Abstract:

Nine patients with persistent middle ear effusion and allergy confirmed by skin testing were evaluated for eosinophils by histochemical staining of middle ear mucosal biopsy specimens for eosinophil cationic protein. The study was designed to determine whether eosinophils were present in the middle ear mucosa of these patients and whether the elevated levels of eosinophil cationic protein reported in effusion from patients with chronic otitis media with effusion and allergy might originate within the mucosa itself. Seven of nine patients with otitis media with effusion had eosinophil cationic

Abstract:

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal prion disease affecting cervids (deer, elk, moose). Current methods to monitor individual disease state include highly invasive antemortem rectal biopsy or postmortem brain biopsy. Efficient, sensitive, and selective antemortem and postmortem testing of populations would increase knowledge of the dynamics of CWD epizootics as well as provide a means to track CWD progression into previously unaffected areas. Here, we analyzed the presence of CWD prions in skin samples from two easily accessed locations (ear and belly) from 30 deceased white-tailed deer (

<p class="abstract">The malignancies of tympanomastoid region are very rare entity. These tumours are more common in elderly persons in 6th and 7th decade. Males are more commonly affected than females. Chronically discharging ears are considered as risk factor which may be due to metaplasia in the middle ear mucosa following prolonged chronic infection. The most common symptoms are long standing blood tinged ear discharge, severe nocturnal pain, rapidly growing polypoidal or granulomatous mass in EAC or middle ear, peripheral facial palsy and painless ulceration over pinna or EAC.

AbstractWe report a rare case of primary B-cell lymphoma presenting as bilateral ear lobule swelling. A 56-year-old white man presented with a one-year history of painless swelling of both ear lobules. An excision biopsy confirmed B-cell lymphoma. Detailed systemic investigation confirmed the primary nature of the tumour. This tumour is rare in the ear lobule. A review of the English literature revealed no previously reported case of bilateral primary ear lobule involvement. Clinicians should be aware that this tumour can present as a primary in the ear lobules.

Abstract:

In the clinical setting, the pathophysiology of sensorineural hearing loss is poorly defined and there are currently no diagnostic tests available to differentiate between subtypes. This often leaves patients with generalized treatment options such as steroids, hearing aids, or cochlear implantation. The gold standard for localizing disease is direct biopsy or imaging of the affected tissue; however, the inaccessibility and fragility of the cochlea make these techniques difficult. Thus, the establishment of an indirect biopsy, a sampling of inner fluids, is needed to advance inner ear diagnost

Abstract:

A 60-year-old woman presented with pulsatile tinnitus in the left ear. MRI and CT imaging suggested a soft-tissue mass in the middle ear. Exploratory tympanotomy and biopsy confirmed Schneiderian (inverted) papilloma. Endoscopic and radiological assessment showed no evidence of sinonasal lesions. The patient proceeded to mastoid surgery with removal of the ossicles for disease clearance. The small number of cases published to date of isolated middle ear inverted papilloma suggest a high recurrence and malignant transformation rate and aggressive management is therefore warranted.

AbstractCholesteatomas can originate at various sites on the temporal bone, which houses the middle ear among other structures. Distinction is made between three types of cholesteatoma: auditory canal, middle ear, and petrous apex. The most frequent type, middle ear cholesteatoma, can be subdivided into a congenital and an acquired form. A number of theories on the aetiology of this aggressive form of middle ear inflammation have been put forward and, in some cases, dismissed again.We investigated the role of bacterial infection as a trigger in the development of cholesteatomas.

Abstract:

Agenesis of the cervical portion of the internal carotid artery (ICA) may result in blood supply to the ipsilateral cerebral hemisphere being provided by an enlarged inferior tympanic branch of the ascending pharyngeal artery. This enlarged vessel, passing through Jacobson's canal and anastomosing with the likewise enlarged caroticotympanic branch of the ICA in front of the promontorium, may simulate a middle ear mass. We present five patients with this unusual anatomical variant, three of which underwent biopsy of what was believed to be a middle ear tumour. One patient experienced rupture of

Abstract:

Immune-mediated inner-ear disease includes clinical conditions associated with unilateral or bilateral rapidly progressive forms of sensorineural hearing loss. A systemic autoimmune disorder can be present in less than one-third of cases. Because of the lack of well defined detection methods to identify immune-mediated processes within the inner ear, and the fact that the human inner ear is not amenable to diagnostic biopsy, there has been great interest in developing animal models. Experimental models of sterile and virus-induced labyrinthitis support the participation of the immune system in

Abstract:

Schwannoma is slow-growing, benign neurogenic tumor arising from schwann cells and rarely occurs in the middle ear cavity. The origins of primary schwannoma in the middle ear are the facial nerve, chorda tympanic nerve, and Jacobson’s nerve. Only a few cases have been reported of sympa-thetic plexus of the internal carotid nerve as the origin of primary schwannoma. We present a case of a 62-year-old male patient who have had recurrent otitis media for 20 years and accompanied by pus like discharge, otalgia, and hearing loss. On otologic examination, we found whitish mass in the middle ear cavi

Abstract:

BACKGROUND Leprosy is an infectious disease that is still a health problem worldwide, including in Indonesia. The clinical symptoms are similar to other skin diseases and it is difficult to establish a diagnosis for paucibacillary (PB) leprosy. Current serological and histopathological tests have limitations, especially in patients with negative acid-fast bacilli (AFB). Serological tests often give false-negative results, while histopathological results often consist of non-specific inflammation. Probe-based real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays is an alternative test that may be

Abstract:

We report a case of a young woman with an aberrant right internal carotid artery (ICA) presenting as a retrotympanic reddish mass. This variant of the ICA represents the collateral pathway that is formed as a result of an embryological agenesis of the cervical segment of the ICA. The embryonic inferior tympanic artery is recruited to bypass the absent carotid segment. This hypertrophied vessel may be seen otoscopically and wrongfully considered to be a vascular middle ear tumor. Informing the otorhinolaryngologist of this important vascular variant not only obviates biopsy but also helps in ca

Abstract:

Neuroendocrine adenomas of the middle ear are rare tumors that represent less than 2% of primary tumors of the ear. In this paper, we describe a case of a 40-year-old woman who developed neuroendocrine adenoma of the middle ear. The specific management strategy for this rare tumor is unclear; information in the available literature on the management of this tumor is varied. However, an extensive demolition seems to be the gold standard treatment for this tumor to avoid recurrence and regional metastases in the lymph node or distant metastases. For the present case, we performed an incisional b

A deep shave biopsy was performed and the histological findings demonstrated pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia overlying large dermal deposits of pink, hyalinized feathery material surrounded by mild granulomatous inflammation. This finding supported the diagnosis of tophaceous gout rather than the clinical findings imitating squamous cell carcinom

The lesion had inflammatory characteristics, which led initially to a histological diagnosis of an inflammatory process. Two months later, a second biopsy diagnosed eosinophil-rich variant of ALCL.
