RESUMO
Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 79 años que presentaba una tumoración subglótica cuyo análisis anatomopatológico dio diagnóstico de linfoma tipo MALT. Tras descartar diseminación de la enfermedad se administró tratamiento radioterápico, con evidencia de remisión de la enfermedad. El interés de este trabajo estriba en la escasez y rareza de los linfomas laríngeos, y en especial del linfoma tipo MALT de localización subglótica. Hacemos una revisión bibliográfica sobre el tema, exponiendo las pautas diagnósticas a seguir y el tratamiento de elección según su estado de evolución (AU)
We report a case of a 79-year-old woman presenting subglottic tumor whose hystopathological study was MALT-type lymphoma. After excluding the possibility of systemic dissemination, local radiotherapy treatment was applied. The interest of this study lies in the rare involvement of haematopoietic neoplasms in the larynx, especially the MALT-type in subglottic location. We review the literature on this subject, exposing the clinical, therapeutical and follow up data in respect to the initial location of the lymphoma (AU)

Neck liposarcoma is an infrequent tumor in the head and neck area. A case in a 70 years male is reported with a presentation the in inferior third of the lateral neck region. Two previous surgical procedures and Radiotherapy (50 Gy) were carried out. A modified radical dissection was performed. No metastatic nodes were found. A revision of the literature is done with special remarks on prognostic factors; histology and surgical treatment with wide margins are favourable factors.

The AA. present a case of disseminated primitive melanoma of the rhinopharynx. The main difficulty was to establish the differential diagnosis, owing to the rarity of this tumor's type in such a sitting. The patient showed intracranial metastases which took him to death in a short term.
