Abstract

Here, we present a rare case of middle ear adenoma in a 58-year-old female, which uniquely presented as an unstable open cavity after an endaural atticoantrotomy. Immunohistochemistry confirmed that the tumor produced endocrine and exocrine secretions. The tumor was radically surgically removed.

Keywords: adenoma; carcinoid; middle ear; neuroendocrine tumor.
