Objective:
To return particular aspects of the benign lymphoid pseudotumor of the cavum.
Material And Method:
It is about a prospective survey on 7 years achieved in the ENT services of university hospital of Treichville (1994-1995) and of Bouaké (1996-2001). Five cases have been kept.
Results:
There were 4 women and 1 man aged between 26 years and 47 years. The main reason of consultation was the hypoacousia and the nasal obstruction. A cavum tumor was founded will all the patients during cavoscopy. The tympanometry confirmed the diagnosis of otitis media with effusion. The histological operative piece exam noted a lymphoid hyperplasia. HIV serology was positive in 4 cases and negative in 1 case. The treatment consisted in surgical removal of the tumor in 1 case and in 4 cases it was associated with the grommet insertion. Three of the 4 HIV-positive patients received antiviral treatment. The evolution was good with all the patients.
