Synovial sarcoma of the limbs (about 20 cases)
Evaluate retrospectively, in a homogeneous series of patients with synovial sarcoma of the limbs, the different steps of the management of this disease, the diagnosis and the therapeutic difficulties. This is a retrospective study of 20 cases of synovial sarcoma of the limbs treated in orthopedic surgery department at Ibn Sina university hospital and in the National Institute of Oncology Rabat, between January 2000 and December 2012. 20 cases of synovial sarcoma of the limbs were collected of which 12 were localized in the lower limb and 8 localized in the upper limb. The mean age was 45 years with a male predominance. The patients consulted after an average period of 18 months and tumoral syndrome was the constant reason for consultation. All the patients were treated surgically, except the 4 cases with lung metastases. After an average follow-up of 48 months, 10 patients are alive, 5 died and 5 are lost of view. Because of their rarity, the diversity of their histological types and their localization, synovial sarcoma presents problems at every stage of their management. Identification of specific chromosomal translocations is a great advantage in their diagnosis. Multidisciplinary approach is mandatory in their management.

Acute streptococcal myocarditis mimicking acute st elevation myocardial infarction
Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the cardiac muscle associated with both infectious and noninfectious diseases. Among the infectious etiologies, viruses are the most frequent pathogens, streptococcus is rarely reported as a causative pathogen of acute myocarditis without clinical features suggestive of rheumatic fever. No epidemiological data estimating the incidence of group A streptococcus (GAS) induced myocarditis exist at this time [1]. The clinical manifestations are variable: it classically presents as an acute heart failure and can also be manifested with arrhythmia (tachycardia or bradycardia) or chest pain mimicking myocardial infarction, especially in young patients, accompanied with focal ST elevations on the electrocardiogram and elevated cardiac biomarkers. Here we present a case of a 44- year-old man who presented with myocarditis mimicking ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) a few days after he an episode of angina.
