ABSTRACT: Behcet syndrome is a systemic disease with venous tropism, generally expressed by thrombosis and phlebitis. Arterial involvement is more exceptional but can lead to aneurysm of the pulmonary artery, generally not more than three. We report a patient with Behcet syndrome who developed multiple aneurysms of the pulmonary artery and discuss the clinical, radiological aspects as well as the disease course and therapeutic management.

ABSTRACT: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) are exceptional and painful. The typical localization along a peripheral nerve is not always present. Prognosis is very poor. Diagnosis is particularly difficult because of the variable pathological presentation and unpredictable differentiation. We report an exceptional case of epithelioid differentiation in a 43-Year-old patient who complained of right thoracic pain for one and a half Years. Physical examination revealed weight loss and a paravertebral mass under the scapula. The chest x-ray showed a suprahilar opacity suggestive of parietal involvement and lysis of the sixth rib. Surgical biopsy of the parietal mass led to the diagnosis of epithelioid MPNST.

ABSTRACT: Leptospirosis is a systemic infection transmitted to man by a variety of animals. Classical manifestations include fever, liver and renal involvement, meningoencephalitis and hemorrhage. Pulmonary involvement is less common, generally expressed by hemoptysis and bilateral reticulonodular infiltration on the chest x-ray. Pulmonary disease is one of the principal causes of mortality. We report the cases of two patients aged 22 and 32 years who were hospitalized for moderately abundant hemopysis and fever. The diagnosis of leptospirosis with pulmonary involvement, strongly suggested by the classical extrapulmonary signs and was confirmed later. The patients were given antibiotics (amoxicillin, cycline). Clinical, biological and radiological outcome was favorable.

ABSTRACT: We report a case of primary pulmonary Hodgkin's disease in a 20 year-old woman. The chest x-ray showed a chronic alveolar syndrome. The diagnosis was established from a pulmonary biopsy. The radiological features and the options for diagnosis of primary pulmonary Hodgkin's disease are discussed.

ABSTRACT: We report a case of multifocal tuberculosis with the following features: - skin involvement with multiple gommes disseminated on the left upper limb, the left flank, the right hypocondrium, and the right leg; - nodal involvement including the left supraclavicular, left axillary, right laterotracheal, pre and subcarineal, ceoeliomesenteric, and liver hilus nodes; splenic involvement; right pleural involvement; - spondylodiscitis of T11-T12 and of the head of the right fibula; - peritoneal involvement leading to ascitis; - multi-organ involvement. This 43-year-old woman had not particular history: no diabetes, no renal failure, no long-term corticosteroid treatment, no immunosuppressor treatment, negative HIV-1 and HIV-2 serology. Treatment with anti-tuberculosis agents led to severe drug reactions causing death due to hepatic encephalitis.
