title: [Middle ear tumor of neuroendocrine nature].
abstract: Middle ear neuroendocrine neoplasms are rare and of benign behaviour. Diagnosis is difficult since they produce non-specific symptoms. Electron microscopy and immunochemistry are necessary. We present a carcinoid tumor in a 28-year-old man with one side deafness. He underwent tympanoplasty, staying free of recurrences two years and a half later.
