Background: Hydatid disease is a zoonosis caused by larval stages of cestodes belonging to the genus Echinococcus. The rib location is exceptional. It presents a real diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Objectives: To describe the clinical, serological and radiological features and surgical management of rib hydatidosis. Methods: This is a r...

Les séminomes médiastinaux sont des tumeurs germinales très rares qui surviennent dans le médiastin. La présente étude rapporte le cas d'un homme de 28 ans qui a été traité pour un séminome médiastinal primitif révélé par des douleurs tho-raciques associées à une oppression thoracique. La tomodensitométrie (TDM) thoracique a montré une masse hétéro...

Malignant broncho-pulmonary tumors are the principal cause of the paraneoplastic nephrotic syndrome. These tumors are most often small cell or squamous bronchial carcinomas. In 75% of cases, the nephrotic syndrome is due to membranous glomerulonephritis. We report the case of a 67 years old patient, a chronic tobacco user, followed since June 2019...

Unilateral pulmonary artery agenesis (UPAA) is an uncommon congenital anomaly and most patients present in neonatal period with respiratory symptoms. Left-sided pulmonary artery agenesis is less frequent than right-sided. We report a patient who presented with hemoptysis and bronchial dilatation. The diagnosis of UPAA was made.

Chondrosarcoma of a rib is a very rare malignant tumor of the bone. Most patients are present with an enlarging painful anterior chest wall tumor. We present a case of 32-years old female with a thoracoabdominal tumor size of 20 cm × 16cm involving the left 9th rib. Since chondrosarcoma is less sensitive to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, surgical t...

We report a case of unexpected spontaneous regression of thymoma in a 44-year-old patient, referred with clinical, biological, and electrophysiological findings of Myasthenia gravis. The patient was stable on synthetic Acetylcholesterase inhibitors, immunosuppressants, and corticosteroids. A chest computed tomography (January 2020) revealed a well-...

The chondrosarcoma of a rib is a sporadic malignant tumor of the bone. The main sign is an enlarging painful anterior chest wall tumor. We present a case of 32-years old female with a thoracoabdominal tumor size of 20 cm × 16cm involving the left 9th rib. Since chondrosarcoma is less sensitive to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, surgical treatment wi...

Background Thoracic complications of ventriculoperitoneal (VP) cerebrospinal fluid shunting are rare and the diagnosis is difficult without neurological impairment. Case Description We report a case of a 36-year-old woman who had a VP shunt in the right side when she was 13 years for a posterior fossa ependymoma and hydrocephalus. 23 years after s...

Les auteurs rapportent le cas d'une malformation adénoïde kystique du poumon (MAKP) découverte chez un adulte de 22 ans sans antécédent ni notion de contage tuberculeux, qui présentait des hémoptysies dans un contexte fébrile. L'imagerie a permis d'objectiver deux cavités kystiques au sein du poumon gauche : une à paroi fine avec un niveau hydro-aé...

Hydatid cystic disease caused by the parasite Echinococcus granulosus is one of the major health problems in underdeveloped countries. Mediastinal localization is very rare. We report a rare case of hydatid disease in the posterior mediastinum with an enormous aorta defect. The patient underwent vascular graft placement without shunting or bypass.

The inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is a rare tumor described in the literature as a type of inflammatory pseudotumor. It mainly has a pulmonary location but can appear at endobronchial or mediastinal sites on rarely. While it is a benign tumor, it can sometimes be unpredictable due to its invasive characteristic as well as its resurgence after...

Introduction: Pulmonary Sequestration (PS) is an uncommon lung disease. Its association with carcinoid tumors is exceptional.

Background: Endobronchial metastasis is an infrequent secondary location of an extra thoracic cancer. Colorectal cancer is one of the most affected primary tumours. Case presentation: We report the clinical case of a patient who has had endobronchial metastasis of a adenocarcinoma of the colon, confirmed by mass biopsy. Surgical treatment was indic...

Introduction: Non-small cell bronchopulmonary cancer (NSCLC) invading the chest wall is operable cancer at the cost of a parietal sacrifice. Their survival is estimated at 15% at 5 years in the literature. The factors of poor prognosis, particularly recurrence, have been studied in the literature in various ways.Objective of this study is to descri...

- Les hernies diaphragmatiques post traumatiques correspondent au passage des viscères abdominaux dans le thorax à travers une brèche diaphragmatique secondaire à un traumatisme. - Les hernies intercostales trandiaphragmatiques en constituent une entité encore plus rare. - Elles passent souvent inaperçues dans les suites immédiates de l’accident et...
