Summary

Endolymphatic sac tumors (ELSTs) are invasive tumors. Preserving hearing during surgery for ELST is possible if the labyrinth is not invaded.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Endolymphatic sac tumors (ELSTs) are rare, locally invasive, osteolytic, and hypervascular tumors.
  • Surgical management of ELSTs requires careful consideration of potential hearing preservation.

Observation:

  • This study summarizes three cases of ELST, detailing their clinical presentation and surgical treatment.
  • Otorhinolaryngological examinations, including audiologic, vestibular, and neurologic evaluations, were performed.
  • CT and MRI scans were utilized for preoperative assessment and postoperative follow-up.

Findings:

  • Histopathologic examinations confirmed ELST features in all cases.
  • Patients underwent radical tumor removal via a transmastoid approach with postoperative radiotherapy.

  • In two cases, the labyrinth and facial nerve structures were preserved, resulting in good hearing and facial nerve function postoperatively.
  • No residual or recurrent tumors were detected on postoperative MRI.

    • Implications:

    • Surgical intervention for ELSTs can achieve tumor removal while preserving hearing and facial nerve function.
    • Early detection and tailored surgical approaches are crucial for optimal patient outcomes.
    • Further research into the surgical management of ELSTs can refine treatment strategies.
