[Meningoradiculitis revealing an occult medulloblastoma-PNET in an adult].

Neoplastic meningitis as the presentation of occult primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) is occasionally described in children. We report the case of an 64 year old-man who presented a meningo-radiculopathy with progressive injury of the cauda equina and then the ocular motor nerves, revealing an occult medulloblastoma-PNET.

Listeriosis after fludarabine treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

The authors report a case of Listeria monocytogenes septicemia in a patient with advanced CLL after a single course of fludarabine, without any other immunosuppressive therapy e.g. corticosteroids. The immunosuppressive action of fludarabine in patients who are already severely immunosuppressed must be considered from a diagnostic and therapeutic point of view. Listeriosis and other opportunistic infections, like pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, have been reported during and after treatment with purine analogues. Prophylaxis with cotrimoxazole must therefore be discussed in patients with CLL treated with fludarabine.

[Cutaneous metastatic Crohn disease. Apropos of a case].

The authors report the case of a 54-year old man suffering from facial papulonodular eruption. He has Crohn's disease which was diagnosed 36 years ago. There were no clinical symptoms of the disease when the cutaneous manifestations occurred. The biopsy of a cutaneous lesion showed cutaneous granuloma at skin's level. Having no other etiology, we shall diagnose it as a cutaneous metastatic Crohn's disease. Derived sulfasalazine (Pentasa) healed all lesions in 1 month. This observation reminded us to that it is essential to biopsy all atypical cutaneous lesions occurring in a Crohn's disease case.
