RESUMO
The orbital cellulitis is an infection of the soft tissues located behind of the orbital setum. It is presented as a complication of an acute sinusitis although it can appear as consequence of other infectious processes. We present a series of 20 cases diagnosed and treated in our center of orbital cellulitis. We expose the diagnostic criteria that we have followed, as well as the complementary tests used and the different treatments both medical and surgical.

Nowadays due to the use of antibiotics the occurrence of a general complication of tonsillitis is extremely rare. Lemierre in 1936 throroughly described one of these events. We introduce a case of postanginal septicaemia detected in a previous healthy young woman. We also undertake a review of Lemierre's syndrome cases published within the last seven years in the English and Spanish literature, giving special attention to diagnostical methods and therapeutical strategies.

The esthesioneuroblastoma is a very uncommon malignant growth arising from olfactory epithelium. Almost 400 cases have been published since its was first described. Owing to the meager figures of these series is not possible to drawn out conclusions in order to establish an unique protocol of treatment for this tumoral type. We present 2 cases diagnosed in our Department, each diversely treated and comment the results.

Waldeyer's ring is a relatively common location for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Here, we report an epidemiological study of Waldeyer's ring lymphomas based on data for 55 cases treated over a 19-year period at three centers in northern Spain. In most respects our results confirm those of previous studies. The average delay between first consultation and diagnosis was 3.8 months, and was longer for nasopharyngeal lymphomas than for tonsillar lymphomas.
