A rare middle ear adenoma (MEA) case is presented, causing recurrent ear pain and hearing loss without infection. Imaging revealed a contrast-enhancing mass, typical for MEA, without bone destruction.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Recurrent ear pain and hearing loss can indicate various middle ear pathologies.
  • Differentiating neoplastic from infectious or inflammatory conditions is crucial for appropriate management.

Observation:

  • A 47-year-old female presented with a year of right-sided ear pain and subsequent hearing loss.
  • CT scans revealed a progressively enlarging, contrast-enhancing mass in the middle ear and mastoid.
  • The lesion showed typical Middle Ear Adenoma (MEA) characteristics, including intact bone structure.

Findings:

  • The Middle Ear Adenoma (MEA) presented as a hyperdense tissue formation.
  • The lesion caused fluid retention in the mastoid and middle ear cleft.
  • Contrast-enhanced CT and T2-weighted MRI demonstrated brain-like signal intensity, characteristic of MEA.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of advanced imaging in diagnosing non-infectious middle ear masses.
  • Early detection and surgical intervention (exenteration) are key for managing MEA.
  • Understanding MEA's imaging features aids in distinguishing it from other middle ear pathologies.
