[Primary sarcoma of the middle ear. Apropos of 3 cases]

Authors present three cases: one hemangiosarcoma, one reticulum-cell sarcoma and one rhabdomyosarcoma of the middle ear. Histopathology slides were reviewed, as well as the Western medical literature the authors could obtain on the subject. The rare frequency of these neoplasms in the middle ear was made evident. Aspects relative to diagnosis and treatment were discussed. Long term prognosis remains unfavourable.
