ABSTRACT
The Papillary carcinoma is the most frequent neoplasic tumour of the thyroid gland. It accounts for 70-75% of all malignant thyroid tumours. In 80-90% of cases it presents as a slow-growing single thyroid node. Nevertheless, in 10-26% of cases, the initial presentation is a lateral neck mass without palpable thyroid mass. We present the case of a 67 year- old patient who attended to the ENT out-patient clinic with a lateral neck mass which had been growing slowly over the course of number of years.

We present a case of a twelve year old child with a eosinophilic granuloma of the temporal bone. The eosinophilic granuloma is the most frecuent and most benign form of the histiocytosis of the Langerhans cells. The frecuency of the othological manifestations of this condition varies between 15-60 percent and radiologically, the images are characterized by litho-lesions with sharp edges. The diagnosis is histological and the treatment includes surgical intervention accompanied by inter-lesion corticoid-therapy and/or radiotherapy.

El carcinoma papilar es el tumor más frecuente de la glándula tiroides, con una frecuencia del 70-75% de todos los cánceres tiroideos. En el 80-90% de los casos se manifesta como un nódulo tiroideo único de crecimiento lento. Sin embargo, en el 10-26%; la forma de presentación es de una tumoración laterocervical aislada en ausencia de una masa tiroidea palpable. Presentamos el caso de un paciente de 67 años de edad que acudió a consulta por tumoración laterocervical de varios años de evolución

Presentamos el caso de un niño de 12 años de edad con un granuloma eosinófilo del hueso temporal. El granuloma eosinófilo es la forma más benigna y frecuente de la histiocitosis de células Langerhans. La frecuencia de manifestaciones otológicas varía entre un 15-60% y radiológicamente las imágenes se caracterizan por lesiones líticas de bordes cortantes. El diagnóstico es necesariamente histológico y el tratamiento incluye resección quirúrgica acompañado de corticoterapia intralesional y/o radioterapia
