RESUMO
We report two cases of salivary gland anlage tumor (SGAT), a nasopharyngeal lesion that affects newborns. The first case concerned a male newborn, presenting respiratory distress secondary to a nasopharyngeal mass. The second case was diagnosed in a 6-week-old girl, suffering from respiratory difficulties due to a nasal cavity mass. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the second case revealed the presence of several small round and linear fluid-like areas. Histologically, both lesions were suggestive of SGAT, characterized by epithelial structures that blended with spindle-cells, drawing highly cellular nodules. Connective tissue between nodules contained squamous cystic nests and ducts.

Metastatic gliomas are quite rare. We report a case of glioblastoma multiforme with bone marrow metastasis at the time of diagnosis, revealed by a bicytopenia. An autopsy was performed and several visceral metastases were discovered in the lung, the mediastinal lymph nodes and in the spleen.
