Abstract
Abstract
Background
Middle ear tumors are a rare group of neoplasia due to their location. In this study, we analyzed our archives of the Department of Pathology for the middle ear tumor cases diagnosed between 2010 and 2019.
Results
Within the mentioned period, 591 cases were operated on for middle ear tumors. Eleven of these cases were diagnosed as middle ear tumors other than cholesteatoma. Considering the distribution of the cases according to histopathological diagnoses, 5 (45.4%) paragangliomas, 4 (36.3%) schwannomas, and 2 (18.2%) meningiomas were detected. No recurrence was observed in the clinical follow-up of the patients after excision.
Conclusions
Although tumors located in the middle ear, which generally cause similar clinical complaints, are rarely seen, the tissue should be evaluated histopathologically because it will affect the treatment and prognosis of the patients.
