title: [Benign adenoma of the middle ear].
abstract: Benign adenoma of the middle ear is a tumor from glandular mucosa. In most of the cases, it is revealed between 40 and 60 year old, by a conductive hearing loss with a greyish mass behind intact tympanic membrane. Scanography demonstrated a no specific tumor, without bone destruction. The ossicular chain is usually respected. The histologics findings show two distinctive type of cells: glandular and neuroendocrine differentiation. The treatment is surgical. A regularly follow up is necessary to diagnostic recurrence.
