[Middle ear carcinoma].
Middle-ear cancer represents 5 to 10% of all ear neoplasms. Risk factors include chronic suppurative pathology of the middle ear and prior irradiation. Most malignant tumors are squamous-cell carcinomas. We report the case of a 51-year-old woman with this process. The ideal treatment is mastoidectomy or pterosectomy followed by radiotherapy. We made a bibliographic review of the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of middle-ear cancer. Five-year survival rates range from 25 to 50% in patients who undergo surgery and radiotherapy.
