Cavernous hemangioma of the incus (an incidental finding)
1Department of Otolaryngology, University of Toronto, Toronto General Hospital, Ontario, Canada.
Abstract:
The incidental discovery of a cavernous hemangioma in an apparently normal incus found during pathological examination is reported. The incus had been removed during the course of a total osseous labyrinthectomy for delayed endolymphatic hydrops (DEH), and this unexpected finding noted. Although rare, hemangiomatous involvement of the temporal bone does occur and its manifestations are discussed. To date there have been no other reports of a hemangioma involving the incus solely.
