Apocrine Breast Carcinoma With an Atypical Immunohistochemical Profile: A Case Report.

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women worldwide and encompasses a wide variety of histopathological subtypes. While invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) represents the most prevalent form, rare variants such as apocrine carcinoma (AC) also warrant particular attention. Classically, AC of the breast is defined by apocrine morphology, negativity for hormonal receptors (estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR)), and strong positivity for the androgen receptor (AR).

Trichoblastoma/trichoblastic carcinoma: about two cases.

Introduction And Importance: Trichoblastomas (TBs) are rare slow-growing benign follicular tumors that typically involve the head and neck, and trichoblastic carcinoma (TC) is the malignant form of these tumors. They present similarities with basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Due to the rarity of these tumors, no specific consensus has been established so far.

Spontaneous Neonatal Gastric Perforation: A Case Report.

Spontaneous gastric perforation (SGP) is a rare but life-threatening surgical emergency in neonates, particularly among preterm infants. We report the case of a male neonate born at 33 weeks of gestation via spontaneous vaginal delivery, with a birth weight of 1,780 grams. The initial postnatal adaptation was satisfactory.

Primary vaginal leiomyosarcoma: A case report emphasizing multidisciplinary care of a rare entity.

Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a rare malignant tumor derived from smooth muscle cells. It usually occurs in the uterine cavity, other localizations, such as vaginal leiomyosarcoma, are atypical. Due to the nonspecific nature of its clinical presentation, vaginal LMS may be misdiagnosed as a benign gynecological neoplasm and is often detected at an advanced stage.

Topical timolol for calciphylaxis: a case report.

Background: Calciphylaxis is a rare multifactorial skin disease characterized by thrombosis and calcification of skin subcutaneous vessels, leading to chronic and painful ulcers with skin necrosis. Despite its high morbidity and mortality rates, effective treatments are lacking.

Case Report: A 65-year-old female with chronic kidney disease who developed painful bilateral ulcers was successfully treated with topical timolol.

Unusual Presentation of Facial Comedones.

Not all facial comedonal lesions represent acne, nor are they always benign. A lack of response to standard acne treatments should prompt clinicians to reconsider the diagnosis and explore more serious conditions, such as , , or . Recognizing these conditions can significantly impact patient management.

Exploring healthcare workers' immunisation behaviour towards COVID-19 vaccines through psychological patterns.

Background:  The psychological approach can provide valuable insights into vaccination behaviour, especially in high-risk contexts. It offers new perspectives for effective interventions to improve vaccination behaviour.

Aim:  To investigate key factors influencing stress related to vaccination in emergency situations among healthcare professionals.

Retrospective Study of Morton's Neuroma: Clinical, Paraclinical, and Therapeutic Assessment of 10 Cases.

Background Morton's neuroma is a common cause of forefoot pain, typically occurring in the third metatarsal space and characterized by symptomatic nerve compression. This condition often leads to significant functional impairment, affecting weight-bearing activities and limiting appropriate footwear due to pain and discomfort. Objective This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of conservative interventional treatment for Morton's neuroma, specifically focusing on corticosteroid injections.

Can Primary Knee Tuberculosis Simulate the Clinical and Radiological Profile of Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis?

When faced with clinical and radiological findings suggestive of villonodular synovitis, tuberculosis is not often considered a differential diagnosis, especially when the patient is not a known tuberculosis carrier. In this paper, we present an exceptional case of a patient who had a tumefaction (measuring 17 cm in length) in the anterointernal region of her left knee, with a clinical and radiological picture in favor of villonodular synovitis. However, after tumor resection, the anatomopathological study of the surgical specimen came back in favor of a tuberculous lesion.

Metastatic Sarcomatoid Carcinoma of the Larynx: A Case Report.

Laryngeal spindle cell carcinoma (SpCC) is a unique and very aggressive form of laryngeal cancer. This neoplasm, consisting of malignant epithelial and mesenchymal elements, presents major diagnostic challenges, and there is a lack of conventional therapeutic approaches due to its rarity. This report describes a case of a 53-year-old female who experienced persistent difficulty speaking and a dry cough after contracting coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Leiomyoma: An Exceptional Benign Tumor of the Kidney.

Renal leiomyoma is a benign finding in kidney pathology. It has been documented in various organs; renal location is less frequent and has been rarely documented in the literature. We present here the case of a renal leiomyoma revealed by an abdominal mass and flank pain.

Insights on Phytochemistry and Pharmacological Properties of . A Comprehensive Review.

Across civilization, medicinal and aromatic plants have occupied an important place due to their extensive use in the treatment of different diseases. This review aims to summarize the existing knowledge about . by bridging traditional herbal knowledge with scientific investigations performed since 1957.

Compartment Syndrome: An Uncommon Twist in Childhood Henoch-Schönlein Purpura.

Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) also known as rheumatoid purpura is the most common vasculitis in children. This condition affects small blood vessels, predominantly targeting the skin, digestive system, joints, and kidneys. Short-term prognosis mainly depends on abdominal complications, while long-term prognosis is mainly determined by the severity of kidney involvement, which occurs in about 35% of cases.

Management of Cisplatin-Induced Encephalopathy: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Cisplatin is a cancer therapy drug commonly used. It is well-known for its antineoplastic properties, as well as for its numerous adverse effects, particularly its neurotoxicity. Symptoms associated with a central nervous system injury are unusual but can present a diagnostic challenge.

"Prompt" for PREEMPT: Dotting the I's and Crossing the T's With Ultrasound.

The management of chronic migraine (CM) underwent a significant shift with the introduction of onabotulinumtoxin A (BoNT-A) injections following the landmark PREEMPT trial in 2010. Despite its efficacy, the existing injection protocol lacks precision, prompting a call for revision in light of modern ultrasound (US)-guided techniques. This article highlights the potential of US-guided injections to enhance accuracy, safety, and efficacy in CM treatment.

Synovial Sarcoma of the Submaxillary Salivary Gland: A Rare Location and Challenging Diagnosis.

Synovial sarcoma is a high-grade sarcoma. The periarticular region, deep soft tissues, and the extremities are where it is most frequently found. The head and neck regions are rarely affected and salivary gland localization is rather rare, especially the submaxillary gland.

Megaprosthesis Total Knee Replacement Following Resection of Extensive Osteoblastic Osteosarcoma in the Distal Femur: A Case Report.

Osteosarcoma is the most common type of primary bone cancer, which usually appears in the distal femur. The diagnosis of this condition typically involves advanced imaging and tissue biopsy, as well as taking into account characteristic clinical and radiographic indicators. The treatment approach for distal femoral osteosarcoma is multidisciplinary and involves initial chemotherapy, followed by limb-sparing surgery, reconstruction of bone and soft tissue, and subsequent adjuvant chemotherapy.
