Objectives: To describe the features of an oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal myxoma.Materials and methods: Case report of a 34-year-old patient operated upon for a dual-location tumour, and review of the literature.Results: The myxoma is a rare tumour. Various head and neck locations have been described, but not (to our knowledge) a tumour in both the oropharynx and the hypopharynx. Multiple synchronous locations must be searched for, particularly regarding cardiac myxoma.Conclusion: The myxoma is a rare, benign tumour, even rarer in the head and neck. Surgical treatment must be complete in order to avoid recurrences, and should be performed after assessment for cardiac involvement.

Ovarian adenofibroma is a rare benign tumour originating from the germinal lining and stroma of the ovary. We describe here the case of a 36-year-old woman with an ovarian mucinous cystadenofibroma that was diagnosed as a benign cystic mass of the ovary before surgery. The tumour was a cystic lesion composed of 2 regions: one filled with mucinous fluid and the other with yellowish solid components. The patient successfully underwent a left oophorectomy.
