Abstract

Introduction:Chronic otitis media is a significant health problem, but middle ear and mastoid neoplasms, either benign or malignant, are extremely rare.Case Report:Here is a report from a 51-year-old female who presented persistent otorrhea with an aural polyp. The patient was operated on with the probable diagnosis of cholesteatoma. During surgery, a fragile mass was discovered, and histopathologic examination reported the diagnosis of a primary oncocytic Schneiderian papilloma. Microscopically it has pseudostratified epithelium of columnar cell epithelium with eosinophilic granular cytoplasm and hyperchromatic nuclei. The treatment of choice for Schneiderian papillomas is complete surgical removal.Conclusions:Although very rare, oncocytic Schneiderian papilloma should be considered a differential diagnosis of ear neoplasms such as auditory canal polyps.
