“…However, Buen et al suggested aggressive treatment, including the possibility of ossicle removal. 10 In conclusion, for all cases of well-restricted middle ear tumors surrounding the ossicle, radical resection should be performed with the removal of ossicles.…”

Preoperative Diagnosis and Treatment of Middle Ear Adenoma: A Case Report and Literature Review

Most reported cases of middle ear adenoma (MEA) have focused on histopathology because MEA is usually diagnosed postoperatively, which is considered as a major setback. We focused on the surgical aspect of the disease to facilitate a preoperative diagnosis, resulting in prompt and proper treatment, without requiring a second stage of surgical treatment. In this report, we present the differential diagnoses in a 40-year-old man with MEA requiring surgical treatment. Preoperatively, the patient was suspected to have an MEA. An analysis of the surgical procedures in similar misdiagnosed tumors has enabled us to assess surgical procedures in cases wherein the preoperative diagnosis does not coincide with the postoperative histopathological results.

“…The differential diagnosis should include fat-containing lesions, such as lipomas, hamartomas, and other masses of the teratoma families. Lipoma is a common benign tumour composed of mature adipocytes enclosed by a fibrous capsule and is exceedingly rare in the middle ear [ 19 ]. Although the imaging features of middle ear lipomas are not described in the literature, they should have the same imaging features as lipomas anywhere, with clear borders and homogeneous fat density/intensity.…”

Background: Teratoma is a true neoplasm composed of a number of different types of tissue derived from the three germinal layers but rarely occurs in the middle ear (ME). The features of middle ear teratomas (MET) have not been well described. Objective: The objective of this study is to explore the clinical and imaging features of MET, and report 2 rare cases of MET with ear malformation that have never been reported. Materials and methods: The clinical, CT and MRI data of 8 patients with a pathological diagnosis of MET were collected and retrospectively mined, and 14 patients with MET reported in previous literature were also reviewed. Result: ① Female, left ear predominance in MET, and the most common symptoms were otorrhea and hearing loss. ② On CT and MRI, the MET presented as an irregular soft tissue mass that was heterogeneous, with fatty tissue and involved multiple sites, and the ET and tympanum were correspondingly expanded and locally destroyed. ③ Mictotia with MET in two patients was presented, which was the first report. Conclusion: MET has female sex and left ear predominance. CT and MRI can be used to diagnose MET and display its extent and its relationship to the carotid canal in detail. Complete surgical excision is the definitive treatment.
