Dural arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) are rare intracranial vascular malformations, consisting of communications between dural venous arteries and sinuses, meningeal veins, cortical veins, or combinations thereof. In most cases the etiology is unknown. The clinical presentation is determined by the location and mainly by the drainage pattern. The recognition of this rare clinical entity is essential for an early diagnosis and intervention, to avoid the potentially serious complications of the disease, such as, intracranial hypertension, vascular dementia, hemorrhage, among others.

Introduction: Schwannoma of the glans is a rare clinical entity. The diagnosis is histological. Treatment is surgical, with complete excision. The authors report this rare case encountered at the University Hospital of Libreville in order to identify its clinical and therapeutic characteristics. Observation: Mr. I.B, 50 years old, with no medical-surgical history, consulted for swelling of the glans evolving for 06 years, preventing coitus. He reported a notion of poor healing from an acorn sore after the trouser fly was closed. The diagnostic suspicion was a glans keloid. A complete resection was performed. Histologic examination favored a glans schwannoma. Healing was effective on D7 postoperatively. Erectile functions have been preserved. Conclusion: The glans schwannoma is rare. Surgical treatment gives good results.

Choristomas are rare entities which are aggregates of microscopically normal cells or tissues in aberrant locations. They are a “heterotopic” rest of cells, as they appear as a tumor-like mass. Herein we report a case of cartilaginous choristoma in a 54-year-old male who presented with a swelling on right lower gingiva. The histopathological examination revealed features of a well circumscribed mass of mature cartilage in a dense fibrous connective tissue stroma.
