RESUMO
Neurofibroma is a rare pathology on the larynx. We distinguish two types of neurofibromas: plexiform and not plexiform in which the difference is at the cytoarchitectural level. The plexiform type is usually associated to the Von Recklinhausen disease, also know as neurofibromatosis type 1. They usually affect the supraglottic structure, and more frequently they are described in aritenoids, ariepiglottic folds, and posterior commissure. We present a case located at the glottic level of plexiform type, with a postsurgical follow-up of five years. We make a revision of the aethiopathogenesis, evolution and prognostic of these pathology in the bibliography.

Extramedullary plasmocytoma (EMP) is an infrequent entity characterized by the proliferation of malignant plasma cells which are generally found on the mucosa of the upper respiratory tract. A case of EMP located in the right maxillary sinus is referred. Peculiarities of the same were resistance to radiotherapy with local relapse and severe hyperkalemia. Despite deliberate searching, disease dissemination could not be demonstrated.
