ABSTRACT
Three cases of rare entities in nasal pathology are reported. Two of them are high-grade lymphomas (T/NK type), with nasal blockage as the first symptom. Clinical course and treatment response are described. The third case refers to an infrequent benign nasal entity called angiocentric eosinophilic fibrosis. Its aetiology and management remains rather uncertain nowadays.

Se describen 3 casos correspondientes a enfermedades de presentación poco habitual en fosas nasales. Dos de ellos corresponden a linfomas de alto grado, que aparecieron con síntoma principal de obstrucción respiratoria, entidades tipo T/NK. Se describe su evolución, así como respuestas a los tratamientos instaurados. El último caso clínico se refiere a un cuadro benigno poco frecuente, conocido como fibrosis angiocéntrica eosinofílica, de cuyos etiología y manejo terapéutico hay conocimientos escasos en la actualidad
