“…The pathology of ET tumors varies, and more than five reports each have described for teratoma, 2 dermoid tumors, 3 melanin-pigmented oncocytic metaplasia, 4 and chondroma 5 as benign tumors and also melanoma, 6 squamous and/or transitional cell carcinoma 7,8 as malignant tumors. However an osseous pathology is quite rare, and to our knowledge, only one case of osteoma has been reported at the tympanic orifice of the ET; 9 hamartoma with an osseous content has not been reported previously. Here we described the first reported case of osseous hamartoma arising from the ET, causing otitis media and nasal obstruction as a result of expansion into the nasopharynx.…”

A fairly quite rare case of osseous tumor arising from the Eustachian tube (ET) is described. A 56-year-old man presented with a smooth bulky mass in the nasopharynx and secretory otitis media in the right ear. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging indicated a solid tumor-like region occupying the nasopharynx with apparent extension to the right ET. Transnasal endoscopic surgery demonstrated that the tumor had originated from the ET, and the tumor was partially removed in the area where it had expanded into the nasopharynx. The pathological diagnosis was an osseous hamartoma consisting of bony tissue, fat cells and fibroblasts. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of osseous hamartoma arising from the ET in the world literature. The patient presented symptoms of nasal obstruction and unilateral aural fullness. Reduction surgery and tympanostomy tube insertion were useful for accurate diagnosis and resolution of the symptoms.

“…They affected three males with a mean age of 55 (range 44-68) years. Four single cases of different benign ET pathology have been also included (online only Table 7) [76][77][78][79]. The entire spectrum of primary pathology of ET is summarized in the Tables (Tables 1, 2, 3, 4).…”

Eustachian tube (ET) primary tumors and tumor-like lesions are rare diseases presenting with common ear, nose and throat symptoms. Pathology can range from developmental anomalies to high malignant neoplasms. Hence this review aimed at suggesting a classification and outline relevant aspects of ET primary tumors and tumor-like lesions, describing clinical findings, diagnostic management and therapeutic approaches. MEDLINE, CINAHL, OVIDSP, HIGHWIRE, and GOOGLE databases were searched from inception to July 2011 for relevant studies. Further papers were identified by examining the reference lists of all included. Sixty-five papers met the inclusion criteria, enclosing 78 cases. Case reports are increasing in the past few years. Benign lesions and tumor-like lesions of ET have been reported. Moreover, melanomas, carcinomas, and sarcomas can affect the ET as a primary site.

“…El osteoma aislado de la trompa de Eustaquio es una entidad extremadamente rara, la cual produce disfunción de la trompa [6]. Esta disfunción conlleva a que por retracción de la membrana timpánica se pueda fijar la cadena osicular, lo cual produce hipoacusia, síntoma inicial según la literatura en osteomas que afecten el oído medio, presentándose esta en un 72% de los pacientes con osteoma en el oído medio [1,5]. La obstrucción mecánica que produce el osteoma impidiendo el adecuado drenaje del oído medio puede producir otitis medias a repetición.…”

“…En la literatura mundial el osteoma aislado de la trompa de Eustaquio es extremadamente raro, encontrando únicamente tres casos reportados. El primero descrito por Hildya.rd y Compere en 1959, otro descrito en 1979 y otro reportado en 2020 [1,4,5].…”
