Abstract
Worldwide, Bladder cancer is the most frequent male malignancy. It is the third most common male malignancy in Morocco. The risk factors for developing bladder cancer are multiples including dietary conditions, environmental exposure and oxidative stress. GPX1 gene encoding for the human cellular antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase1 is a key factor in the cell detoxification process. GPX1 Pro198Leu polymorphism is associated with a decrease of enzyme activity and may contribute to bladder cancer susceptibility. The present case-control study was planned to assess the presence of GPX1 Pro198Leu polymorphism in Moroccan population to determine whether it is associated with the risk of developing bladder cancer in Moroccan patients. A total of 32 patients with bladder cancer and 40 healthy controls were enrolled. Genotyping of the GPX1 Pro198Leu polymorphism was carried out by PCR amplification and DNA sequencing. Pro198Leu polymorphism was observed in both bladder cancer patients and healthy controls. No significant association between the polymorphism and bladder cancer occurrence was found (Pro/Leu vs. Pro/Pro: p=0.425; Leu vs. Pro: p=0.435). For the analysis of Pro198Leu polymorphism and progression of bladder cancer, no association was observed neither for stages (Pro/Leu vs. Pro/Pro: p=0.500; Leu vs. Pro: p=0.500) nor grades (Pro/Leu vs. Pro/Pro: p=0.415; Leu vs. Pro: p=0.427). Our results clearly showed no significant association between Pro198Leu polymorphism and risk of bladder cancer in our population, suggesting that the effect of this polymorphism on bladder cancer development might be a result of a combination with other genetic alterations and/or non-genetic variables such as diet and lifestyle factors.

Abstract
Induced sarcoïdosis during therapy with interferon for chronic viral hepatitis C involves mainly by isolated cutaneous lesions or with lung lesions. Systemic forms are very rare. We report an observation. A 50-year-old patient developed a systemic sarcoïdosis two months after the end of treatment for hepatitis C with pegylated interferon and ribavirin with lung, joint and hepatic manifestations. After starting corticosteroid therapy, the evolution was favourable. Induced sarcoïdosis by interferon therapy is rare, treatment necessitates stopping interferon, and sometimes corticosteroid therapy.

Abstract
Breast cancer is usually associated with metastases to lungs, bones and liver. Breast carcinoma metastasizing to the gallbladder is very rare. We report the case of 45-year-old female with clinical presentation of acute Cholecystitis, who underwent cholecystectomy in emergency. The Gallbladder showed a nodule on the Gallbladder wall. Histological examination disclosed a metastasis from a lobular breast carcinoma with positive hormone receptors. The patient had received three months previously a right mastectomy with axillar dissection followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapyfor lobular breast cancer stage III, PT3N1M0, showing hormone receptors. We present a rare case of acute cholecystitis from metastatic breast cancer three months after management of primary cancer.

Abstract
The CpG promoter methylation has been reported to occur frequently in bladder cancer. Moreover, analysis of gene methylation has been shown to be feasible from voided urine and can be detected with a high degree of sensitivity. The aim of this present study is to determine how methylation patterns of APC, RARβ and Survivin genes change during bladder carcinogenesis and to evaluate whether DNA methylation could be detected in urine sediment. Using the sensitive assay of MSP, we explored the promoter methylation status for the three genes in tumor specimens and urine sediment DNA from 32 bladder cancer patients. Methylation frequencies of the tested genes in tumor specimens were 100%, 75% and 84.4% for APC, RARβ and Survivin, respectively. Hypermethylation of APC was found in all pathological grades and stages of bladder cancer. More frequent promoter hypermethylation of RARβ and Survivin was observed in high grade tumors and the hypermethylation increased from low to high stages, but there was no significant correlation between stages/grades and hypermethylation of these two gene promoters. In order to investigate clinical usefulness for noninvasive bladder cancer detection, we further analyzed the methylation status in urine samples of bladder cancer patients. Methylation of the tested genes in urine sediment DNA was detected in the majority of cases that were hypermethylated in tumor samples (93.7%) and the frequencies were 79.3% 70.8% and 96.3% for APC, RARβ and Survivin, respectively. Our results indicate that methylation of APC, RARβ and Survivin gene promoters is a common finding in patients with bladder carcinoma. The ability to detect methylation not only in bladder tissue, but also in urine sediments, suggests that methylation markers are promising tools for noninvasive detection of bladder cancer.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Primary nasal T/NK cell lymphoma is a very rare pathological clinical entity; it was defined by the WHO in 2001, thanks to immunohistochemistry. The treatment combines radiotherapy and chemotherapy. We report a case. CASE REPORT A 20-year-old male patient was admitted for ulceration of the vestibular mucosa from tooth 20 to 26, in June 2008. The lesion had appeared four months before, with a painful ulceration close to tooth 25. The lesion evolved progressively, it eroded the alveolar bone, exposing the roots of teeth 24, 25, and 26. CT scan revealed lysis of the external maxillary sinus wall. The diagnosis of T/NK cell lymphoma was obtained by immunohistochemistry of the biopsy. The tumor was staged IeA according to the Ann Arbor classification. After four courses of CHOP chemotherapy and two years of follow-up there was no recurrence. DISCUSSION Maxillary T/NK cell lymphoma is extremely rare. The diagnosis is based on immunohistochemistry. The treatment associates chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Recent studies suggest that radiotherapy at an early stage could improve the prognosis. But there is no consensus on therapeutic protocols.

