ABSTRACT
The gastric location of EBVMCU is extremely rare. The pathology examination and immunochemistry are mandatory for the diagnosis. It is essential that physicians be aware of this new entity to accurately diagnose and handle this disease.
ABSTRACT
Many authors suggest the role of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in the pathology of B-cell non Hodgkin's lymphomas; this is based on epidemiological, physiopathological and therapeutic arguments. The frequency of the association with hepatitis C virus infection is variable in the different study (1 to 30%). We report two cases of hepatitis C virus infection in association with non Hodgkin's lymphomas. The first case presented a low grad splenic and nodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma associated with hepatitis C virus infection and complicated by hepato-cellular carcinoma. The second case presented a high grad nodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma associated with HCV infection. Our cases report confirms the hypothesis of a key role of hepatitis C virus in the pathogenesis of B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders and in particular the non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Although of several hypothesis concerning the ethiopathogenic mechanisms of this association, new studies will necessary to improve the real mechanism of this association

Prune Belly syndrome is characterized by a combination of megacystis, anterior abdominal wall distension with deficiency of the abdominal wall musculature, and bilateral cryptorchidism. Diagnosis is easy after 15 weeks of gestation, but may be difficult at the end of the first term. Authors report 2 cases of Prune Belly syndrome diagnosed at 11 and 14 weeks of gestation respectively. After literature review, diagnosis and prognosis particularities of this syndrome are discussed.
