The discovery of a new Wolf-Rayet and two extreme Of stars located on the western edge of the 30 Doradus complex in the Large Magellanic Cloud is reported. The Wolf-Rayet star has a WN 3 + OB spectral type whereas the two other objects are of Of/WN composite type. They were detected using CCD exposures through interference filters and confirmed by subsequent spectroscopic observations. The WN 3 star and one of the Of/WN objects are located in a tight stellar cluster in the OB association LH 90. The same cluster also contains Brey 65. The other Of/WN object is an isolated star in the OB association LH 99.
