“…Choice of treatment was surgical removal in most of the cases. Galindo et al [7] reported a case of IMT that involved the lateral clivus and petrous bone. An infracochlear approach was adopted to open the petrous apex and successfully remove the lesion.…”

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour is a rare disorder of unknown aetiology first described in the lung. Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour of the middle ear accounts for only a small portion of this disease and tends to have a more aggressive and unpredictable course than the disease at other sites of the body. Fewer than 20 cases of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour of the middle ear have been reported in the English literature thus far. We present a case of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour in a 46-year-old man with unilateral hearing loss. Computed tomography (CT) imaging showed dehiscence of the promontory. Initial biopsy failed to diagnosis the disease, as in many other cases we reviewed. The mass was extensive and eroded several cortical bony structures. The patient underwent radical mastoidectomy and final pathology exam confirmed the diagnosis. We review the key radiological and histological results that should be considered for making a diagnosis of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour, and discuss the possible differential diagnosis. We also present a review of previously reported cases to help better understand the clinical entity of this disease.

“…We identified six reported cases of IMT during this period [6][7][8][9][10][11] . There was a slight male dominant tendency (four cases), and the patients' age varied from 7 to 75 years.…”

“…Approximately half of the patients with orbital IPT that respond to corticosteroids treatment will relapse. The second line of treatment for orbital IPT consists either of low-dose radiotherapy (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30) Gy at 2 Gy per fraction), chemotherapy, or other immunosuppressive agents. Radiotherapy typically results in 50% or higher long-term local control rates for orbital IPT.…”

“…As for treatments, surgery is usually of the first priority, occurring in 24 reported cases (82.8%). The outcomes are some different among patients: two died of the disease progression soon after the diagnosis [8, 21], two experienced spontaneous improvement without any treatment [18, 22], and the others had subsequently complete or partial remission during the follow up period. Recurrent disease occurred in three of the twenty nine cases (10.3%), and all of them relapsed within a few months after treatment [6, 8, 19].…”

Inflammatory pseudotumor (IP) is a clinically aggressive but histologically benign condition of unknown cause. Its appearance in the temporal bone is uncommon. We present clinical, radiological, and histopathologic findings of three cases originating in the temporal bone. In the first case, a simultaneous IP of the temporal bone and parotid gland was found with histopathologic confirmation. In the second case, an enlarged cervical node, which was also believed to be related to IP, was observed accompanied with the temporal lesion. While the third case presented with chronic suppurative otitis media. Two of them were treated by surgery alone with complete resolve of the diseases. Another one underwent tympanomastoidectomy in combination with oral steroids, radiation, and chemotherapy, but the IP still recurred. A comprehensive review of the literature on clinical features of the temporal pseudotumor was conducted.
