<p class="abstract">We report a 62-year-old woman with primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) of the ear. The patient presented with facial palsy, left ear hearing loss and a mass in the left external auditory canal. CT and MRI showed an occupied external auditory canal, middle ear and temporal bone with extensive intracranial invasion, R-CHOP therapy was started, but she died after one course. Primary lymphoma of the ear is extremely rare and to the best of our knowledge this is the first case reported in a Mexican medical center, and also the first overall with such an extensive invasion.</p>

The nasal tip abscess is a rare pathology that affects the soft tissue of the nasal tip, with risk of damaging the cartilaginous framework with the resulting alteration of the anatomy and function of the nose, if not treated properly. Epidemiologic features have not been extensively characterized in the international literature because of its low incidence. Case report: We present a case report of a nasal abscess secondary to furunculosis in a patient with long evolution and uncontrolled type 2 diabetes presented as nasal swelling with erythema that did not respond to oral antibiotics. Treatment consisting of topic and systemic antibiotic therapy, as well as surgical drainage, which requires ample knowledge of nasal tip anatomy, was used. Conclusion: In our case, resolution was achieved without sequels or scarring.
