Abstract
- Osteomas in the middle ear are very rare. To date, there are 23 cases of osteomas of the middle ear reported in the English literature. Of these, five osteomas arose from the ossicles, but those accompanied by cholesteatoma is extremly rare. There are only two cases that are all congenital cholesteatoma. Ossicular osteoma with primary acquired cholesteatoma has not been reported previously. We present a case of osteoma of the incus accompanied by primary acquired cholesteatoma, which was diagnosed incidentally in the middle ear.
