We present the case of a 53-year-old female patient who presented with one-year history of mixed frequency tinnitus of the left ear and sudden development of unilateral deafness. She received treatment with oral steroids plus intratympanic infiltrations. Imaging studies using CT-Scan and MRI disclosed a solid tumor of well-defined borders in the union of the petrosal and squamous portions of the left temporal bone. A mastoidectomy was performed, the anatomopathological studies revealed a xanthoma of the temporal bone. A literature review was performed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We present the case of a 49-year-old female patient attending the otorhinolaryngology service with a 3-month history of pain and neck rigidity plus instability. A contrast MRI of the posterior fossa revealed a nodular lesion in the nasopharynx compatible with a Thornwaldt cyst. A nasal endoscopy confirmed the diagnosis. Excision of the cyst under trans nasal endoscopy was performed. Instability persisted but neck pain and neck rigidity improved. We carried-out a literature review. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We present the case of a 36-year-old woman who developed during the fourth month of her first pregnancy a lesion of the right nose following an acute viral rhinitis. Due to constant manipulation and recurrent erosions the lesion evolved to a tumor that protruded the nostril and obstructed the airway. The lesion was removed two months after delivery and the pathological diagnosis revealed a nasal lobular capillary hemangioma. Due to the rare presentation of this entity, we performed a literature review. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
