The consequence of that is the suppurative destruction of the renal parenchyma. Instead of infection and obstruction which play a role in its etiology, some factors can be considered as risk for pyonephrosis, such as immunosuppression due to medications (steroids), disease (diabetes mellitus, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome [AIDS]). Patients with pyonephrosis may present clinical symptoms and signs such as fever, flank pain and nephromegaly. The diagnose is performed using imaging means (computed tomography, ultrasound). Without treatment, the disease can progress to the urosepsispyonephrosis, which is the most redoubtable complication. The chosen treatment for patients remains nephrostomy or nephrectomy. In some cases, partial nephrectomy may be an option. We are presenting a case of a diabetic patient who with a giant pyonephrosis.展开更多

Materials and Methods: It was a descriptive retrospective study carried out over a period of 10 years (2005-2014), on malignant tumors of the cervix observed at the laboratory of Anatomic Pathology in four regions (Center, Littoral, West, South-west). The studied parameters were frequency, age, sex, localization, histological type and the immuno-histochemical aspects. Results: A total of 2078 cases with an annual frequency of 20.78 cases were registered;the peak was reached in 2010 with 304 cases (14.62%). Cervical cancer was the main genital cancer affecting women with a percentage of 82.26%. The average age of the patients was 52.33 ± 12. 80 years old, with extremes from 22 to 93 years old. The age group from 40 to 59 had more than half of the cases, with 1094 cases (52.65%). The major histological types recorded were squamous cell cancer with 1687 cases (81.51%) and adenocarcinoma with 269 cases (12.95%). Conclusion: Cervical cancer is the chief genital cancer affecting female genital organs. The predominant histological types are squamous cell cancers.展开更多
