  • Title: Asymptomatic osteomas of the middle ear.
    Author: Silver FM, Orobello PW, Mangal A, Pensak ML.
    Journal: Am J Otol; 1993 Mar; 14(2):189-90. PubMed ID: 8503496.
    Abstract:
    Osteomas of the middle ear are extremely rare lesions. Of the nine cases reported, eight presented with conductive hearing loss. We recently treated two patients whose osteomas, of the promontory and of the posteroinferior tympanic wall, were asymptomatic. We suggest that middle ear osteomas need not be removed when they do not impinge on the sound conduction system.
