Salivary gland choristoma of the middle ear
R. E. Mischke, D. E. Brackmann and P. Gruskin
We discuss the eighth reported case of a benign salivary gland tumor in the
middle ear. The lesion was a smooth lobulated mass and was found to be
intimately associated with the tympanic portion of the facial nerve.
Recommended treatment is biopsy without attempting removal. This concept of
management is supported by a report of a similar case with a 15-year
follow-up.
