RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Choristoma is a mass presenting normal histology, but in an abnormal location. Cystic choristoma is rarely reported in the head and neck region. Neonatal cystic masses in the neck suggest usually correspond to a diagnosis of cystic lymphangioma. CASE REPORT: We report a case of a congenital cystic choristoma of the neck clinically and radiologically mimicking cystic lymphangioma. DISCUSSION: Congenital cystic choristoma is an extremely rare lesion, essentially described in neonates, composed of various types of tissues. The diagnosis of congenital cystic choristoma may be suggested on imaging and must be confirmed by histopathological examination. Treatment consists of complete surgical resection.

INTRODUCTION: Osteosarcoma of the craniofacial bones location is less common, usually with low grade of malignancy; it has better prognosis when surgical excision is complete. REPORT CASE: We report a case of a 35-year-old male diagnosed with a low-grade chondroblastic osteosarcoma of the mandible. The patient was treated with surgery alone and recovered with pectoralis major myocutaneous flap. After 48 months, the oncology's and aesthetics results are good. DISCUSSION: We will discuss the treatment of chondroblastic osteosarcoma of the mandible.

Persistent Müllerian ducts syndrome is a rare form of internal male pseudohermaphroditism, characterized by the presence of the uterus, fallopian tubes and upper vagina in an otherwise normally virilised male with a 46 XY karyotype. It is the result of a deficiency in anti-Müllerian hormone or abnormality of this hormone receptor. Often, the diagnosis is made incidentally during surgical exploration for cryptorchidism or herniorrhaphy, and exceptionally during cancer of ectopic testis. We discuss a rare case of this syndrome revealed by a bilateral intra-abdominal gonadal tumor.
