ABSTRACT
El seudotumor inflamatorio es una neoformación benigna infrecuente potencialmente invasiva. En cabeza y cuello afecta principalmente a órbita y senos paranasales. Presentamos un caso de afectación amigdalar y cervical, con biopsia diagnóstica obtenida mediante amigdalectomía. Tras amigdalectomía y corticoterapia, no se ha detectado recurrencia a los 2 años (AU)

Presentamos los casos de cinco pacientes con infección amigdalar debida a Yersinia enterocolitica. Fue común la ausencia de respuesta a antibióticos de empleo habitual y el contacto habitual con suidos. El diagnóstico definitivo se estableció por aislamientos microbiológicos de muestras histológicas amigdalares (AU)
We present five cases of tonsillitis secondary to Yersinia enterocolitica. No response to commonly-used antibiotics and continuous professional contact with pigs were common. The definitive diagnosis was established by bacteriological isolation on tonsil tissue samples (AU)
