[Wegener's disease: localized and generalized forms].

Two new cases of Wegener's granulomatosis are reported. One of them with the classic sinusal, pulmonary and renal involvement, and the other one as a limited form of the disease, only with respiratory affection, sparing the characteristic renal entailment, although its prolonged survival. The AA, comment literature controversial about if the forms limited to the ENT-area represents a unique and separate entity or an early and modified state of the disease.

[Rare benign tumors in otorhinolaryngology: plasma cell granuloma and histiocytoma].

Two benign tumors in the face are reported. Plasma cell granuloma is a rare benign tumor that affects people at all ages and most frequently involves the lung. It is dominated by mature plasma cell proliferation. The AA. report a case appearing as a painless nontender mass in the right cheek, with purplish discoloration of the overlying skin. Differential diagnosis with Plasmocytoma was considered. Histiocytoma are most common seen on the lower extremities of young adults. Reporting a case localized on the skin of the root of the nose. Differential diagnosis with osteoma is made.

[Open wound of the larynx caused by the horn of a bull].

Open laryngeal traumas are seldom seen in E.N.T., specially those ones secondary to horn bull goring. We do a synthetized study with regard to report this original case treated in our Service. We justify the paper because of the intensity, the seriousness and the originality of the picture.

[Mixed tumor of the external auditory canal].

Ceruminoma is a collective term applied to tumors arising from the modified apocrine (ceruminous) glands of the external auditory canal. Four distinctive histopathologic patterns are recognized: adenoma, pleomorphic adenoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, and adenocarcinoma. We report a case of pleomorphic adenoma. It manifested as a soft mass covered with epithelium, filling the right external auditory canal. Wide local excision was the treatment, but local recurrence appeared four years later.

[Granular cell tumor of the larynx].

Granular cell tumors are unusual tumors that can affect any site of the body, with most cases affecting the head and neck region. First described by Abrikossoff, considerable debate has surrounded the histogenesis of this neoplasm. We report a case of granular cell myoblastoma of the larynx. Histological features are described. The treatment was surgical removal, endoscopically.

[Peripharyngeal abscess. Apropos of 2 cases].

Peripharyngeal abscess still occurs despite the advent of antibiotics. Mediastinitis developing from a retropharyngeal abscess is a rare complication. A patient with retropharyngeal and subsequent mediastinal abscess is reported. We explain how pathological processes in the neck, can spread into the chest by direct continuity or by dissection through the fascial planes. We also report another patient lateropharyngeal abscess and respiratory distress.

[Cavernous hemangioma of the larynx in the adult. Apropos of a case].

We present a case of cavernous hemangioma located in the supraglottic area in an adult, whose clinical debut was airway obstruction. We remark on the singularity of this case, because the great majority are present during the first year of life, located in subglottis. A review of the literature and current modes of treatment of hemangiomas is also presented.
