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::Design: Case Report.
Setting: Tertiary Private Hospital.
Patient: One.
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
