Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in men but despite a high prevalence and incidence, there are few published cases of cutaneous metastases in literature. Skin lesions usually appear late and with a peculiar clinical presentation, which generally leads to delays in the suspicion of cutaneous metastasis of prostate cancer. In this paper, we present the case of a patient with nodular lesions at the glans level in which the histopathological study and the clinical history were critical in the diagnosis.

Teratoma is a germ cell tumor, usually manifesting in children and adolescents. It typically forms in gonads or in axial structures, probably, following the path of germ cells during embryonic development. Retroperitoneal teratoma is a very uncommon variety of germ cell tumors, seen in only approximately 5% of infantile cases. Whereas adrenal teratoma is extremely rare.1 In this case report, we present such a rare case of a boy with adrenal teratoma.

Fetus in fetu is an extremely rare congenital pathology that has an incidence of one in 500 000 births.1 The cases reported in the literature are about or fewer than 100 cases in the last two centuries.2 The clinical manifestation is usually resumed to an abdominal mass which is located in the upper right retro-peritoneum space and is often deformed due to compression by the host’s abdominal organ, and there are other manifestations. Our patient presented with abdominal mass and hydronephrosis caused by compression of the ureter via the mass.

A previously-healthy 42-year-old man, a military worker, was admitted to the Emergency Department for was admitted to the Emergency Department with cough, dyspnea and fever. The patient has never been a smoker, was never followed for a medical condition. The initial assessment revealed the presence of respiratory rales in both lung fields without abnormal sign on heart auscultation. Patient had severe hypoxemia (SaO2 86%). His body temperature was 39.0°C. A chest X-ray revealed diffuse haziness dominant in his right lung field. Chest computed tomography revealed ground glass opacity. Lab examination revealed elevated white blood cell (WBC) count (20 320/ mm3) with 97% neutrophils, and high C-reactive protein (CRP) rate (45mg/l).

Nephroblastoma, also known as Wilms’ tumour, is the most common malignant renal tumor in children accounting for about 95% of all pediatric tumors of the kidney. Overall, nephroblastoma is the fifth most common pediatric malignancy.1 It is an embryonal tumor that develops from the remnant of persistent metanephric tissue and is made up of histologic elements namely blastemal, stromal and epithelial.1 Nephroblastoma is relatively more common in blacks than in whites and is associated with a number of syndromes such as WAGR, Beckwith Wiedemann, and Denys-Drash syndromes.2 Nephroblastoma usually present as a painless abdominal mass which may be associated with haematuria, hypertension, and fever. The peak age of incidence of nephroblastoma is 3.5 years. Incidence beyond 5 years of age is rare.3 Prognosis of nephroblastoma depends on the tumor stage, biological factors and histological subtype. Treatment of nephroblastoma is multimodal which includes surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy.3 We report an unusual case of nephroblastoma with spinal metastasis in a 12 year old Nigerian female. The focus of this article is to draw attention to this unusual case of nephroblastoma, which was painful, in a 12 year old and for clinicians to consider the diagnosis of nephroblastoma in older children that have renal masses.

According to the ISSVA classification, all vascular anomalies are divided into tumors and malformations. Malformations are divided into venous, lymphatic, capillary and arteriovenous malformations and fistulas. Venous lake (VL) is a special case of venous malformation, which has virtually no communication with the draining veins and is located superficially in the papillary layer of the dermis.1 This formation is often mistakenly called “hemangioma”. VL was first described in 1956 by Bean and Walsh.2 This formation is typical for age-related patients. Clinically manifested by a flat spot of blue or purple color, located at the level of the skin or slightly rising above it. The size of the formation averages from 2 to 10mm.3 Under palpation it soft consistence, painless, under you click is emptied, but under omission finger again is filled with blood (color is returning). Microscopically, the VM is an expanded vein containing several channels and located in the papillary layer of the dermis. Most often located in the lips, face, neck and ear, that is, it is the area that most often can be damaged by the sun. In addition, it can be located on the mucous membrane of the cheeks, tongue or gums. Predisposing factors that cause the appearance of VL include: solar damage, chronic trauma, which cause damage to the adventitia of blood vessels or the occurrence of vascular thrombosis.4 This malformation causes significant cosmetic and psychological discomfort5 for the patient, in some cases there may be rapid growth, which is accompanied by the appearance of a defect of the skin over the formation and bleeding, which is accompanied by a pronounced pain syndrome.

Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt surgery is the treatment of choice for hydrocephalus with approved efficacy. Nonetheless, in 10-30% of patients, abdominal complications may develop. These complications include peritoneal pseudocyst, migration of the catheter to various organs including intestine, vagina, scrotum, umbilicus, and urinary bladder, in addition to volvulus, ascitis, inguinal hernia and intestinal obstruction.1
