[Complete non-obstetrical uterine inversion].

A rare case of a gynaecologic uterine inversion is reported emphasizing on the exceptional character of the gynecologic uterine inversion and the pathogenic problems which are tackled. Gynaecologic inversion results from a tumor implanted on fundus of the uterus or from the essential atrophy of suspension ligaments of the uterus. Treatment depends on the anatomic type and the stage.

[Struma ovarii. A case report].

Struma ovarii is a rare ovarian tumor composed entirely or in part of thyroid tissue. Pathogenesis is unclear. Diagnosis rests on the histologic study. A case is reported.

[Fetal hydrocolpos].

Foetal hydrocolpos is a rare abnormality, which may be detected by antenatal ultrasound, during neonatal clinical examination or during autopsy of the foetus. Foetal prognosis is related to the extent of the initial anatomical abnormality. Foetal hydrocolpos is usually combined with other congenital malformations and is therefore part of a syndrome or combination. A review of the literature was carried out when two cases occurred in the Rabta maternity clinic in Tunis in order to investigate the incidence, diagnostic tools and prognosis of this abnormality.

[Multiple cancers. Apropos of a quadruple cancer].

A woman of 48 years of age presented over a period of twelve years with, successively, a cancer of the rectum, a cancer of the breast, cancer of the scalp and finally of the endometrium without metastases. Her general condition stayed good. We have looked into the nosological, statistical, pathogenic and prognostic features of multiple cancers. It does seem that the hormone state may be the trigger for this polycancerous condition (hyperoestrogenaemia). This was linked to an alimentary factor (obesity) and to a family history of a predisposition to cancer, as our patient was the tissue of a blood-related marriage and a member of a family where the incidence of cancer was 40%. Multiple cancers are 2.42% of all cancers but are mainly double or triple cancers. There are only 20 cases of quadruple cancers in the literature. One can divide these into: Cancers with a short interval between each appearance of simultaneous appearances, which usually occur at an advanced age, due to simple chance and often with a bad prognosis. Cancers that occur at longer intervals in younger people, which are rarer and show a family predisposition or endogenous factors. Their prognosis is as a whole better.
