Extranodal intraductal papilloma in axillary supernumerary breast.

Extranodal intraductal papilloma of the unilateral axillary supernumerary breast is a rare and unusual medical condition. This condition involves the development of a benign tumor, known as a papilloma, in the ducts of supernumerary breast tissue found in the axilla. We report a rare case of extranodal papilloma of an extranodal intraductal papilloma of a unilateral axillary supernumerary breast in a 70-year-old woman, who presented with a right axillary mass. The diagnosis was suspected on imaging and confirmed on anatomical examination. Surgical treatment with good post-treatment outcome.

Diagnostic imaging of foot mycetomas: A report on two cases.

Mycetomas caused by aerobic actinomycetes are called actinomycetomas. It is primarily localized in subcutaneous tissue but it can spread to different tissue planes including the skin, deep tissues and structures and eventually the bones. We report the cases of 2 patients referred for evaluation of soft tissue masses involving the foot. A 40-year-old male and a 25-year-old male, in both cases MRI was performed to assess the extension, which was later completed by a CT scan. MRI revealed a low intensity matrix that represents fibrosis containing multiple high intensity lesions corresponding to the mycetoma grains. Within some of the lesions a low-intensity focus was identified. This "dot-in-circle sign" on an MRI is a pathognomonic feature of mycetoma. The purpose of this work is to describe the characteristic MRI appearance of foot mycetoma.

Giant fibrous polyp issuing from the uterine cervix: A case report.

Fibrous uterine polyps are very common in women during or after menopause, and less often seen in women of child-bearing age, with a maximum of frequency between 40, and 49 years. They can have various locations in the uterus depending on the patient's age, mostly the body, and fundus. We report a rare case of cervical localization of a pedicled fibrous polyp issuing from the cervix, in a 44-year-old female patient with 3 living children and a history of miscarriage, who had been presenting breakthrough bleeding, and pelvic pain for 3 months. It is essential to remind young radiologists of the different presentations of fibrous polyps, how to explore them better and when to fear malignancy and thus insist in a histologic study, in order to help clinicians to choose the most adequate treatment option.

[Leriche syndrome in a 20-year-old young woman: a case report]. / Syndrome de Leriche chez une jeune femme de 20 ans: à propos d'un cas.

Leriche syndrome or aortoiliac occlusive disease is a particular obliterative arterial disease of the lower limbs, consisting of thrombotic occlusion of the aortoiliac junction. We here report the case of a 20-year-old female patient with no particular past medical history, presenting with acute lower limb ischemia. Lower extremity echo Doppler showed overall decrease in arterial blood flow without visualization of endoluminal material. Lower limb angioscaner showed arterial thrombosis of the abdominal aorta extended to bilateral external iliac arteries. The patient subsequently underwent aortic-bi-iliac bypass surgery with good evolution as well as assessments for possible thrombogenic mechanism.

[Bilateral adrenal tuberculosis: about a case]. / Tuberculose surrénalienne bilatérale: à propos d'un cas.

Isolated adrenal tuberculosis accounts for less than 2% of adrenal incidentalomas. This is the most frequent infectious cause of adrenal insufficiencies. We report the case of a 53-year old patient with no previous medical history presenting with adrenal insufficiency with slow progression over six months. Physical examination didn't show any mass or hepatosplenomegaly. Blood pressure was 120/60 mmHg. Laboratory tests didn't show inflammatory syndrome. LDH level was normal. CT scan showed bilateral hypertrophy of the adrenal glands characterized by calcifications. Intradermo tuberculin reaction was positive at 25mm. The analyses to detect Koch's bacillus in the sputum and in the urine were negative. Quantiferon® test was positive. Trial antibacillar treatment was started with clinical improvement and 5kg weight gain in 12 months. Hormonal assays were low.
