Abstract:
Benign vascular lesions are rarely found on the tympanic membrane. To date, only 21 cases restricted to tympanic membrane and/or external auditory canal have been reported, and all cases are hemangioma. We recently experienced a case of a vascular lesion arising from the atrophic tympanic membrane, which did not respond to initial CO2 laser therapy. Subsequent surgical excision of the vascular lesion was successfully performed. The clinical manifestations and management of benign vascular lesion of tympanic membrane are discussed with a review of literature.
