[Papilar thyroid carcinoma. An unusual clinic]. / Carcinoma papilar de tiroides de localizacion inusual.

The Papillary carcinoma is the most frequent neoplasic tumour of the thyroid gland. It accounts for 70-75% of all malignant thyroid tumours. In 80-90% of cases it presents as a slow-growing single thyroid node. Nevertheless, in 10-26% of cases, the initial presentation is a lateral neck mass without palpable thyroid mass. We present the case of a 67 year- old patient who attended to the ENT out-patient clinic with a lateral neck mass which had been growing slowly over the course of number of years.

[Unifocal eosinophilic granuloma of the temporal bone]. / Granuloma eosinófilo unifocal de hueso temporal.

We present a case of a twelve year old child with a eosinophilic granuloma of the temporal bone. The eosinophilic granuloma is the most frecuent and most benign form of the histiocytosis of the Langerhans cells. The frecuency of the othological manifestations of this condition varies between 15-60 percent and radiologically, the images are characterized by litho-lesions with sharp edges. The diagnosis is histological and the treatment includes surgical intervention accompanied by inter-lesion corticoid-therapy and/or radiotherapy.
