ABSTRACT
Based on a retrospective study over a six year period, we report 15 cases of tuberculosis of the larynx, confirmed histologically. Dysphonia was the main symptom. The diagnosis rests on direct laryngoscopy and biopsy, with histology. Medical treatment achieves a good outcome.

Aneurysmal bone cyst is a benign lesion, rarely found in the craniofacial region and exceptionally in the mandible. One previously unreported case originally in the mandible is presented with a review of the literature. The authors insist on pathological diagnostic and therapeutic characteristics.
