Abstract

|
|
|
Fibrous hamartoma of infancy in the middle ear is extremely rare. We report the case of a 26-month-old male patient who presented with a mass in the left middle ear. A temporal bone CT scan showed complete opacification of the left middle ear and mastoid air cells without ossicular erosion. On MRI, the mass revealed heterogeneous signal intensities indicative of fat and fibrous components. A definitive diagnosis was made postoperatively based on the histological results. Although rare, fibrous hamartoma of infancy should be considered as a differential diagnosis of a middle ear mass during childhood.
