“…Hemangiomas or angioendotheliomas are benign vascular tumors; they represent less than 0, 21% of all temporal bone tumors [1]. The temporal bone's hamngiomas have a predilection in three sites, which are by decreasing order of frequency, the geniculate ganglion, the internal auditory meatus, and the origin of the chorda tymapni [2, 3], we can explain this predilection by the vascular abundance in these sites [3, 4].…”

Hemangiomas are rare benign vascular tumors; there are several types including the capillary hemangiomas, we present the case of an exceptional localization of capillary hemangioma in the middle ear. We report the case of a 60-year-old female which consults for episodes of pulsatile tinnitus, otorragies, and hearing loss of the left ear. The clinical examination revealed a reddish polypoid mass in the left external auditory canal, the radiological tests showed a vascular mass in the middle left ear. The tumor was surgically removed, the histological study revealed a capillary hemangioma. The incidence of hemangiomas in the temporal bone, especially in the middle ear, is exceptional. Medical imaging guides to the vascular nature of these tumors that make confusion with other vascular tumors such as tympanic paragangliomas. The management is often surgical and the final diagnosis is histological.

“…Kostrzewa et al described the use of CO 2 laser-assisted excision of tumour which reduced the risk of bleeding and allowed better visualisation [15]. Pavamani et al reported the first time use of radiotherapy as the primary treatment of an inoperable capillary haemangioma of external and middle ear with a 5 years recurrence-free period [16]. Recent, propranol has been used extensively in treating haemangiomas in other body regions.…”

Haemangiomas are relatively common in the head and neck region, but cases in the temporal bone are rare. Hemangioma of the external auditory canal (EAC) is a rare otologic entity. Up till now (till 2013), only 18 cases of hemangioma EAC have been reported in the English literature. It is commonly classified as capillary or cavernous hemangioma. According to the literature, this case represents the fourth patient with capillary hemangioma of the EAC. A 22-year-old male presented to our department with a 3 years history of right-sided aural fullness, mild pain and decreased hearing. There was no history of ear discharge, pulsatile tinnitus, vertigo and local trauma. Otomicroscopic and otoendoscopic examination revealed a smooth surface, reddish pulsatile mass arising from the right postero-superior portion of bony canal wall, which measured about 1 cm in diameter, obstructing 2/3rd of the EAC. The tympanic membrane was not seen. No facial nerve dysfunction was observed. Patient had moderate conductive hearing loss in right ear on audiology. HRCT temporal bone showed soft tissue mass involving the right EAC and middle ear. The lesion was excised via a postaural approach under general anesthesia. The tumor was a reddish, soft mass and measured 1.6 9 1.7 9 2.8 cm. The histopathologic assessment indicated a capillary hemangioma.

“…In our case, the mass extended beyond ossicles to reach the attic and facial nerve canal. There are other solitary case reports of cavernous or capillary hemangiomas involving the middle ear and external ear canal [9][10][11][12].…”

Cavernous hemangioma involving the external canal, tympanic membrane, and middle ear cavity is extremely rare. We present a case of a 45-year-old woman who had progressive right sided decreased hearing, pulsatile tinnitus, and aural fullness of 7 months duration. Microscopic examination, imaging studies, surgical treatment, and histological evaluation are reported. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of cavernous hemangioma with simultaneous involvement of the external ear, tympanic membrane, middle ear, and attic reported in English literature.
