“…To our knowledge, only one multiple middle ear osteomas has been reported in the English literature [2]. In the current report, the osteomas were firmly attached to the promontory, the Eustachian tube, the semicanal of tensor tympani muscle, and the long crus of incus.…”

Since the first description of middle ear osteomas by Thomas in 1964, only few reports were published within the English literatures (Greinwalid et al., 1998; Shimizu et al., 2003; Cho et al., 2005; and Jang et al., 2009), and only one case of the multiple osteomas in middle ear was described by Kim et al., 2006, which arose from the promontory, lateral semicircular canal, and epitympanum. Here we describe a patient with multiple middle ear osteomas arising from the promontory, incus, Eustachian tube, and bony semicanal of tensor tympani muscle. This patient also contracted the chronic otitis media in the ipsilateral ear. The osteomas were successfully removed by performing type III tympanoplasty in one stage.

“…In most cases, the diagnoses were confirmed by CT scan or visual inspection in surgical exploration. The lesion would appear as a well circumscribed mass with soft tissue density, egg-shell like density or bone density in CT scan [7]. In our case, the main clinical sign was unilateral conductive hearing loss.…”

Objective: To discuss the surgical treatment of recurrent osteoma of the mastoid process of the temporal bone, that obstructed external auditory canal causing unilateral conductive hearing loss. Setting: The study was carried out in ENT Clinic, University Clinical Center of Kosovo, Prishtina, Kosovo. Design: Retrospective review of a clinical case. Patient, Intervention and Result: We treated surgically with success a 14-year-old boy with osteoma of mastoid process, obstructing the external auditory canal of the left ear and causing conductive hearing loss. Axial and coronal computed tomography scans revealed an compact bone lesion that obstructed the canal. Complete removal of the lesion was achieved by a retroauricular approach. Conclusion: In order to achieve complete removal of the osteoma, drilling of the lesion must be performed not through the tumor, but around the osteoma, in the surrounding bone tissue

“…Rarely, it can involve the petrous part of the temporal bone with involvement of the facial nerve and part of the internal ear that leads to hearing loss as a complication. [7][8][9] On radiological examination, the plain radiograph of skull lateral view shows round to oval dense radiopacity with dense calcification noted in the mastoid bone with preserved diploe. [10,11] Noncontrast computed tomography is the modality of choice for the diagnosis of mastoid osteoma.…”
