[Primary malignant schwannoma of the buccal branch of facial nerve]. / Schwannome malin primitif du rameaux buccal supérieur du nerf facial.

INTRODUCTION: Primary malignant schwannomas are rare neoplasms of nerve sheath origin, especially in the location of the head and neck where few cases are described in the literature. REPORT CASE: We report the case of a 65-year-old male diagnosed with malignant schwannoma in the left cheek. The patient underwent surgery with wide local excision, reconstruction were made later by skin graft. DISCUSSION: The treatment of choice is radical excision of the lesion with wide margins. In fact, to reduce local tumor recurrence, the use of adjuvant radiation or chemotherapy is still controversial.

[Association of ovarian juvenile granulosa cell tumor with Maffucci's syndrome]. / Association d'une tumeur ovarienne de la granulosa juvénile à un syndrome de Maffucci.

The authors report a rare case of the ovarian juvenile granulosa cell tumor associated with Maffucci's syndrome (enchondromathosis + hemangiomas), no heriditary mesodermal dysplasia. Sarcomatous changes of chondromas are encountered most frequently; however other various typed neoplasma have been reported: ovarian juvenile granulosa cell tumor may occur not infrequently in female patients with Maffucci's syndrome in the first or second decades. Sarcomatous changes of choromas established prognosis of the Maffucci's syndrome.
