RESUMO
Authors report a case of probably iatrogenic paratesticular fibrous pseudotumor. A 33-year-old man presented with a history of increased scrotal volume after laborious urethral catheterism. Ultrasound scanning first suggested testicular malignant lesion. Surgical findings showed thick and fibrous scrotal wall surrounding a pseudocystic cavity which contained urine coming from a bulbar urethral rupture. Testicles were normal. Urethral suture and total excision of the scrotal mass were performed. Diagnosis was histologically corrected. Diagnosis and management are discussed with a review of the literature.

While esophageal foreign bodies are a common occurrence, late discovery is rare. The purpose of this report is to describe an unusual case in which a set of dentures lodged in the thoracic esophagus was discovered and surgically removed 15 years after accidental ingestion. Inadequacy of health care in remote regions of Madagascar accounts for this clinical case. Diagnosis and management of esophageal foreign bodies are discussed.

La rupture secondaire vesicale intra peritoneal du post partum est rare. Nous rapportons une observation inhabituelle chez une femme de 25 ans qui etait adressee pour douleur abdominale aigue. Cinq jours auparavant; elle presentait un accouchement dystocique d'une grossesse menee a terme. Elle presentait une occlusion intestinale aigue du grele mecanique. L'abord median sus et sous ombilical permettait d'objectiver une rupture vesicale intra peritoneale et de traiter la lesion par suture en deux plans sous couvert d'une sonde uretro vesicale. La lesion vesicale etait parvenue au cours d'un accouchement dystocique sur vessie pleine. Une verification systematique du bas appareil urinaire apres toute intervention obstetricale laborieuse permet d'evoquer le diagnostic

Anal adenocarcinoma revealed by a fistula-in-ano occurs rarely. Authors report a case in a 56 year-old man. The pathogeny is still unknown. Symptomatology has no specificity and the diagnosis is often late, in an advanced stage of the sickness. Recurrent or non recurrent fistula-in-ano requires multiple biopsies for pathology analysis in order to screen a related cancer. Tumor dimension, lymph node involvement, histologic grade and treatment modality are independent prognosis factors for survival. Our objective is to show physiopathological, clinical and therapeutical characteristics from a review of the literature.

We report a case of seromuscularis rupture of the oesophagus occurring after an episode of vomiting and revealed by a left hemothorax. Diagnosis was established at thoracoscopy and was related to the nosologic setting of post-emetic syndromes. All unusual pleuropulmonary symptoms after vomiting must make evoke this diagnostic hypothesis.

Gastric volvulus is an abnormal rotation of the stomach around its axis. The acute form is a surgical emergency, which doesn't tolerate any therapeutic delay. We report on a case in a young girl, revealed by painful epigastric mass and distended gastric bubble on abdominal X-ray. This case was been successfully treated by detorsion and gastropexy. The clinical picture of gastric volvulus is characterised by the Borchardt triad of symptoms: upper abdominal pain, vomiting and difficulty to pass a nasogastric tube. The gastrointestinal barium series and CT-scan help to confirm the diagnosis. As was demonstrated in this case, the treatment is surgical by reducing the volvulus and fixing the stomach to prevent recurrence.

The inguinal hernia, malformations caused by persistence of peritonea-vaginal duct, is frequent in children. It is a benign affection as long as it is not strangled. During our five-year-retrospective study, we have found 32 cases (30 boys and 2 girls) of strangled inguinal hernia. There are 78,12% of cases under five years old. In 54%, the hernia was on the right side. Malnutrition and inguinoscrotal hernia are very exposed to strangulation. We observed obstruction syndrome in 81,25% of cases. We have to deplore one case of scrotal fistulae by intestinal necrosis and two cases of testicle necrosis. For all of our patients, the peritonea-vaginal duct was closed with ligature, associated with pre-funicular parietal refection. One case of recurrence is found in postoperative time.

Breast tuberculosis is rare. It usually involves young women of childbearing age. The purpose of this report is to describe two cases of breast tuberculosis observed in Madagascar with focus on epidemiological, clinical, and therapeutic features. Infection of the breast is usually secondary by lymphatic, contiguous, or, more rarely haematogenous spreading. Primary infection is uncommon. The most frequent clinical form is the fistulised nodular form observed in both patients described in this report. The diffuse form is the least common form and the sclerous form occurs in the elderly. Histology is a valuable diagnostic tool if bacteriological findings are inconclusive. Patients respond favourably to antimycobacterium treatment with or without surgery.

Gastric perforation in the neonate is rare. The authors report a 3-day-old male infant, born through a normal delivery after an uncomplicated pregnancy, who presented with a sudden gross distention of the abdomen followed by respiratory distress. Abdominal X-ray examination showed a massive pneumoperitoneum. After a brief resuscitation, an isolated perforation of the stomach was discovered on laparotomy and was sutured. Outcome of spontaneous gastric perforation in newborns is favourable provided the disease is early recognised and treated.

Burkitt non hodgkin lymphoma affects children and young adults. It is endemic in tropical Africa and it has especially facial and abdominal localisations. We report a case of anal localisation in a 22 years-old man, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), negative aiming to show clinical, therapeutical and evolutive particularities of this exceptional localisation. Only two cases were reported but in HIV positive patients. Perianal abscess was first evoked, but per-operatory findings and histology rectify the diagnosis. Without chemotherapy, the "natural" evolution was rapidly fatal. Despite the efficacy of nowadays protocols, showing 80% of recovery, this observation illustrates the difficulty of malignant affection's management in developing countries caused by diagnostic delay and high cost of chemotherapy.

Adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare disease. We report here a case of huge adrenocortical carcinoma. The aim of this study is to show the presence of this pathology in Madagascar despite its rarity, and the different steps undertaken for its diagnosis, treatment and evolution. A huge right adrenocortical carcinoma was incidentally diagnosed in a 42 year old man by ultrasonography and confirmed by computed tomography. The right adrenalectomy followed by an Op'DDD treatment gives good results in a short term. This case gave us the evidence of the usefulness of ultrasonography as a first intention investigation and the computed tomography as the only way to confirm the diagnosis. However, we can only rely on the histological findings even if the borderline between benignity and malignity is sometimes debatable. Open adrenalectomy is the main treatment, completed with an Op'DDD therapy whose efficiency is doubtful. The evolution is uncertain and the prognosis is poor.

Female genital tuberculosis is relatively frequent in developing countries. Most cases occur in young women of childbearing age. The most common locations are the tubes, endometrium, and ovaries. Bartholin gland involvement is rare. The purpose of this report is to present a case of Bartholin gland tuberculosis in a 50 year-old woman and to describe the special epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic features associated with this location. Bartholinitis develops insidiously until spontaneous fistula formation. The lesion then gradually assumes a vegetative appearance that persists despite antibiotic treatment. Diagnosis requires biopsy findings demonstrating the presence of granulomatous tissue with caseous necrosis. Patients respond favorably to specific medical treatment. The recent spread of human immunodeficiency virus has increased the need to continue and improve efforts to control turberculosis particularly in endemic zones.