Abstract
Desmoplastic ameloblastoma is a benign, locally aggressive neoplasm of proliferating odontogenic epithelial origin. It is seen among old patients from 17 to 72 years with an average age 42 years and without predilection of sex. We report the case of a 7 year old child, having presented since the 5 years age, a gingival tumefaction on the left higher incisivo-canin group which increased volume gradually. The stomatologic examination showed a gingival tumefaction covered with a healthy mucous membrane, ovoid form and measuring 3 cm on its horizontal axis. The tomodensitometry of the jawbone showed in front of the 21st and the 22nd tooth, the presence of an osseous lesion associating of the hearths of osteolysis and osteocondensation with rupture of cortical and invasion of the soft tissue. A curetting of the lesion was carried out and the anatomopathologic examination retained the diagnosis of desmoplastic ameloblastoma. The characteristic of our observation is the youth of the patient. In addition, the desmoplastic ameloblastoma is relatively rare, is characterized by an anatomical distribution, a radiological appearance and a morphological aspect differents from the traditional ameloblastoma. A radical surgical treatment is suggested for this tumour to avoid recurrency.

Abstract
Blastomycosis is a systemic fungal infection caused by a thermally dimorphic fungus, Blastomyces dermatitidis. The incidence in immunocompromised patients has increased in the last two decades. A 55-year-old man consulted for inflammatory nodules on the forearm. Biopsy of one nodules showed a pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplastic epidermis overlaying a dense agranulomatous inflammatory infiltrate containing free-formed ovoid bodies enclosing giant macrophageous cells. These findings were consistent with blastomycosis. After a month of treatment cutaneous lesions regressed partially but the patient's general status continued to deteriorate with the appearance of an edematous-ascitic syndrome and icterus. Laboratory blood testing demonstrated cholestasia and abdominal ultrasound showed hepatosplenomegaly. Needle liver biopsy revealed giant B-cell lymphomatous infiltration of the hepatic ducts. The patient's condition worsened rapidly and he died five months after diagnosis despite four rounds of chemotherapy. Blastomycosis is rare in Morocco. Primary infection is usually a pneumonic process. Isolated cutaneous infection is possible but uncommon. To our knowledge the association of blastomycosis and intravascular lymphoma has not been previously reported. In immunocompromised patients, clinical findings can be alarming and the outcome can be rapidly fatal.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Granular cell tumors (GCT) are rarely located in the perianal area. OBSERVATION Over the past 3 years, a 56 year-old man presented a papule of the right margin of the anus that had progressively increased in size (1.5 cm). Cell proliferation was located in the dermis and strongly expressed the S100 protein. It was covered by a pseudo-epitheliomatous hyperplasia of the overlying epidermis. Forty months after local surgical excision, there was no sign of recurrence. COMMENTS Granular cell tumors are rare and usually benign. When cutaneous or mucosal, the pseudo-epitheliomatous hyperplasia of the overlying epithelium may, on superficial samples, be mistakenly diagnosed as squamous cell carcinomas. Malignant GCT may, histologically, appear identical to a benign GCT and only the appearance of metastases (generally after local recurrence) permits the subsequent diagnosis of malignancy.
