The craniopharyngioma is a benign tumor, curable but aggressive by its localization involving the vital and visual prognosis of the patients. Treated mainly by surgery associated with radiotherapy which allows high long-term survival but at the expense of significant side effects, it nevertheless poses a problem of therapeutic management. The aim of this study is to illustrate the therapeutic difficulties in the management of craniopharyngiomaPatients an...

Dilated cardiomyopathy with congestive heart failure (CHF) is a very rare complication of growth hormone excess due to (GH)-secreting pituitary adenoma; It occurs in nearly 3% of acromegaly. Our aim was to report a case with CHF, large right auricular thrombus, and pulmonary embolism.Case report: A man aged 41, was known as an acromegaly gigantism due to a large pituitary somatotroph adenoma. That one was operated on twice but the tumor persisted and GH=...

Neurofibromatosis type 1 is a genetic multisystemic disorder involving the skin, the central and peripheral nervous systems, bones, and the cardiovascular and endocrine systems. We report 2 cases of type 1 neurofibromatosis in 2 patients aged 27 and 23 years respectively. The dermatological lesions (neurofibroma and café au lait spots) were the revealing symptoms. Cerebral MRI revealed a glioma of the optic chiasm developing along the Optic nerves. NF1 has been known for ...

Craniopharyngioma is a slow growing benign epithelial tumor, growing from the pituitary stalk or pituitary gland in the sellar and/or parasellar region. Despite its benignity, the quality of life of patients is most often altered, due to the endocrine, visual and neuro-intellectual sequelae linked to the tumor itself and/or its treatment, as well as a high rate of recurrence. local. Early diagnosis remains the determining factor in prognosis. The objective of this study is to ...

Introduction: The ovarian tumors are benign or malignant, primary or secondary proliferative processes, cystic aspect, solid or vegetating, whose growth is not directly related to a Hormonal dysfunction. They can grow at the coating tissue, be embryonic or endocrine origin.Aim: Assess the frequency of ovarian tumors and clarify their phenotypic and evolutionary characteristics.Population and methodology: This is a retrospective stu...
