Abstract:
Lipoma is a common benign tumor found at various sites in the body, but it is rarely encountered in the middle ear. We report a case of a 5-month-old girl who presented a middle ear lipoma, which was successfully removed by canal wall up mastoidectomy. To the best our knowledge, this is the youngest case of rare middle ear lipoma, which has ever been reported in the literature.
