ABSTRACT
The noma has been rarely seen during these last decades. It is of an infections etiology, primarily affecting malnourished or immunodeficient children. It is easily confused with neoplastic tumors, tuberculosis, mycosis or gangrene ecthyma which may condition errors in treatment with severe undesirable side-effects. It has recently been associated to AIDS. A case is reported, comments are included on the diagnostic method, medical and surgical treatment and the results obtained.

La cola o apendice caudal en el humano, es un defecto congenito, extremadamente raro.Esta malformacion, generalmente se compone de tejidos blandos y en casos excepcionales, puede contener hueso o estructuras cartilaginosas. En general, no se asocia con factores teratogenicos y su etiologia es debida a errores embriologicos. La similitud con faunos y satiros, asi como por supersticiones, han aislado a los pacientes con esta anomalia del interes medico y publico. Nosotros presentamos dos casos, revision de la literatura y la clasificacion mas actualizada de esta malformacion
