Abstract
Abstract
Neuroendocrine tumors are extremely rare in the middle ear. These tumors represent a spectrum of tumors with a diverse range of molecular abnormalities, functionality and anatomical locations. We present a rare case of middle ear neuroendocrine tumor, review the pathology and differential diagnosis of the tumors, and discuss the management and follow-up of patients with these tumors. We suspect that the middle ear neuroendocrine tumor is underdiagnosed and more cases can be detected through education and personal experience. Treatment is surgical resection, and long follow-up is recommended.
