Central neurocytoma is a rare intraventricular tumor, occurring typically in the lateral ventricle of young adults. It is considered as a neuronal-glial benign tumor with favorable prognosis. Imaging is a cornerstone allowing the accurate preoperative diagnosis on the basis of several characteristic features. We report the case of a 31-year-old man who has been complaining of progressive headaches and in whom brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed a central neurocytoma. We remind then, through a literature review, the main criteria to set the diagnosis of this tumor and rule out the other possible diagnoses.

Tuberculosis of the uterine cervix is extremely rare. An awareness of sonographic findings is necessary when evaluating for cervical lesions because it can mimic other masses, especially cervical cancer. This is a case of hypertrophic tuberculosis of the uterine cervix presented with chronic leucorrhea. Initial diagnosis was made by endovaginal sonography and confirmed after biopsy.
