Abstract
|
|
|
A benign fibrous histiocytoma is a tumor with fibroblastic and histiocytic differentiation, most commonly found in soft tissues or adult bones. Its occurrence in the ear is, however, extremely rare, and there hasn¡¯t been any report on the case originating from the middle ear. We experienced a case of 37-year old male patient who complained of intermittent otorrhea and hearing loss. The patient had an 1¡¿1 cm-sized mass in the right mastoid antrum in the temporal bone CT. Under the impression of cholesteatoma or benign tumor, a mass removal was done. A histopathologic investigation of the resected tumor showed typical features of benign fibrous histiocytoma. We herein report along with a brief literature review a case of benign fibrous histiocytoma arising in the mastoid antrum.
