Ocular hypertelorism was introduced by Greig as an increased interpupillary distance. The paranasal sinus mucoceles are acquired lesions for various reasons; however, their behavior is progressive, capable of eroding the bone and extending to the orbital and intracranial regions. The objective is to present a clinical case of orbital hypertelorism secondary to mucocele in the paranasal sinuses. This is a 72-year-old male patient who came presenting an increase in volume in the right nasoorbitoethmoidal region. The isodense lesion occupying the maxillary and right ethmoidal sinuses was confirmed by an intimate relationship with the ipsilateral frontal and sphenoidal sinus, with osteolytic involvement of the orbit and nasal region. After incisional biopsy with mucocele results, a wide resection plus facial reconstruction was performed with autologous grafts and osteosynthesis material. Currently, the patient has 1 year of evolution, without significant functional commitment. It is important to consider giant mucoceles as part of the differential diagnoses in patients with deformities in the middle and upper third of the face.

More bladder cancers are diagnosed along this time, more of them are infiltrating, in an aging population and from a rural precedence although a slightly decrease in the overall population in this are has been documented.

Se presenta el caso de un paciente con úlcera labial cuya apariencia clínica simula un carcinoma escamoso. Sin embargo, una correcta historia clínica y la realización de pruebas complementarias conducen al diagnóstico primario de infección por Treponema pallidum y secundario de seropositividad para VIH. Tras el diagnóstico serológico el tratamiento antibiótico es efectivo para la sífilis. Concluimos que ante una lesión labial de aspecto ulceroso debe contemplarse un diagnóstico diferencial que incluya el chancro sifilítico y realizar, en el caso de que se confirme, las pruebas complementarias necesarias para descartar infección concomitante por VIH.
