“…What were originally thought to be independent entities, middle ear adenoma and middle ear carcinoid appear to be different stages of differentiation of the same tumor, as it possesses both epithelial and neuroendocrine differentiation. 1,2 Numerous reports have described local recurrence and regional cervical lymphatic metastasis. Interestingly, only one report of distant visceral metastasis exists in the literature.…”

Middle ear carcinoid is a rare entity with an indolent clinical course. Numerous reports have described local recurrence and metastasis to the cervical lymph nodes, although only one report of distant visceral metastasis exists in the literature. We describe the potential for osseous metastasis. A 52-year-old male with previous middle ear carcinoid (resected 10 years prior) presented with a neck mass. Subsequent workup revealed a suspicious lytic lesion of the iliac crest. Selective neck dissection and core biopsy of the iliac lesion were performed, which revealed concurrent histologically identical metastasis to both the cervical lymph nodes and iliac crest, morphologically indistinguishable from the previous middle ear carcinoid. This case presents the novel description of distant osseous metastasis of middle ear carcinoid.

“…MRI was performed for patients who were suspected of having a malignant tumor. The MRI findings showed higher signal of tumor than the white matter in the T1 sequence, the same signal as the gray matter in the T2 sequence, and an enhancing mass in the gadoliniumenhanced T1 sequence [6] . We reported a case of middle ear adenoma in 31 years old male patient.…”

Several conditions are known to present as masses in the middle ear medial to an intact tympanic membrane. Reddish masses that blanch on seigelization are usually paragangliomas. Sometimes, a high rising jugular bulb or an aberrant carotid artery can also be seen. Whitish masses are usually congenital cholesteatomas, tympanosclerosis, cartilage grafts that have been surgically placed, and rarely middle ear adenomas (MEA). An elderly male presented with decreased hearing, which was revealed to be secondary to a pale mass in the middle ear, displacing the intact tympanic membrane laterally. He underwent biopsy followed by complete excision of the mass, with preservation of the intact ossicular chain. There no evidence of recurrence on follow-up. Histopathology revealed the mass to be a MEA, also known as middle ear neuroendocrine tumour (MeNET). Middle ear neuroendocrine tumours are rare tumours. We describe the clinical presentation and management of this tumour.
