The clinical symptom is not specific and preoperative diagnosis is easy to miss or delay because of a lack of specific symptoms. We reported a case of bilateral adenocarcinoma of the Fallopian tubes, was occurred in a 51-year-old postmenopausal woman and diagnosed with bilateral salpingectomy for suspicious of suppurative salpingitis. The diagnosis is not always suspected preoperatively. They are assimilated to salpingitis in the early stage, or to ovarian tumors in the advanced stage. The diagnosis is made postoperatively, after an anatomopathological examination. Its etiology is still poorly understood.展开更多

It is most often primitive. The clinical and radiological features are sometimes misleading. It poses diagnostic problems especially with cancer. We report a case of breast tuberculosis having clinical and radiological presentations as a breast carcinoma. Through this observation and a review of the literature, we provide an update on the epidemiological characteristics and the means of diagnosis of this lesion. It was a 52-year-old woman with inflammatory lump of the left breast, adherent to the skin. Ultrasonography and mammography revealed a homogeneous, poorly demarcated nodule of approximately 4 cm of diameter, classified ACR4. Surgical excision was performed. The histological diagnosis was breast tuberculosis. The diagnosis of tuberculous mastitis is made on bacteriological and pathological examinations. Histological examination helps for diagnostic confirmation while excluding a malignant lesion of the breast.</span>展开更多

The tumor ruptured into the abdominal cavity. A total hysterectomy was performed. On the pathological examination, the uterine corpus presents a proliferation of markedly atypical spindle cells admixed with round cells and pleomorphic cells. The tumor deeply infiltrated the myometrium. The tumor was very necrotizing. There were more than 50 mitoses per 10 fields at high magnification. The isthmus was invaded by the tumor. The diagnosis of undifferentiated uterine sarcoma was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. The tumor shows negativity for the following markers: CKAE1/AE3, h-caldesmon, α-SMA, progesterone receptors, desmin, CD 10, alpha foeto-protein, CD 3 and CD 20.展开更多
