhagic risk, and functional prognosis by the risk of infertility. The clinical picture is dominated by acute abdominal pain. Our work reports the case of a 2-year-old girl in whom the diagnosis of ovarian torsion was made in front of an atypical clinical picture. Laparoscopy is the method of choice for making a positive diagnosis and performing a conservative procedure as described in this work.

Primary anorectal malignant melanoma is an extremely rare condition. It appears at the third highest frequency after melanomas of the skin and retina. Its prognosis is dreadful because of the early onset of metastases. The treatment remains essentially surgical. We report an observation of primitive anorectal melanoma, collected at the department of surgery for digestive cancers and liver transplantation of the Ibn Rochd University Hospital of Casablanca, with a review of the literature. In order to analyse the clinical, paraclinical and therapeutic characteristics of primary anorectal melanoma.
