    Abstract Harlequin syndrome corresponds to unilateral dysfunction of the sympathetic system, characterized by flush and unilateral hyperhidrosis associated with hypo or anhidrosis and paleness of the opposite side. It is, usually, idiopathic. Rarely, it may be associated with compressive organic processes, iatrogenic causes, and general diseases. It is a real therapeutic challenge.

    Abstract Mesothelial cysts are uncommon benign cysts of the mediastinum. Rarely, they are discovered after complications or unusual presentations. This report describes a rare case of pleural effusion revealing a ruptured mediastinal mesothelial cyst in a 28-year-old man. The diagnosis of this complicated mesothelial cyst relied on intraoperative and anatomopathological findings. He underwent videothoracoscopy with resection of the cyst. Outcomes were favourable.

    Abstract Introduction: In adults, minimal change disease (MCD) accounts for 15 to 25% of nephrotic syndrome (NS). Numerous reports have suggested a link between NS and atopy. However, data on treatment and prognosis of NS associated with allergy are limited.
    Aim: To examine the presenting characteristics, treatments and outcomes of adults with allergic MCD in a North African center.
    Methods: This was an observational study using retrospectively collected data. Patients were recruited from the Nephrology department of Sahloul Hospital (Sousse, Tunisia) from January 2006 to December 2020. Adults with a biopsy proved MCD, which was associated with atopy, were included.
    Results: Fifteen patients (eight males, age mean±SD: 34±13 years) were included. High eosinophil and immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels were noted in three and twelve patients respectively. The IgE mean level at the initial presentation was 1431 IU/ml. Allergic skin tests were positive in nine patients. All patients were treated with corticosteroids, five had anti-histamine therapy and five had hyposensitization therapy, which was successful in two patients. Thirteen patients had relapsed during follow-up. Mean eosinophil level was significantly higher in patients with frequent relapses compared to those with infrequent relapses (5415/mm³ vs. 239.12/mm³, respectively, p=0.022). Two patients had progressed to chronic renal failure.
    Conclusion: It is important to search for atopic disorders in patients with MCD to better control this disease and use specific treatments. However, the efficacy of anti-allergic therapies has to be proven.

    Abstract A 61-year-old woman presented with a 3-year history of painless soft-tissue mass on the right sole. The patient reported gradual growth, with a rapid increase in size over the past few months, leading to difficulty in walking. She had no history of past trauma. Examination revealed a 4-cm ovoid mass located over the ball of the foot. It was firm in consistency, with well-defined margins, a smooth surface, and an overlying normal skin (Figure 1). An ultrasound image revealed an eccentric, hypoechoic, nonvascular subcutaneous lobular mass. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the foot revealed a well-defined mass arising from the flexor tendon sheath of the right foot. The lesion was heterogeneously hyperin-tense on T1- and T2-weighted images with an avid contrast enhancement. All of the surrounding soft tissues indicated normal signal intensity patterns. There was no associated bony destruction. Histopathologic examination after complete excision of the mass established a well-circumscribed lesion composed of osteoclast-like giant cells and mononuclear cells in a hyalinized stroma, consistent with a giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCT-TS) (Figure 2). There was no recurrence during a 6-month follow-up period (Figure 3).

    Abstract Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare mesenchymal tumor usually seen within the first and second decade. They are extremely rare in adults, constituting less than 1% of adult lung tumors. It's usually benign, but it had a tendency for local recurrence. We report a case of asymptomatic inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of lung in a 46-year-old non-smoker woman.

    Abstract Cardiac metastases are rare. Herein, we report a case of a 37-year-old female patient with a history of borderline breast phyllodes tumor (PT) treated by surgery, admitted to our department for concomitant cardiac and pulmonary metastases of malignant PT. Cardiac metastasis occurred through direct extension from pulmonary metastasis to the left atrium via the right inferior pulmonary vein, causing severe mitral valve obstruction. Although the total surgical removal of metastases, the patient had a huge relapse of the mediastinal metastasis resulting in her death.

    Abstract Mounier-Kuhn syndrome or tracheobronchomegaly is a rare disease characterized by marked dilation of the trachea and proximal bronchi with recurrent lower tract respiratory infections. Computed tomography and bronchoscopy are the key tools to accomplish the diagnosis. This is a condition with a clinical polymorphism, symptoms vary from minor with preserved respiratory function, to very severe with life threatening exacerbations leading to respiratory failure and premature death. The treatment is mainly symptomatic, stenting or surgery are reserved to extreme cases.Herein, we report two cases of the same condition with different clinical signs and diverse outcome.
