Abstract

Primary temporal bone meningioma of the middle ear is relatively rare in clinical practice. It is difficult to distinguish it from otitis media with effusion or chronic otitis media owing to its similar clinical presentation. We report the case of a 73-year-old temporal bone meningioma extending to the middle ear as well as involving the external auditory canal. High-resolution computed tomography revealed the possibility of left chronic otomastoiditis. After debulking and biopsy, it turned out to be an extracranial meningioma.
