Abstract

Objective: To present a rare case of inverted papilloma of the middle ear in a 77-year old man presenting with an external auditory canal polyp of the right ear.

Methods

                          Study Design:          Case Report

                          Setting:                     Tertiary Private Hospital

                          Patient:                    One (1)

Results:             A 77-year old man presenting with external auditory canal mass underwent tympanoplasty with canal wall down mastoidectomy. Histopathologic examination revealed inverted papilloma.

Conclusion: With only 30 cases reported in the literature, inverted papilloma of the middle ear is a rare disease entity that may mimic other benign conditions such as cholesteatoma. It requires further investigation to devise a rational approach to diagnosis and management. Regular post-operative monitoring is essential due to high recurrence and malignant transformation rate, while post-operative radiotherapy remains controversial and requires further investigation.
