[Cervical myositis ossificans. A case report]. / Miositis osificante cervical. A propósito de un caso clínico.

This is the case of a middle-aged male with a slow growing lateral cervcal painful tumour, and without previous history of local trauma. Radiological testing reveals an ossifying soft tissue lesion without any osseous compromise. The lesion is completely resected, and the histological result is of ossifying myositis. It is an osseous tumour non neoplastic that originates within muscle and in particular the flexors of the inferior extremities and thigs or in the soft tissues. The incidence within the head and neck region is low (20%). There is an hereditary progressive form, Munchmeyer's disease, and another circumscribed, which can be subdivided in traumatic or atraumatic.

Miositis osificante cervical. A propósito de un caso clínico / Cervical myositis ossificans. A case report

Se presenta el caso clínico de un paciente varón de mediana edad con una tumoración laterocervical dolorosa y de crecimiento lento, y sin antecedentes de traumatismos sobre la zona. Las pruebas de imagen constatan que se trata de una lesión de partes blandas osificada, descartándose afectación ósea. Se practica la exéresis quirúrgica completa y el resultado histológico es de miositis osificante (MO). Se trata de una neoformación ósea no neoplásica que se origina en los músculos y en particular los flexores de los miembros superiores y muslos o en el tejido celular subcutáneo. La incidencia en la región de la cabeza y cuello es baja (20%). Existe una forma progresiva y hereditaria, la enfermedad de Munchmeyer, y otra circunscrita, que se subclasifica en traumática o atraumática

A propósito de un caso: linfoma no Hodgkin de hipofaringe en paciente con infección por VIH. Remisión sin tratamiento específico para el linfoma / Report of a case: non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the hypopharynx in a patient with HIV infection. Remission without lymphoma-specific treatment

Los linfomas no Hodgkin (LNH) son comunes en pacientes con infección por Virus de la Inmunodeficiencia Humana (VIH), pero es raro que aparezcan como linfomas primarios de laringe o hipofaringe. Presentamos el caso de un paciente al que se diagnosticó un LNH de alto grado a través de una biopsia de una lesión primaria de seno piriforme, tomada por laparoscopia directa. Simultáneamente se le diagnosticó de infección por VIH. El interés de este trabajo reside en la remisión completa del linfoma al instaurar sólo la terapia específica frente al VIH (AU)

Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) are common in HIV patients, although it is rare for primary lymphomas to develop in the larynx or hypopharynx. We present the case of a patient that was diagnosed of a high degree NHL, following a biopsy of the piriform sinus' lesion, taker by direct laryngoscopy. Simultaneously he was diagnosed as HIV. The interest of this paper is the total remission of the lymphoma seen after specific HIV treatment only (AU)
