Middle Ear Salivary Gland Choristoma: A Case Report
Authors
Abstract:
Salivary gland choristoma of the middle ear cavity is a very rare condition. These lesions are a result of a defective embryonic development and their adjacent structures may be associated with abnormalities. Here we report a case of salivary gland choristoma of the middle ear who presented to Be’sat Hospital, Tehran, Iran in 2015 with unilateral conductive hearing loss. There are 41 case reports in English and non-English literature from 1961. Taylor and Martin reported the first case of middle ear salivary choristoma.

We present a case of a permanent facial palsy occurred following an uneventful biopsy during an exploratory tympanotomy in a salivary gland choristoma of the middle ear. Most salivary gland choristomas have been found in the head and neck. Its location in the ear is extremely rare, and thus we prese...

Neuroglialchoristoma is a rare cerebral heterotopia typically involving extracranial midline structures of the head and neck, including the nose, nasopharynx and oral cavity. It rarely involves non-midline structures, such as the middle ear, mastoid and orbit. We report the case of a 63-year-old woman with right-sided hearing loss and aural fullness who was diagnosed with neuroglialchoristoma o...

The occurrence of heterotopic tissue in the large bowel is relatively rare. The most common type of tissue in such heterotopia is gastric mucosa, but rare cases of pancreatic and salivary tissue are also reported in literature. All cases of salivary choristomas reported in literature arose in the rectum–anal canal region [1–5]. Here we report a submucosal salivary gland choristoma in the sigma ...
