We report a case diagnosed on the basis of histologic and immunohistochemical studies of a hysterectomy specimen induced by a very painful pelvic mass in a 50-year-old patient with no previous history of the disease. It was classified as Ann Arbor IV Bb after imaging, given the medullary infiltration and signs of clinical and biological evolutivity: the patient had received two courses of chemotherapy, CHOP protocol. She died 23 days after the second treatment due to a hypertensive crisis.展开更多

Zinder is the most populated region of Niger with 5 million inhabitants that is 1/5 of Niger population. The demographic impact that has affected Niger the last 10 years: unemployment poverty and drug use, spawned violence of all kinds in Zinder region (physical and sexual violence). Sexual abuse is a major risk for poor psychiatric and physical outcomes. As sexual violence has serious consequences on the life and future of women and the community and it concerns our field of intervention, we initiated this study whose objective was to determine the socio-epidemiological and lesional aspects, the consequences and appropriate solutions of sexual violence in the Zinder. Methodology: This was a retrospective collection study of all cases of alleged sexual violence received over a 12-year period from 1 January 2009 to 30 June 2021 in Zinder’s referral maternity wards. Results: During the study period, 441 cases of sexual violence were collected;an annual average of 36 cases (441/12). The frequency is 1.29% on the 34,186 consultations. The mean age was 12.31 years with age extremes of 3 to 43 years. Students accounted for 25.39%. Street vendors were found in 224 cases or 50.79%. The predominant reason for admission is rape in 64.63%. The defloration was 52.15%. Pregnancy was found in 118 cases or 26.75%. HIV serology was positive in 1 victim. School dropout was 26.75%. Conclusion: The victims of sexual violence were minors, mostly street vendors and school children. The lack of means of repression at the time allowed the expansion of this violence. The consequences of sexual violence were severe. Advocacy has improved the phenomen on of sexual violence in Zinder.展开更多

Added to this is, the under-medicalization of the health system. The objective of study is to report a case of late consultation and its consequences and make recommendations to improve: case of abdominal pregnancy with hemorrhagic placenta at the Health and Mother Center (CSME) in Zinder/Niger. Clinical Observation: We describe a case of abdominal pregnancy with hemorrhagic placenta in a 24-year-old woman, without profession, resident in the city of Zinder with a low economic level, consulted for abdomino-pelvic pain. She had a notion of amenorrhea for 5 months without any consultation made. She was pale, feverish and had abdominal pain. Ultrasound revealed a 23-week-old fetus and an empty uterus. The diagnosis was abdominal pregnancy. A laparotomy was performed and a The morbidity was hysterectomy and anemia. The postoperative period course was complicated with anemia. The patient was cured on the 9th day with a good vital prognosis. Conclusion: Abdominal pregnancy occurred in a patient who presented a risk factor. Ultrasound was the key diagnostic test. Surgery was the treatment of choice and the prognosis depends on the earliness of the consultation. Community awareness and early consultation with health services can improve the prognosis of abdominal pregnancy.展开更多
