RESUMO
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMT) of the larynx are uncommon lesions that easily may be misinterpreted as malignant epithelial or mesenchymal spindle cell neoplasms. When located in the upper airway, IMTs tend to be less aggressive, but have the potential for local invasion and recurrence. The authors describe a rare case of IMT in a 47 year old man, occurring in the vocal fold who underwent surgical treatment five times, because of its higher recurrence rate.

Los tumores miofibroblásticos inflamatorios (TMI) de la laringe son lesiones poco frecuentes que fácilmente pueden ser confundidos como neoplasias malignas de células epiteliales mesenquimales. Cuando están localizadas en las vías aéreas superiores, los (TMI) tienen tendencia a menor agresividad, pero tienen el potencial de invasión local y recurrencia. Los autores describen un caso raro de TMI en un hombre de 47 años localizado en el pliegue vocal, que necesitó cinco intervenciones quirúrgicas, a causa de su proporción de alta repetición

Metastatic lesions in temporal bone were rare in the past but are increasing, it seems, nowadays. We present the case of a women patient which first and only metastatic symptom was her peripheral facial paralysis. In our review of world literature of this topic only 148 published cases were found. Tumors more frequently spreading to temporal bone, in decreasing order of development, are those of the breast, lungs, kidney, stomach and prostate. Clinically these metastases become manifest by hypoacusy, buzzing ears, body unbalance, vertigo and facial palsy. The prognosis of these disorders are related to the serverity of the systemic disease.

Otomycosis is a pathology relatively common in the auditory external canal, which incidence varies between 6-9% of external otitis cases. In the paper are presented the outcome of a prospective study comparing 3 antimycotic drugs (iodine-Povidone, Chlortrimazol and Ciclopiroxolamine) as well as some epidemiologic items (etiology, predisposition, clinical features) prevailing in the conurbation of Barcelona.
